Enhancement of Robust Tracking Performance via Switching Supervisory Adaptive Control
Authors
Abstract:
When the process is highly uncertain, even linear minimum phase systems must sacrifice desirable feedback control benefits to avoid an excessive ‘cost of feedback’, while preserving the robust stability. In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the uncertainty region is suitably divided into smaller regions. It is assumed that a QFT controller-prefilter exits for robust stability and performance of the individual uncertain sets. The proposed control architecture is made up by these local controllers, which commute among themselves in accordance with the decision of a high level decision maker called the supervisor. The supervisor makes the decision by comparing the candidate local model behavior with the one of the plant and selects the controller corresponding to the best fitted model. A hysteresis switching logic is used to slow down switching for stability reasons. Besides, each controller is designed to be stable in the whole uncertainty domain, and as accurate in command tracking as desired in its uncertainty subset to preserve the robust stability from any failure in the switching.

Adaptive Robust Control for Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous underwater Vehicles on Horizontal Plane
This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...
full textMinimum Switching Control for Adaptive Tracking†
The switching adaptive control method has been used for quite a few years to solve the adaptive stabilization and model reference adaptive control problems. However, a serious problem with the switching control method is that the number of “candidate” controllers can potentially be very large, especially for multi-input multi-output systems. In this paper, we consider a class of minimum-phase m...

This paper describes the robust performance of fuzzy supervisory control (FSC) approach for the seismic response control of cable-stayed bridges. FSC is a hybrid control method with the hierarchical structure of several sub-controllers and fuzzy supervisor. Each sub-controller is preliminarily designed to reduce the selected response of the structure only, and a fuzzy supervisor is introduced t...
full textNew Supervisory Control Using Control-relevant Switching
This paper presents a new supervisory control scheme, which is based on a control-relevant switching logic. Unlike most of the existing switching methods considering only estimator performance, the proposed scheme takes both estimator and controller performance into account. As an index to the controller performance, an iISS (integral-Input-to-State Stability) Lyapunov function is employed; it ...
