This paper presents a combined non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control method, aimed at resolving the frame control problem of roll-pitch seeker tracking high maneu-vering target. The sliding mode surface is structured around the principle of segmentation, which enables the control system’s rapid attainment of the zero point and ensure global fast conver-gence. The system’s state is more swiftly converged to the slid-ing mode surface through an improved adaptive fast dual power reaching law. Utilizing an extended state observer, the overall disturbance is both identified and compensated. The validation of the system’s stability and its convergence within a finite-time is grounded in Lyapunov’s stability criteria. The performance of the introduced control method is confirmed through roll-pitch seeker tracking control simulation. Data analysis reveals that newly proposed control technique significantly outperforms existing sliding mode control methods by rapidly converging the frame to the target angle, reduce the tracking error of the detec-tor for the target, and bolster tracking precision of the roll-pitch seeker huring disturbed conditions.展开更多

By incorporating general relativistic effects into complexity theory through a gravitational correction factor, we prove that problems can transition between complexity classes depending on the observer’s reference frame and local gravitational environment. This insight emerges from recognizing that the definition of polynomial time implicitly assumes a universal time metric, an assumption that breaks down in curved spacetime due to gravitational time dilation. We demonstrate the existence of gravitational phase transitions in problem complexity, where an NP-complete problem in one reference frame becomes polynomially solvable in another frame experiencing extreme gravitational time dilation. Through rigorous mathematical formulation, we establish a gravitationally modified complexity theory that extends classical complexity classes to incorporate observer-dependent effects, leading to a complete framework for understanding how computational complexity transforms across different spacetime reference frames. This finding parallels other self-referential insights in mathematics and physics, such as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and Einstein’s relativity, suggesting a deeper connection between computation, gravitation, and the nature of mathematical truth.展开更多

However, existing theoretical advancements face certain limitations: They either fail to address more complex nonlinear phenomena, rely on hard-to-verify assumptions, or encounter difficulties in solving system parameters.Consequently, this paper aims to address these challenges by investigating distributed observers for nonlinear systems through the full-measured canonical form(FMCF), which is inspired by full-measured system(FMS) theory. To begin with, this study addresses the fact that the FMCF can only be obtained through the observable canonical form(OCF) in existing FMS theories.The paper demonstrates that a class of nonlinear systems can directly obtain FMCF through state space equations, independent of OCF. Also, a general method for solving FMCF in such systems is provided. Furthermore, based on the FMCF, A distributed observer is developed for nonlinear systems under two scenarios: Lipschitz conditions and open-loop bounded conditions.The paper establishes their asymptotic omniscience and demonstrates that the designed distributed observer in this study has fewer design parameters and is more convenient to construct than existing approaches. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated through simulation results on Van der Pol oscillators and microgrid systems.展开更多

文摘This paper presents a robust finite-time visual servo control strategy for the tracking problem of omni-directional mobile manipulators(OMMs)subject to mismatched disturbances.First,the nonlinear kinematic model of visual servoing for OMMs with mismatched disturbances is explicitly presented to solve the whole-body inverse kinematic problem.Second,a sliding mode observer augmented with an integral terminal sliding mode controller is proposed to handle these uncertainties and ensure that the system converges to a small region around the equilibrium point.The boundary layer technique is employed to mitigate the chattering phenomenon.Furthermore,a strict finite-time Lyapunov stability analysis is conducted.An experimental comparison between the proposed algorithm and a traditional position-based visual servo controller is carried out,and the results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed control algorithm.
文摘This paper presents a novel active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)scheme based on a cascade connection of generalized proportional integral observers(GPIOs)with internal models designed to estimate both polynomial and resonant disturbances.In this estimator structure,referred to as Cascade GPIO(CGPIO),the total disturbance sensitivity is the product of the sensitivities at each cascade level.This approach improves system performance against both periodic and non-periodic disturbances and enhances robustness under frequency variations in harmonic components.Additionally,the decoupled nature of the estimator reduces the order of the GPIOs,thereby simplifying tuning and limiting observer gains.The proposed control scheme is supported by a frequency-domain analysis and is experimentally validated in the current control of a grid-connected converter subject to control gain uncertainties,harmonic distortion,frequency deviations,and measurement noise.Experimental results demonstrate that the CGPIO-based ADRC outperforms benchmark solutions,including proportional-integral(PI)and proportional-resonant(PR)controllers.
文摘This study offers an empirical comparison of the Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR)and Fractional Order LQR(FOLQR)controllers that were implemented on a two-degrees-offreedom(2-DOF)Quanser Aero 2 helicopter platform.It employs both full and reduced-order observer designs to facilitate trajectory monitoring and stabilisation.The Aero 2 platform is dynamically modelled using Euler-Lagrange equations to develop a multi-input multi-output(MIMO)system.This system comprises two inputs and four state equations.In collaboration with observers,the LQR and FOLQR controllers approximate states that are not directly measurable by utilising the system model and available data.This procedure effectively overcomes the practical limitations of sensors.The enhanced performance of FOLQR in terms of tracking precision and stability has been depicted from the experimental results,showing real-time execution on the Aero 2 platform.This paper provides rigorous insights into control engineering and advanced observer-based control design for underactuated systems.

文摘Automated valet parking systems based on parking automated guided vehicles(P-AGVs)are effective for improving parking convenience and increasing parking density.The ability of P-AGVs to move towards any position and attain any orientation simultaneously due to their mecanum wheels makes it convenient to transport vehicles in a parking lot.In this study,a nonlinear disturbance observer-based sliding mode controller for the trajectory tracking problem of a P-AGV is proposed.The kinematic and dynamic models for a P-AGV tracking trajectory are first analyzed in sequence and the influences of disturbing forces considered.Subsequently,a nonlinear disturbance observer(NDO)is designed to estimate the disturbing forces and torques generated by the caster wheels.Based on the designed NDO,a robust nonsingular terminal sliding-mode(NTSM)controller is used to track reference trajectories.The stabilities of the NDO and NDO-NTSM control systems are theoretically verified using their Lyapunov functions.Finally,simulations and experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.The experimental results show that the proposed NDO-NTSM controller can improve the trajectory tracking stability by 42-68%compared to a traditional NTSM controller.The NDO-based sliding mode controller for trajectory tracking proposed in this study can effectively reduce the impact of disturbances on trajectory tracking accuracy.

文摘In semiconductor precision packaging and other applications involving alignment of automated equipment,the nonlinear motion caused by structural characteristics and friction effects on torque-type rotating motion stages seriously affects output accuracy and stability.To solve this problem,the motion characteristics of a rotating stage and the mechanism by which friction nonlinearity influences accuracy are analyzed in detail.In addition,a compound control strategy based on a kinematic model and the Stribeck friction model is designed.A friction disturbance observer based on output position feedback is improved for simple parameter tuning.Finally,an experimental system is constructed to carry out validation tests,including identification of nonlinear characteristics and performance comparisons.The experimental results show that the linear tracking error of the torque-type rotating stage is less than 1.47µm after adoption of the proposed model-based composite control strategy,and the corresponding rotary angle deviation is less than 0.0153°.The linearity of output motion is increased to 97.59%and the error compensation effect is improved by 51.6%compared with the PID control method.The experimental results confirm that the analysis method adopted here and the proposed compensation strategy can effectively reduce frictional nonlinearity and improve motion accuracy.The proposed method can also be applied to other precision electromechanical systems.

文摘In order to enhance the dynamic control precision of inertial stabilization platform(ISP),a disturbance sliding mode observer(DSMO)is proposed in this paper suppressing disturbance torques inherent within the system.The control accuracy of ISP is fundamentally circumscribed by various disturbance torques in rotating shaft.Therefore,a dynamic model of ISP incorporating composite perturbations is established with regard to the stabilization of axis in the inertial reference frame.Subsequently,an online estimator for control loop uncertainties based on the sliding mode control algorithm is designed to estimate the aggregate disturbances of various parameters uncertainties and other unmodeled disturbances that cannot be accurately calibrated.Finally,the proposed DSMO is integrated into a classical proportional-integral-derivative(PID)control scheme,utilizing feedforward approach to compensate the composite disturbance in the control loop online.The effectiveness of the proposed disturbance observer is validated through simulation and hardware experimentation,demonstrating a significant improvement in the dynamic control performance and robustness of the classical PID controller extensively utilized in the field of engineering.

文摘This paper investigates the observer-based prescribed-time time-varying output formation-containment(PT-TV-OFC)control problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems in which the different agents have different state dimensions.The system comprises one tracking leader,multiple formation leaders,and followers,where two types of leaders are used to generate a reference trajectory for movement and achieve specific formation,respectively.Firstly,a prescribed-time dynamics observer is constructed for the formation leaders to estimate the tracking leader's dynamic model and state.On this basis,a prescribed-time control protocol is designed for the formation leaders to achieve time-varying output formation.Then,a prescribed-time convex hull observer is designed for the followers to estimate information regarding the convex hull formed by the formation leaders.Using the estimated convex hull information,a prescribed-time containment control protocol is designed to ensure the followers converge into the convex hull.Furthermore,using Lyapunov stability theory,the stability of systems is proved in detail,which implies that the heterogeneous multi-agent systems can achieve PT-TV-OFC control.Finally,numerical simulations validate the feasibility of the theoretical results.

文摘Accurate trajectory tracking in lower-limb exoskeletons is challenged by the nonlinear,time-varying dynamics of human-robot interaction,limited sensor availability,and unknown external disturbances.This study proposes a novel control strategy that combines flatness-based control with two cascaded observers:a high-gain observer to estimate unmeasured joint velocities,and a nonlinear disturbance observer to reconstruct external torque disturbances in real time.These estimates are integrated into the control law to enable robust,state-feedback-based trajectory tracking.The approach is validated through simulation scenarios involving partial state measurements and abrupt external torque perturbations,reflecting realistic rehabilitation conditions.Results confirm that the proposed method significantly enhances tracking accuracy and disturbance rejection capability,demonstrating its strong potential for reliable and adaptive rehabilitation assistance.

文摘This paper introduces an optimized backstepping control method for Flexible Airbreathing Hypersonic Vehicles(FAHVs).The approach incorporates nonlinear disturbance observation and reinforcement learning to address complex control challenges.The Minimal Learning Parameter(MLP)technique is applied to manage unknown nonlinear dynamics,significantly reducing the computational load usually associated with Neural Network(NN)weight updates.To improve the control system robustness,an MLP-based nonlinear disturbance observer is designed,which estimates lumped disturbances,including flexibility effects,model uncertainties,and external disruptions within the FAHVs.In parallel,the control strategy integrates reinforcement learning using an MLP-based actor-critic framework within the backstepping design to achieve both optimality and robustness.The actor performs control actions,while the critic assesses the optimal performance index function.To minimize this index function,an adaptive gradient descent method constructs both the actor and critic.Lyapunov analysis is employed to demonstrate that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded.Simulation results confirm that the proposed control strategy delivers high control performance,marked by improved accuracy and reduced energy consumption.
