Coordinated Control of a Tractor-Trailer and a Combine Harvester by Neural Adaptive Robust Control
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, the coordinated control problem of a tractor-trailer and a combine harvester is taken into account in the presence of model uncertainties by using the leader-following approach to track a reference trajectory for the first time. At first, a second-order leader-follower dynamic model is developed in Euler-Lagrange form which preserves all structural properties of the dynamic model. Then, the tractor-trailer is controlled to maintain a separation distance and a relative bearing angle with respect to the combine harvester. For this purpose, the controller is designed by using an adaptive robust neural network technique. In this control scheme, the parametric uncertainties such as masses, the moments of inertia and other physical parameters are estimated by a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and, then, nonparametric uncertainties such as unmodeled dynamics, friction and the slippage of wheels are compensated by the adaptive robust control term. Moreover, it will be shown that the controller makes the tracking errors converge to a small bound around the origin in the presence of uncertainties. The stability of the proposed controller is demonstrated by an analysis based on Lyapunov theory. Finally, the proposed control scheme is simulated by MATLAB software and its validity will be shown and it is compared with the backstepping controller.

Trailer Steering Control of a Tractor-Trailer Robot
In this paper, we consider active trailer steering control as a means to improve the maneuverability of (long) truck–trailer combinations during cornering. Hereto, we formulate the problem of reducing the so-called swept path width during cornering and that of eliminating unsafe tail swing of the trailer as a tracking control problem. We present a kinematic tractor–trailer model including off-a...

In this research, first, kinematic and dynamic equations of a 4-DOF 3-link robotic finger are derived using Denavit-Hartenberg convention and Lagrange’s formulation. To model the muscles, several springs and dampers are placed between the finger links. Then, two advanced controllers, namely adaptive-robust and adaptive-neural, which can control the robotic finger in presence of parametric uncer...

Studies have shown that feedback linearization can provide an effective controller for many types of nonlinear systems. It is known, however, that these controllers are not robust, in particular to model uncertainties as the feedback linearization process involves canceling of nonlinearities in the dynamics using an exact model which is seldom available. Although there are several strategies to...

In this paper, a robust tracking control method for automatic take-off and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor helicopter is presented. The designed controller includes two parts: a position controller and an attitude controller. The attitude controller is designed by using the sliding mode control (SMC) method to track the desired pitch and roll angles, which are the output of position controll...
