Variable Structure Controller for Surface Ship Steering

Variable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems

In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...

RBFNN Variable Structure Controller for MIMO System and Application to Ship Rudder/Fin Joint Control

Aiming at a class of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with uncertainty, a sliding mode control algorithm based on neural network disturbance observer is designed and applied to ship yaw and roll joint stabilization. The nonlinear disturbance observer is finished by radial basis function neural network and with that a terminal sliding mode control algorithm is proposed. The asymptoti...

Variable-structure PID controller for level process

A variable-structure (VS) PID controller for the level process is proposed. A methodology of analysis of its stability and performance is given. It is proposed that stability of the VS system can be approximately analyzed via the describing function method. The describing function of the VS PID controller is derived. It is shown that the system with the VS PID controller is quasi-linear. Tuning...
