This paper presents an application of the MRAC (Model Reference Adaptive Control) techniques to achieve the attitude stabilization in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) type quadrotor when there exists disturbances and/or uncertainties in the parameters due to changes in the payload, variations in battery voltage during flight, etc. This is achieved by performing an online adaptation of the controller parameters, which are obtained by showing the stability property of the closed loop control system using Lyapunov theory. Simulation results using Matlab-Simulink platform are presented to demonstrate the convergence of the controller parameters.

The paper addresses the problem of effectively and robustly controlling a 3D overhead crane under the payload mass uncertainty, where the control performance is shown to be consistent. It is proposed to employ the sliding mode control technique to design the closed-loop controller due to its robustness, regardless of the uncertainties and nonlinearities of the under-actuated crane system. The radial basis function neural network has been exploited to construct an adaptive mechanism for estimating the unknown dynamics. More importantly, the adaptation methods have been derived from the Lyapunov theory to not only guarantee stability of the closed-loop control system, but also approximate the unknown and uncertain payload mass and weight matrix, which maintains the consistency of the control performance, although the cargo mass can be varied. Furthermore, the results obtained by implementing the proposed algorithm in the simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the consistency of the control performance, although the payload mass is uncertain.

GNSS receiver will produce a large Doppler shift in high dynamic environment, thus causing lock-lose of the tracking loop. INS-aided GNSS tightly coupled system can improve tracking performance in high dynamic environment by introducing the Doppler information estimated by INS. Through analyzing by the theory of closed loop control system theory and numerical simulation of the INS-aided carrier tracking loop, the results show that INS-aided carrier tracking loop can obviously improve the stability of carrier tracking performance and anti-jamming ability of the satellite navigation receiver in high dynamic circumstance.

Compared with L-type filter, LCL-type filter is more suitable for high-power low-switching frequency applications with reducing the inductance, improving dynamic performance. However, the parameter design for the LCL filter is more complex due to the influence of the controller response performance of the converter. If the harmonic current around switching frequency can be fully suppressed, it is possible for inverter to decrease the total inductance as well as the size and the cost. In this paper, the model of the LCL filter is analyzed and numerical algorithms are adopted to analyze the stability of the closed-loop control system and stable regions are deduced with different parameters of LCL filter. Then, the minimum sampling frequencies are deduced with different conditions. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the research on the generating mechanism for the unstable region of sampling frequency.

This paper presents a lumped perturbation observer-based robust control method using an extended multiple sliding surface for a system with matched and unmatched uncertainties. The fundamental methodology is to apply the multiple surfaces to approximate the unknown lumped perturbations simultaneously influencing on a nonlinear single input–single output (SISO) system. Subsequently, a robust controller, based on the proposed multi-surface and the approximated values, is designed to highly improve the control performance of the system. A general stability of the lumped perturbation observer and closed-loop control system is obtained through the Lyapunov theory. Results of a numerical simulation of an illustrative example demonstrate the soundness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper extends the conventional Model Reference Adaptive Control systems to fractional ones based on the theory of fractional calculus. A control law and an incommensurate fractional adaptation law are designed for the fractional plant and the fractional reference model. The stability and tracking convergence are analyzed using the frequency distributed fractional integrator model and Lyapunov theory. Moreover, numerical simulations of both linear and nonlinear systems are performed to exhibit the viability and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

SUMMARYEmploying passive dynamics of the simplest point-foot walker, we have shown that the walking surface could have a great role in promoting the gait stability. In this regard, the stabilization of the simplest walking model,3 between the range of slopes greater than 0.0151 rad. and less than 0.26 rad., has been achieved. The walker like other passive dynamic walking models has no open or closed-loop control system; so, is only actuated by the gravity field. Moreover, no damper or spring is used. Obviously, according to the model's unstable behavior, it is unable to walk on an even flat ramp between the mentioned intervals.3 Here, instead of restraining the model, we let it explore other smooth surfaces, walking on which, will end in an equally inclined surface. To reach the objective, we employ a parallel series of fixed straight lines (local slopes) passing through contact points of an unstable cycling gait, which is generated by an ordinary ramp. To categorize, we have nicknamed those local slopes that guide the biped to a stable cyclic walking, “Ground Attractors,” and the other, leading it to a fall, “Repulsive Directions.” Our results reveal that for the slope <0.26 rad., a closed interval of ground attractors could be found. Stabilization of those unstable limit cycles by this technique makes obvious the key role of walking surface on bipedal gait. Furthermore, following our previous work,13 the results confirm that the two thoroughly similar walking trajectories can have different stability. All of these results strongly demonstrate that without considering the effects of a walking surface, we cannot establish any explicit relationship between the walker's speed and its stability.

The basic characteristic of batch bioreactors is their inability to inflow or outflow the substances during the fermentation process. This follows in the simple construction and maintenance, which is the significant advantage of batch bioreactors. Unfortunately, this characteristic also results in the inability of the current industrial and laboratory batch bioreactors to control fermentation production during the process duration. In some recent studies, it was shown that changing the temperature could influence the execution of the fermentation process. The presented paper shows that this phenomenon could be used to develop the closed-loop control system for the fermentation production control in batch bioreactors. First, based on theoretical work, experiments, and numerical methods, the appropriate structure of the mathematical model was determined and parameters were identified. Next, the closed-loop control system structure for batch bioreactor was proposed, and the linear and adaptive control system based on this structure and the derived and identified model were developed. Both modeling and adaptive control system design are new and represent original contributions. As expected, due to the non-linearity of the controlled plant, the adaptive control represents a more successful approach. The simulation and experimental results were used to confirm the applicability of the proposed solution.

SummaryThe fundamentals of an approach to solving the control task of robots interaction with a dynamic environment based on the stability of a closed-loop control system are given in this paper. The task is set and solved in its general form. The traditional control concept of compliant robot motion—the hybrid position/force control is discussed. In the paper the proposed control laws ensure simultaneous stabilization of both the desired robot motion and the desired interaction force, as well as their required quality of transient responses. In order to emphasize the fundamental point of this approach in controlling the contact tasks in robotics, the authors have assumed ideal parameters of interacting dynamic systems. The proposed control procedure is demonstrated by one simple example.

This paper proposes a linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) scheme for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with external disturbances based on adaptive control to address the attitude control problem. Firstly, the dynamic model of the quadrotor is established, and LADRC is used to control the altitude, yaw angle, pitch angle and roll angle of the quadrotor UAV affected by external disturbances, which enhances the anti-disturbance ability of the system. In addition, adaptive control is introduced to solve the problem of difficult parameter tuning in LADRC. Then, the stability of the system is demonstrated by Lyapunov theory. Finally, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme under external disturbances.
