~~ This paper focuses on the problem of controlling DC-to-DC switched power converters of Buck type. The system nonlinear feature is coped with by resorting to the backstepping control approach. Both adaptive and nonadaptive versions are designed and shown to yield quite interesting tracking and robustness performances. A comparison study shows that backstepping nonlinear controllers perform as...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy backstepping controller has been developed for the position tracking control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate unknown nonlinearities appearing in the control law and an adaptive backstepping technique is employed to construct controller. To illustrate the performance of the proposed controller comp...

In this paper, we present a backstepping based fuzzy logic (FL) scheme for the active control of vehicle suspension systems using the two-degrees of freedom or 1/4 car model. The full dynamics of a novel hydraulic strut are considered. The servo-valve dynamics are also included. A fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the nonlinear hydraulic strut dynamics. The backstepping fuzzy logic scheme ...

This paper presents a modified structure of the backstepping nonlinear control of the induction motor (IM) fitted with an adaptive backstepping speed observer. The control design is based on the backstepping technique complemented by the introduction of integral tracking errors action to improve its robustness. Unlike other research performed on backstepping control with integral action, the co...

Adaptive control is essential and effective for reliable quadrotor operations in the presence of uncertain modeling parameters unknown time-delayed inputs. This paper presents an original radial basis function neural network-based adaptive fractional-order backstepping controller (RBF-ADFOBC). The nonlinearity inputs eliminated by introducing augmented state variable via Pade’s approximation me...

Development of a cascade controller structure including adaptive backstepping for a nonlinear hydraulic-mechanical system is considered in this paper where a dynamic friction (LuGre) model is included to obtain the necessary accuracy. The paper compares the performance of two variants of an adaptive backstepping tracking controller with earlier results. The new control architecture is analysed ...

We propose a novel unified passivity-based adaptive backstepping control framework for ‘‘mixed’’ quadrotor-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which consists of the translation dynamics with thrust force input λ ∈ R and the attitude kinematics with the angular velocity input w ∈ R3 evolving on SE(3). We also show how our proposed unified framework can be used for velocity field following, tim...

A robust adaptive control approach is proposed for underactuated surface ship linear path-tracking control system based on the backstepping control method and Lyapunov stability theory. By employing T-S fuzzy system to approximate nonlinear uncertainties of the control system, the proposed scheme is developed by combining “dynamic surface control” (DSC) and “minimal learning parameter” (MLP) te...

This article focuses on a finite-time adaptive dynamic surface control (DSC) approach for kind of nonstrict fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONSs) with input delay. An auxiliary compensation function is presented by using the integral signal to handle delay problem. To overcome problem inherent computational complexity, filter applied virtual controller and its derivative in each step backs...

During the last decade a considerable progress has been made in the design of stabilizing controllers for nonlinear systems with known and unknown constant parameters. New design tools such as adaptive feedback linearization, adaptive backstepping, control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) and robust control Lyapunov functions (RCLFs), nonlinear damping and switching adaptive control have been introduc...
