Abstract This paper proposes a scheme of model predictive control for single-loop networked control system (NCS) with probabilistically modeled communication channel and disturbances. Uncertainties of the communication network are projected onto a tailored probability for the satisfaction of state and input constraints. The proposed receding horizon control scheme uses a probabilistic terminal state and set to establish a balance between control performance and state probability distribution, while satisfying the given constraints. In addition to describing the control approach, its properties are discussed, and it is illustrated by an example.

In this article, the coordinated path-following control problem for networked unmanned surface vehicles is investigated. The communication network brings time delays and packet dropouts to the fleet, which will have negative effects on the control performance of the fleet. To attenuate the negative effects, a novel networked predictive control scheme is proposed. By introducing the predictive error into the control scheme, the proposed control strategy admits some advantages compared with existing networked predictive control strategies, for example, a degree of robustness to disturbances, lower requirements for the computing capacity of the onboard processors, high flexibility in controller design, and so on. Conditions that guarantee the control performance of the overall system are derived in the theoretical analysis. At last, experiments on hovercraft test beds are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

A robust H∞-type state feedback model predictive control (H∞-SFMPC) with input constraints is proposed to optimize the control performance during the ship sailing. Specifically, the approach employed in this paper is able to optimize the closed-loop performance with respect to an H∞-type cost function which predicts the system performance based on the actual model instead of the ideal model. As a result, the effect caused by disturbances is attenuated. The state feedback control gain for the control input of the rudder-fin joint roll/yaw control system is obtained by solving a constrained convex optimization problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Simulations are carried out, which reveal that the proposed approach has outstanding control performance. Furthermore, it is found that the approach also has significant robustness with respect to parameter uncertainties.

This paper proposes a new method to improve fuzzy control performance accuracy in the stabilization of the two-axis gimbal system. To this end, due to the fact that the knowledge of the accurate behavior of the system plays a substantial role in fuzzy control performance, all the uncertain parameters of the dynamic model such as friction, mass imbalance and moments of inertia are estimated prior to the controller design and without imposing any computational burden on the control scheme. To estimate the uncertainties and disturbances which exist in the dynamic equations, an identification process formulated as an inverse problem is utilized, and the Gauss– Newton method is adopted for the optimization process. Regarding the severe sensitivity of inverse problems to measurement errors, this undesirable effect is reduced by using a proper smoothing technique. In order to increase the accuracy of the final results, a novel procedure for calculation of the sensitivity coefficients of the inverse problem is proposed. This procedure is based on the direct differentiation of the governing equations with respect to the unknown parameters. At the end, simulation results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Abstract In this paper, a suboptimal approach to distributed closed-loop min-max MPC for uncertain systems consisting of polytopic subsystems with coupled dynamics subject to both state and input constraints is proposed. The approach applies the dynamic dual decomposition method and reformulates the original centralized min-max MPC problem into a distributed optimization problem. The suggested approach is illustrated on a simulation example of an uncertain system consisting of two interconnected polytopic subsystems.

This paper considers a resolved kinematic motion control approach for controlling a spatial serial manipulator arm that is mounted on a vehicle base. The end-effector’s motion of the manipulator is controlled by a novel kinematic control scheme, and the performance is compared with the well-known operational-space control scheme. The proposed control scheme aims to track the given operational-space (end-effector) motion trajectory with the help of resolved configuration-space motion without using the Jacobian matrix inverse or pseudo inverse. The experimental testing results show that the suggested control scheme is as close to the conventional operational-space kinematic control scheme.

A nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) is proposed for underactuated surface vessel (USV) with constrained inputs. Aimed at the special structure of USV, a state-dependent coefficient (SDC) under the given USV is constructed in terms of diffeomorphism and state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) theory. Based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), the states of the USV are steered into an operating region around zero. When the states reach the region, the control law is switched to stabilize the system. And the constrained control input of the considered system is solved by convex optimization based on MPC involving LMIs. The simulation results verified the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is shown that, based on LMIs, it is easy to get the MPC for the USV with input constraints.
