This article presents the self-tuning regulator control technique for a coupled tank liquid level system that often used in industry. An autoregressive with exogenous model has been used as the liquid process model with the self-tuning control implementation in order to track the desired tank level trajectories with disturbances and uncertainties of the system dynamics. The designed self-tuning controller has been sensitive to parameter variations of the nonlinear coupled tank system. The parameters of the proposed controller are periodically updated themselves during the process by means of online recursive least square method with the forgetting factor algorithm. In this way, the parameter variations and unwanted disturbances of the system are eliminated in real-time application. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the self-tuning regulator control technique, the real-time studies have been executed. The obtained experimental results demonstrated that the proposed controller gives the better trajectory tracking performance and smaller magnitude in overshot and undershot than the designed classical proportional–integral and sliding mode controllers.

This paper presents analysis and experiments for Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) algorithm based on software simulation. First, we illustrate the time invariant GPC algorithm in detail. Then, we describe the principle for the control parameter selection of GPC based on empirical results. The Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm will be used to identify model parameters in the self-tuning GPC. The performance of GPC algorithm is validated by simulation results, which show that the algorithm has rapid and accurate dynamic responses for input signals, such as step signal and square wave. When the model parameters are unknown, with the assistance of RLS, the self-tuning GPC algorithm also presents good performance and robustness capability, even when white Gaussian noise exists.

During the last two decades, advances in electronic engineering, hydrological modelling and systems theory have given considerable benefits to the hydrological forecast developments. Today several powerful adaptive techniques are available, which can improve the reliability of hydrological forecasting. One of these techniques is the self-tuning predictor based on an ARMA type model using direct parameter estimation by recursive least square algorithm. The selftuning predictor has been tested on the River Västerdalälven in Sweden.

This paper presents the development of a resolved motion adaptive control which adopts the ideas of “resolved motion rate control” [8] and “resolved motion acceleration control” [10] to control a manipulator in Cartesian coordinates for various loading conditions. The proposed adaptive control is performed at the hand level and is based on the linearized perturbation system along a desired hand trajectory. The controlled system is characterized by feedforward and feedback components which can be computed separately and simultaneously. The feedforward component resolves the specified positions, velocities, and accelerations of the hand into a set of values of joint positions, velocities, and accelerations from which the nominal joint torques are computed using the Newton-Euler equations of motion to compensate all the interaction forces among the various joints. The feedback component consisting of recursive least square identification scheme and an optimal adaptive self-tuning controller for the linearized system computes the perturbation torques which reduce the manipulator hand position and velocity errors along the nominal hand trajectory. The feasibility of implementing the proposed adaptive control using present day low-cost microprocessors is explored.

We propose an approach for real-time blind source separation (BSS), in which the observations are linear convolutive mixtures of statistically independent acoustic sources. A recursive least square (RLS)-like strategy is devised for real-time BSS processing. A normal equation is further introduced as an expression between the separation matrix and the correlation matrix of observations. We recursively estimate the correlation matrix and explicitly, rather than stochastically, solve the normal equation to obtain the separation matrix. As an example of application, the approach has been applied to a BSS problem where the separation criterion is based on the second-order statistics and the non-stationarity of signals in the frequency domain. In this way, we realise a novel BSS algorithm, called exponentially weighted recursive BSS algorithm. The simulation and experimental results showed an improved separation and a superior convergence rate of the proposed algorithm over that of the gradient algorithm. Moreover, this algorithm can converge to a much lower cost value than that of the gradient algorithm.

Considering the varying inertia and load torque in high speed and high accuracy servo systems, a novel discrete second-order sliding mode adaptive controller (DSSMAC) based on characteristic model is proposed, and a command observer is also designed. Firstly, the discrete characteristic model of servo systems is established. Secondly, the recursive least square algorithm is adopted to identify time-varying parameters in characteristic model, and the observer is applied to predict the command value of next sample time. Furthermore, the stability of the closed-loop system and the convergence of the observer are analyzed. The experimental results show that the proposed method not only can adapt to varying inertia and load torque, but also has good disturbance rejection ability and robustness to uncertainties.
