In this article, a robust adaptive intelligent fault-tolerant controller with prescribed performance is proposed for an uncertain quadruped robot with actuator fault. The control system comprised of three terms: (1) a full-state feedback controller which includes the prescribed performance function, (2) an adaptive intelligent wavelet-based Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy network (TSFN), and (3) a robust control term. The proposed controller does not utilize the robot dynamic model. A wavelet-based TSFN is utilized to approximate adaptively the lumped nonlinear terms, parameter uncertainties, and defective torque signal. The wavelet block acts as a feature extractor, reduces the number of fuzzy rules, and also acts as a normalization function. The parameters of TSFN are tuned online by an adaptive law based on Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed controller guarantees the desired specification such as minimum speed of convergence, maximum steady-state error, overshoot concerning the position tracking error, and also bounded closed-loop signals. Numerical simulations on MATLAB/SimMechanics environment demonstrate the stable walking of the quadruped robot in the presence of the actuator faults and parameter uncertainties.

Disturbance Rejection Control

Aiming at the longitudinal motion model of the air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (AHVs) with parameter uncertainties, a new prescribed performance-based active disturbance rejection control (PP-ADRC) method was proposed. First, the AHV model was divided into a velocity subsystem and altitude system. To guarantee the reliability of the control law, the design process was based on the nonaffine form of the AHV model. Unlike the traditional prescribed performance control (PPC), which requires accurate initial tracking errors, by designing a new performance function that does not depend on the initial tracking error and can ensure the small overshoot convergence of the tracking error, the error convergence process can meet the desired dynamic and steady-state performance. Moreover, the designed controller combined with an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and extended state observer (ESO) further enhanced the disturbance rejection capability and robustness of the method. To avoid the differential expansion problem and effectively filter out the effects of input noise in the differential signals, a new tracking differentiator was proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by comparative simulations.

Robust Adaptive

A robust adaptive neural control scheme based on a back-stepping technique is developed for the longitudinal dynamics of a flexible hypersonic flight vehicle, which is able to ensure the state tracking error being confined in the prescribed bounds, in spite of the existing model uncertainties and actuator constraints. Minimal learning parameter technique–based neural networks are used to estimate the model uncertainties; thus, the amount of online updated parameters is largely lessened, and the prior information of the aerodynamic parameters is dispensable. With the utilization of an assistant compensation system, the problem of actuator constraint is overcome. By combining the prescribed performance function and sliding mode differentiator into the neural back-stepping control design procedure, a composite state tracking error constrained adaptive neural control approach is presented, and a new type of adaptive law is constructed. As compared with other adaptive neural control designs for hypersonic flight vehicle, the proposed composite control scheme exhibits not only low-computation property but also strong robustness. Finally, two comparative simulations are performed to demonstrate the robustness of this neural prescribed performance controller.

Dynamic Uncertainties

A neural network robust control is proposed for a class of generic hypersonic flight vehicles with uncertain dynamics and stochastic disturbance. Compared with the present schemes of dealing with dynamic uncertainties and stochastic disturbance, the outstanding feature of the proposed scheme is that only one parameter needs to be estimated at each design step, so that the computational burden can be greatly reduced and the designed controller is much simpler. Moreover, by introducing a performance function in controller design, the prespecified transient and performance of tracking error can be guaranteed. It is proved that all signals of closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. The simulation results are carried out to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.

This paper addresses the problem of robust adaptive finite-time tracking control for a class of mechanical systems in the presence of model uncertainties, unknown external disturbances, and input nonlinearities containing saturation and deadzone. Without imposing any conditions on the model uncertainties, radial basis function neural networks are used to approximate unknown nonlinear continuous functions, and an adaptive tracking control scheme is proposed by exploiting the recursive design method. It is shown that the input saturation and deadzone model can be expressed as a simple linear system with a time-varying gain and bounded disturbance. An adaptive compensation term for the upper bound of the lumped disturbance is introduced. The semi-global finite-time uniform ultimate boundedness of the corresponding closed-loop tracking error system is proved with the help of the finite-time Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust Adaptive

The quadrotor helicopter is designed to easily move in particular environments because it can take off and land in limited space and easily hover at a fixed location. For this reason, a robust adaptive sliding mode controller is developed to control of a quadrotor helicopter in the presence of external disturbances and parameter uncertainties. The quadrotor helicopter system is a typical underactuated system, which has fewer independent control actuators than degrees of freedom to be controlled. The main contribution here is to afford simulation and verification for the quadrotor helicopter flight controller under the assumption of unknown parameters. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theorem, we can achieve asymptotic tracking of desired reference commands for the quadrotor helicopter, which is subject to both external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. From the simulation results, the controller was sufficient to achieve position and attitude control of the quadrotor helicopter system, which permits possible real time applications in the near future.

This paper proposed a fault-tolerant control (FTC) for nonlinear control-affine uncertain MIMO systems. The proposed controller is no need for on-line fault detection and diagnosis unit, and inexpensive to compute. An adaptive FTC designed method based on Lyapunov-like approach is developed to overcome the affect of parameter uncertainties, matched and mismatched disturbance, and actuator failures. And the theoretical analysis demonstrates that asymptotical tracking error convergence would be guaranteed by the controller. Numerical simulations are provided to validate and illustrate the benefits of the proposed control scheme.

The design of an output-based robust disturbance rejection controller, aimed to solve the state tracking for the articulations of an experimental biped robot, was the main outcome of this study. The robust disturbance rejection controller included an auxiliary hybrid observer entailed to recover the angular velocity for each articulation. The estimated states served to perform the approximation of disturbances and non-modeled parts in the biped robot dynamics by implementing an extended state observer structure. The observer used the tracking position errors as input information, as well as considering the limb articular constraints, which are natural for biologically inspired biped robots. The effect of state constraints motivated the implementation of a hybrid observer with saturated output error injection. The controller design used the estimation of constraint velocity for solving the design of a tracking trajectory control to resolve the reproduction of the gait cycle by the bipedal robotic system. The Lyapunov stability theory served to obtain the laws which adjust the observer gains as well as to prove the ultimate boundedness of the tracking error as well. The evaluation of the suggested controller was realized on a numerical representation of the biped robot. These simulations illustrated the tracking performance of the hybrid robust disturbance rejection controller for all biped robot articulations in a decentralized structure. Experimental evaluations were also considered to validate the robust disturbance rejection controller design. A fully actuated biped robot was constructed and controlled by the robust disturbance rejection controller. The tracking results obtained by the robust disturbance rejection controller (in both the numerical and experimental evaluations) overcame the classical approach performances of diverse controllers as state feedback (proportional-derivative form) and regular robust disturbance rejection controller which did not consider the articulation constraints.
