A finite-time switching control scheme is presented for tracking a practical moving target of extended nonholonomic chained-form systems. Firstly, a dynamic output tracking error model is proposed combining moving target and extended nonholonomic chained-form systems. Secondly, two decoupled subsystems are considered for the tracking error systems, based on which the rigorous convergence and stability analysis are proposed by applying the finite-time stability control theory and switching design methods. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed finite-time switching control approach is performed according to the further simulation results.

In this paper, finite-time tracking problem of nonholonomic mobile robots for a moving target is considered. First of all, polar coordinates are used to characterize the distance and azimuth between the moving target and the robot. Then, based on the distance and azimuth transported from the sensor installed on the robot, a finite-time tracking control law is designed for the nonholonomic mobile robot by the switching control method. Rigorous proof shows that the tracking error converges to zero in a finite time. Numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

AbstractThis study considers the tracking control problem of the nonstrict-feedback nonlinear system with unknown backlash-like hysteresis, and a finite-time adaptive fuzzy control scheme is developed to address this problem. More precisely, the fuzzy systems are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinearities, and the design difficulties caused by the nonlower triangular structure are also overcome by using the property of fuzzy systems. Besides, the effect of unknown hysteresis input is compensated by approximating an intermediate variable. With the aid of finite-time stability theory, the proposed control algorithm could guarantee that the tracking error converges to a smaller region. Finally, a simulation example is provided to further verify the above theoretical results.

SUMMARY Accurate torque control is a critical issue in the compliant human–robot interaction scenario, which is, however, challenging due to the ever-changing human intentions, input delay, and various disturbances. Even worse, the performances of existing control strategies are limited on account of the compromise between precision and stability. To this end, this paper presents a novel high-performance torque control scheme without compromise. In this scheme, a new nonlinear disturbance observer incorporated with equivalent control concept is proposed, where the faster convergence and stronger anti-noise capability can be obtained simultaneously. Meanwhile, a continuous fractional power control law is designed with an iteration method to address the matched/unmatched disturbance rejection and global finite-time convergence. Moreover, the finite-time stability proof and prescribed control performance are guaranteed using constructed Lyapunov function with adding power integrator technique. Both the simulation and experiments demonstrate enhanced control accuracy, faster convergence rate, perfect disturbance rejection capability, and stronger robustness of the proposed control scheme. Furthermore, the evaluated assistance effects present improved gait patterns and reduced muscle efforts during walking and upstair activity.

In this paper, a multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN)-based adaptive tracking control approach is proposed for a class of switched nonlinear systems with input nonlinearity. Firstly, the input nonlinearity is assumed to be bounded by a sector interval. Secondly, with the help of MTNs approximating the unknown nonlinear functions, a novel adaptive MTN control scheme has the advantages of low cost, simple structure and real time feature is developed via backstepping technique. It is shown that the tracking error finally converges to a small domain around the origin and all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Finally, two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

This paper addresses the finite-time three-dimensional path-following control problem for underactuated autonomous airship with error constraints and uncertainties. First, a five degrees-of-freedom path-following error model in the Serret-Frenet coordinate frame is established. By applying the finite-time stability theory, a virtual guidance-based finite-time adaptive neural backstepping path-following control approach is proposed. Barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) are introduced to deal with attitude error constraints. Neural networks (NNs) are presented to compensate for the uncertainties. To prevent the “explosion of complexity” in the design of the backstepping method, a finite-time convergent differentiator (FTCD) is introduced to estimate the time derivatives of virtual control signals. Stability analysis showed that all closed-loop signals are uniformly ultimately bounded, the constrained requirements on the airship attitude errors are never violated, and the path-following errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in a finite time. At last, simulation studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

In this paper, the position tracking control problem of pneumatic servo systems is investigated. These systems usually have high nonlinearities and unmeasurable piston velocities. Firstly, by using adding a power integrator technique, a global finite-time state feedback controller is proposed. Secondly, based on homogeneous theory, a nonlinear observer is developed to estimate the piston velocity. Finally, the corresponding output feedback controller is derived, which local finite-time stabilizes the position tracking error system. Compared with the conventional backstepping output feedback control scheme, the developed nonsmooth output feedback control scheme offers a faster convergence rate and a better disturbance rejection property. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

This paper presents a robust task-space control approach using a direct adaptive Taylor series controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. In an adaptive Taylor series control scheme, the parameters of controller are directly tuned in order to reduce the task-space tracking error in the presence of structured and unstructured uncertainty. Also, the upper bound of approximation error is estimated to form a robustifying term and the asymptotic convergence of task-space tracking error and its time derivative is proven based on the stability analysis. Simulation results are included to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
