The inherited instabilities in the Inverted Pendulum (IP) system make it one of the most difficult nonlinear problems in the control theory. In this research work, Proportional –Integral and Derivative (PID) Controller with a feed forward gain is used with Reduced Linear Quadratic Regulator (RLQR) for stabilizing the Cart Position and Swinging-up the Pendulum angle. Tuning the Controllers' gains is achieved by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Technique. Obtaining the combined PID controllers' gains with a feed forward gain and RLQR is a multi-dimensions control problem. The Proposed Controllers give minimum Settling Time, Rise Time, Undershoot and Over shoot for both the Cart Position and the Pendulum angle. A disturbance with different amplitudes is applied to the system, and the results showed the robustness of the systems based on the tuned controllers. The overall results are promising.

This research work presents an efficient hybrid control methodology through combining the traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) optimal controlher. The proposed hybrid control approach is adopted to design three degree of freedom (3DOF) stabilizing system for helicopter. The gain parameters of the classic PID controller are determined using the elements of the LQR feedback gain matrix. The dynamic behaviour of the LQR based PID controller, is modeled and the formulated in state space form to enable utlizing state feedback controller technique. The performance of the proposed LQR based LQR controller is improved by using Genetic Algorithm optimization method which are adopted to obtain optimum values for LQR controller gain parameters. The LQR-PID hybrid controller is simulated using Matlab environment and its performance is evaluated based on rise time, settling time, overshoot and steady state error parameters to validate the proposed 3DOF helicopter balancing system. Based on GA tuning approach, the simulation results suggest that the hybrid LQR-PID controller can be effectively adopted to stabilize the 3DOF helicopter system.

Inverted Pendulum system is one of the most exciting problems in control theory. In this research work, a new variant of Grey Wolf optimizer (GWO) via Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based on Adaptive Constants (AC) is proposed. The proposed technique (GWO/PSO-AC) is tested via twenty-three benchmark functions and compared to GWO based on PSO without adaptive constants (GWO/PSO). The suggested technique shows superiority in determining the optimal solutions for the well-established benchmark test functions with high computing performance compared to alternative techniques. The proposed GWO/PSO-AC technique, is employed to tune the parameters of the Variable Structure Adaptive Fuzzy (VSAF) controller in addition to the Reduced Linear Quadratic Regulator (RLQR) suggested by the authors. Both controllers are used to stabilize the cart position and to swing up the pendulum angle. The RLQR has an advantage over regular LQR, which is, the numberof the required parameters to obtain the required LQR gains is reduced. The proposed technique is compared with two optimization techniques. The proposed technique achieves high performance for both the cart position and the pendulum angle. The attained results are very promising.

The application in the industrial manipulator robots has grown over the years making production systems increasingly efficient. Within this context, the need for efficient controllers is required to perform the control of these manipulators. In this work the PID controller (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) and LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) is presented from the inverse dynamics model of a RPP (Rotational - Prismatic - Prismatic) cylindrical manipulator. The inverse dynamic model which is modeled on Simulink together with a cascaded PID controller is presented. The PID and LQR results are also presented for joint independent and joint dependent control, i.e a controlled PID is used for each joint, controlling the trajectories and speeds at the same time. This paper has as main contributions the development of the manipulator dynamics model and the design of the LQR and PID controllers applied to the inverse dynamics model, which makes the system simpler to control.

AbstractFrom the last few decades, inverted pendulums have become a benchmark problem in dynamics and control theory. Due to their inherit nature of nonlinearity, instability and underactuation, these are widely used to verify and implement emerging control techniques. Moreover, the dynamics of inverted pendulum systems resemble many real-world systems such as segways, humanoid robots etc. In the literature, a wide range of controllers had been tested on this problem, out of which, the most robust being the sliding mode controller while the most optimal being the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller. The former has a problem of non-robust reachability phase while the later lacks the property of robustness. To address these issues in both the controllers, this paper presents the novel implementation of integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) for stabilization of a spatial inverted pendulum (SIP), also known as an x-y-z inverted pendulum. The structure has three control inputs and five controlled outputs. Mathematical modeling of the system is done using Euler Lagrange approach. ISMC has an advantage of eliminating non-robust reachability phase along with enhancing the robustness of the nominal controller (LQR Controller). To validate the robustness of ISMC to matched uncertainties, an input disturbance is added to the nonlinear model of the system. Simulation results on two different case studies demonstrate that the proposed controller is more robust as compared to conventional LQR controller. Furthermore, the problem of chattering in the controller is dealt by smoothening the controller inputs to the system with insignificant loss in robustness.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design linear quadratic regulator (LQR) based Luenberger observer for the estimation of unknown states of aircraft. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the LQR-based Luenberger observer is deliberated for autonomous level flight of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which has been attained productively. Various modes like phugoid and roll modes are exploited for controlling the rates of UAV. The Luenberger observer is exploited for estimation of the mysterious states of the system. The rates of roll, yaw and pitch are used as an input to the observer, while the remaining states such as velocities and angles have been anticipated. The main advantage of using Luenberger observer was to reduce the cost of the system which has been achieved lucratively. The Luenberger observer proposes sturdiness at the rate of completion to conquest over the turmoil and insecurities to overcome the privileged recital. The FlightGear simulator is exploited for the endorsement of the recital of the Luenberger observer-based autopilot. The level flight has been subjugated lucratively and has been legitimated by exploiting the FlightGear simulator. The authenticated and the validated results are offered in this paper. Microsoft Visual Studio has been engaged as a medium between the MATLAB and FlightGear Simulator. Findings The suggested observer based on LQR ensures the lucrative approximation of the unknown states of the system as well as the successful level flight of the system. The Luenberger observer is used for approximation of states while LQR is used as controller. Originality/value In this research work, not only the estimation of unknown states of both longitudinal and lateral model is made but also the level flight is achieved by using those estimated states and the autopilot is validated by using the FlightGear, while in most of the research work only the estimation is made of only longitudinal or lateral model.

The objective of this article is to optimize parameters of a hybrid sliding mode controller based on fireworks algorithm for a nonlinear inverted pendulum system. The proposed controller is a combination of two modified types of the classical sliding mode controller, namely, baseline sliding mode controller and fast output sampling discrete sliding mode controller. The simulation process is carried out with MATLAB/Simulink. The results are compared with a published hybrid method using proportional–integral–derivative and linear quadratic regulator controllers. The simulation results show a better performance of the proposed controller.

A vision-based servoing technique is proposed for a 2 degrees-of-freedom (dof) model helicopter equipped with a monocular vision system. In general, these techniques can be categorized as image- and position-based, where the task error is defined in the image plane in the former and in the physical space in the latter. The 2-dof model helicopter requires a configuration-dependent feed-forward control to compensate for gravitational forces when servoing on a ground target. Therefore, a position-based visual servoing deems more appropriate for precision control. Image information collected from a ground object, with known geometry a priori, is used to calculate the desired pose of the camera and correspondingly the desired joint angles of the model helicopter. To assure a smooth servoing, the task error is parameterized, using the information obtained from the linearaized image Jacobian, and time scaled to form a moving reference trajectory. At the higher level, a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), augmented with a feed-forward term and an integrator, is used to track this trajectory. The discretization of the reference trajectory is achieved by an error-clamping strategy for optimal performance. The proposed technique was tested on a 2-dof model helicopter capable of pitch and yaw maneuvers carrying a light-weight off-the-shelf video camera. The test results show that the optimized controller can servo the model helicopter to a hovering pose for an image acquisition rate of as low as 2 frames per second.

AbstractFrom the last five decades, inverted pendulum (IP) has been considered as a benchmark problem in the control literature due to its inherit nature of instability, non-linearity and underactuation. Its applicability in wide range of practical systems, demands the need of a robust controller. It is found in the literature that wide range of controllers had been tested on this problem, out of which the most robust being sliding mode controller while the most optimal being linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller. The former has a problem of discontinuity and chattering, while the latter lacks the property of robustness. To address the robustness issue in LQR controller, this paper proposes a novel robust LQR-based adaptive neural based fuzzy inference system controller, which is a hybrid of LQR and fuzzy inference system. The proposed controller is designed and implemented on rotary inverted pendulum. Further, to validate the robustness of proposed controller to parametric uncertainties, pendulum mass is varied. Simulation and experimental results show that as compared to LQR controller, the proposed controller is robust to variations in pendulum mass and has shown satisfactory performance.
