Abstract As a kind of high-efficiency transportation tools, tower cranes are widely used in construction site. With the increasing volume and mass of payload being transported, the researches of distributed mass payload (DMP) problems have been paid more and more attentions. However, most of the existing control algorithms designed for the concentrated mass payload (CMP) are not enough to meet the needs of actual production. The difference between DMP and CMP is mainly manifested in that the remaining payload swing caused by inertial torque of DMP cannot be effectively suppressed, which leads to safety hazards. In addition, due to the different working environment, accurate system parameters (such as mechanical frictions, air frictions ) are hard to obtain, which leads to errors in their positioning. To solve the above issues, first, we establish mathematical model of a double-pendulum tower crane with distributed mass payload (DTCDMP) and carry out dynamic analysis. Then we propose a fuzzy adaptive control method, which has a good tracking effect against external disturbances and parameter uncertainties, and the method can achieve accurate positioning and effective anti-swing. Then, the Lyapunov technology and LaSalle's invariance principle are used to rigorously prove the stability of the system. Finally, on the basis of tracking the S-shaped trajectories, the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller are verified through multi-group comparative experiments.

This paper proposes a fuzzy adaptive control method for uncertain horizontal platform system with unknown control gain, which is capable of guaranteeing the prescribed performance bounds. An error transformation is introduced to transform the original constrained system into an equivalent unconstrained one. Then, based on the error transformation technique and the predefined performance technique, a fuzzy adaptive controller is designed for the unconstrained system. It is shown that all the variables of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed method.

In this article, a new automated steering control method is presented for vehicle lane keeping. This method is a combination between the linear active disturbance rejection control and the quantitative feedback theory. The structure of the steering controller is first determined based on the linear active disturbance rejection control, then the controller is tuned in the framework of the quantitative feedback theory to meet the prescribed design specifications on sensitivity and closed-loop stability. The parameter uncertainties of the vehicle system are considered at the tuning stage. The proposed steering controller is simulated and tested on a scale vehicle. Both the simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the scale vehicle controlled by the proposed controller is able to perform the lane keeping. In the experiments, the lateral offset between the scale vehicle and the road centerline is regulated within the acceptable ranges of ±0.03 m during straight lane keeping and ±0.15 m during curved lane keeping. The proposed controller is easy to be implemented and is simple without requiring complex calculations and measurements of vehicle states. Simulations also show that the control method can be implemented on a full-scale vehicle.

For the pick-and-place operations of GDL, this paper presents and obtains the control system model using system identification method, and analyzes three distinct stages for the motion characteristics in pick-and-place operations. To satisfy the stick requirements for contact force control, a force controller based on fuzzy adaptive PID algorithm and a position controller based on feed-forward control are presented and designed. Simulations are carried out to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control method. The above control strategies and methods are applied to pick up and place GDL. They can also be extended to the pick-and-place operations of the chips and other filed, which has broad application prospects.

Abstract In the technology of hydraulic lifting system, it is not only necessary to ensure that the displacement and velocity accuracy of each hoist reach a certain value, but also to ensure that under the control of load balance to make each hoist smooth lift. In the conventional method, the PID control method can realize the synchronization of the function. However, the system cannot be controlled and adjusted in real time during the control parameter period, resulting in instability and uncertainty of the system. Aiming at this problem, this paper adds the fuzzy adaptive controller to carry out the master-slave control of the system. AMESim and MATLAB co-simulation were used to model the overall model of the hydraulic system. At the same time, the pressure compensator and variable throttle port model in the hydraulic reservoir were selected to build. The pressure compensator is used to keep the pressure difference of the throttle orifice constant, so as to complete the control and design of the hydraulic lifting system. Finally, the simulation results obtained not only can effectively improve the instability of the hydraulic lifting process, but also greatly improve the operation speed of the system.

A composite control method based on the model-free adaptive control is applied to the position or speed control of the linear motor. The model-free adaptive controller (MFAC) broke through the classical PID controller design of linear framework, is a kind of new controller, it' structure is adaptive and a kind of integration of modeling and control method. The composite control method includes an adaptive feedforward compensator which is designed to eliminate or suppress the effects of inherent force ripple for a permanent magnet linear motor (PMLM). Simulation results show that compared with PID control, the proposed composite control algorithm is more effective for the strong coupling of nonlinear system and difficult to realize stable control. And the response performance of the system is realized.

For any electric vehicle on the road, it is inevitable to be influenced by parameter uncertainties and some kinds of disturbance torques, which present challenge for the controller design in the electric vehicle. Therefore, control of the electric vehicle to achieve the safety running requirement becomes important. In this paper, we investigate the control method for electric drive system of the electric vehicle from both theoretical and applied perspectives, then, speed loop inverse based disturbance rejection control strategy is proposed. The proposed approach is illustrated by implementing it into an experimental platform. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed control method can achieve rapid response to current variation at operating frequency of electric vehicle, and substantially suppress the adverse effect of current variation at high frequency.

Considerable elasticity and nonlinear friction caused by harmonic transmission challenge the performance of flexible-joint manipulators. The uncertain dynamics of manipulator and the inadequate measurable states also limit the controller design. A new control method is proposed to address these problems, achieving the precise motion control of the flexible-joint manipulator. The method consists of three cascaded controllers: an adaptive controller, a torque-tracking controller, and a motor controller. The adaptive controller was adopted to generate the desired torque ensuring the robustness for uncertain dynamics. The torque-tracking controller derived the position compensation for motor control according to the torque error. As the elastic torque is under control, the vibration caused by harmonic drive can be eliminated. The motor was controlled based on poles-assignment method and friction compensation. The Kalman observer based on the Brownian motion model observed both velocity and the high-order derivatives of torque sensing. The stability of the control method was strictly proved. Calibration was performed on each joint to obtain the required joint stiffness and motor friction parameters. The control method was verified on a single joint and the frequency response of the system was obtained. The results show that the controller has good performance. The controller was realized on the self-developed seven-degree-of-freedom manipulator. The results reveal that the controller has high-precision tracking performance.

In view that researchers only control some low-dimensional chaotic power system models, this paper aims at controlling chaos in a complex six-dimensional power system model. By introducing the dynamic model of an energy storage device and static synchronous compensator, an adaptive synergetic control scheme is proposed for the model to suppress its chaotic oscillation. Since the designed controller will inevitably contain complex derivative terms of a controlled power system according to the conventional controller design process, a novel adaptive synergetic control scheme is proposed. The presented adaptive controller for the chaotic power system can completely suppress its chaotic oscillation. The prominent advantages of the proposed control scheme are that it can avoid complex derivative terms of the controlled system and can avoid chattering as in the sliding mode control method. Simulations validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed scheme.
