Abstract Nanopositioning stages are widely used in high-precision positioning applications. However, they suffer from an intrinsic hysteretic behavior, which deteriorates their tracking performance. This study proposes an adaptive conditional servocompensator (ACS) to compensate the effect of the hysteresis when tracking periodic references. The nanopositioning system is modeled as a linear system cascaded with hysteresis at the input side. The hysteresis is modeled with a Modified Prandtl-Ishlinskii (MPI) operator. With an approximate inverse MPI operator placed before the system hysteresis operator, the resulting system takes a semi-affine form. The design of the adaptive conditional servocompensator consists of two stages: firstly, we design a continuously-implemented sliding mode control (SMC) law. The hysteresis inversion error is treated as a matched disturbance and an analytical bound on the inversion error is used to minimize the conservativeness of the SMC design. The second part of the controller is the adaptive conditional servocompensator. Under mild assumptions, we establish the well-posedness and periodic stability of the closed-loop system. In particular, the solution of the closed-loop error system will converge exponentially to a unique periodic solution in the neighborhood of zero. The efficacy of the proposed controller is verified experimentally on a commercial nanopositioning device under different types of periodic reference inputs, via comparison with multiple inversion-based and inversion-free approaches.

Abstract This paper proposes a sliding mode controller (SMC) with modified Nelder-Mead tuning, for the control of nonlinear chemical processes, which are represented as first order plus dead time process with negative gain (FOPDT-NG). In the controller design, the SMC controller parameter in continuous part is obtained based on the time constant and dead time of the process, and controller parameters in the discontinuous part is obtained using Nelder-Mead tuning equations. Even though the controller parameters of conventional SMC are tuned using Nelder-Mead tuning, zero dynamics are noticed in the closed loop response of few FOPDT-NG processes and, with few other FOPDT-NG processes tracking of set-point is unachievable. This work proposes modification in the Nelder-Mead tuning equations using Nelder-Mead optimization to overcome the above disadvantages. Four different types of FOPDT-NG processes are considered in this work, and for every type the Nelder-Mead tuning equations are modified, for the design of proposed controllers. The performances of proposed controllers are evaluated for FOPDT-NG processes and also for three different chemical processes taken from literature. A simulation results demonstrate that, the proposed controller prevailed the performance of the conventional SMC in tracking the set-point and the elimination of zero dynamic behavior of FOPDT-NG processes. Hence, the proposed controllers provide improved closed loop performances as compared to the conventional SMC.

This paper considers the Mittag-Leffler projective synchronization problem of fractional-order coupled systems (FOCS) on the complex networks without strong connectedness by fractional sliding mode control (SMC). Combining the hierarchical algorithm with the graph theory, a new SMC strategy is designed to realize the projective synchronization between the master system and the slave system, which covers the globally complete synchronization and the globally anti-synchronization. In addition, some novel criteria are derived to guarantee the Mittag-Leffler stability of the projective synchronization error system. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

This paper proposes an online direct closed-loop identification method based on a new dynamic sliding mode technique for robotic applications. The estimated parameters are obtained by minimizing the prediction error with respect to the vector of unknown parameters. The estimation step requires knowledge of the actual input and output of the system, as well as the successive estimate of the output derivatives. Therefore, a special robust differentiator based on higher-order sliding modes with a dynamic gain is defined. A proof of convergence is given for the robust differentiator. The dynamic parameters are estimated using the recursive least squares algorithm by the solution of a system model that is obtained from sampled positions along the closed-loop trajectory. An experimental validation is given for a 2 Degrees Of Freedom (2-DOF) robot manipulator, where direct and cross-validations are carried out. A comparative analysis is detailed to evaluate the algorithm’s effectiveness and reliability. Its performance is demonstrated by a better-quality torque prediction compared to other differentiators recently proposed in the literature. The experimental results highlight that the differentiator design strongly influences the online parametric identification and, thus, the prediction of system input variables.

Low-voltage and high-current direct current (DC) power supplies are essential for aerospace and shipping. However, its robustness and dynamic response need to be optimized further on some special occasions. In this paper, a novel rectification system platform is built with the low-voltage and high-current permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), in which the DC voltage double closed-loop control system is constructed with the backstepping control method and the sliding mode variable structure (SMVS). In the active component control structure of this system, reasonable virtual control variables are set to obtain the overall structural control variable which satisfied the stability requirements of Lyapunov stability theory. Thus, the fast-tracking and the global adjustment of the system are realized and the robustness is improved. Since the reactive component control structure is simple and no subsystem has to be constructed, the SMVS is used to stabilize the system power factor. By building a simulation model and experimental platform of the 5 V/300 A rectification module based on the PMSG, it is verified that the power factor of the system can reach about 98.5%. When the load mutation occurs, the DC output achieves stability again within 0.02 s, and the system fluctuation rate does not exceed 2%.

The problem of controlling the rectilinear motion of an open container without exceeding a prescribed liquid level and other constraints is considered using a recently-developed constrained sliding mode control design methodology based on invariant cylinders. A conventional sliding mode regulator is designed first to address nominal performance in the sliding mode. Then an robustly-invariant cylinder is constructed and used to describe the set of safe initial conditions from which the closed-loop controller can be operated without constraint violation. Simulations of a typical transfer illustrate the usefulness of the method in an industrial setting. Experimental results corresponding to a high-speed transfer validate the theory.

This paper investigates formation tracking control for multi-agent networks with fixed time convergence. The control task is that the follower agents are required to form a prescribed formation within a fixed time and the geometric center of the formation moves in sync with the leader. First, an error system is designed by using the information of adjacent agents and a new control protocol is designed based on the error system and terminal sliding mode control (TSMC). Then, via employing the Lyapunov stability theorem and the fixed time stability theorem, the control task is proved to be possible within a fixed time and the convergence time can be calculated by parameters. Finally, numerical results illustrate the feasibility of the proposed control protocol.

In agricultural production, weed removal is an important part of crop cultivation, but inevitably, other plants compete with crops for nutrients. Only by identifying and removing weeds can the quality of the harvest be guaranteed. Therefore, the distinction between weeds and crops is particularly important. Recently, deep learning technology has also been applied to the field of botany, and achieved good results. Convolutional neural networks are widely used in deep learning because of their excellent classification effects. The purpose of this article is to find a new method of plant seedling classification. This method includes two stages: image segmentation and image classification. The first stage is to use the improved U-Net to segment the dataset, and the second stage is to use six classification networks to classify the seedlings of the segmented dataset. The dataset used for the experiment contained 12 different types of plants, namely, 3 crops and 9 weeds. The model was evaluated by the multi-class statistical analysis of accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. The results show that the two-stage classification method combining the improved U-Net segmentation network and the classification network was more conducive to the classification of plant seedlings, and the classification accuracy reaches 97.7%.
