This strategy is applied to 3-DOF pla- nar manipulators in order to obtain synchronization in such complicated as chaotic motions of end-effectors. A chaotic curve is selected from Duffing equation as the trajectory of master end-effector and a piecewise approximation method is proposed to accurately represent this chaotic trajectory of end-effectors. The dynamical equations of master-slave manipulators with synchronization controller are derived, and the Lyapunov stability theory is used to determine the stability of this controlled synchronization system. In numer- ical experiments, the synchronous motions of end-effectors as well as three joint angles and torques of master-slave manipulators are studied under the control of the proposed synchronization strategy. It is found that the positive gain matrix affects the implementation of synchronization con- trol strategy. This synchronization control strategy proves the synchronization＇s feasibility and controllability for com- plicated motions generated by master-slave manipulators.展开更多

文摘This paper addresses a master-slave synchro- nization strategy for complex dynamic systems based on feedback control. This strategy is applied to 3-DOF pla- nar manipulators in order to obtain synchronization in such complicated as chaotic motions of end-effectors. A chaotic curve is selected from Duffing equation as the trajectory of master end-effector and a piecewise approximation method is proposed to accurately represent this chaotic trajectory of end-effectors. The dynamical equations of master-slave manipulators with synchronization controller are derived, and the Lyapunov stability theory is used to determine the stability of this controlled synchronization system. In numer- ical experiments, the synchronous motions of end-effectors as well as three joint angles and torques of master-slave manipulators are studied under the control of the proposed synchronization strategy. It is found that the positive gain matrix affects the implementation of synchronization con- trol strategy. This synchronization control strategy proves the synchronization＇s feasibility and controllability for com- plicated motions generated by master-slave manipulators.

文摘Steady speed control of agricultural machinery can improve operating quality and efficiency.To address the impact of farmland slope variations on the speed stability of unmanned operation agricultural machinery,a hybrid control method was proposed.This method included a hybrid controller composed of a slope-based controller and a proportional-integral-derivative(PID)controller.The speed of agricultural machinery was influenced by longitudinal forces,which were divided into two parts:one part was slope-related forces and conventional resistance,and the other was hard-to-estimate forces,such as sliding friction.For the first part,a slope-based controller was designed;for the second part,a PID controller was implemented.By combining these two controllers,the system can dynamically adjust the throttle opening and the brake master cylinder pressure,ensuring steady speed travel on sloping farmland.Simulation tests at a target speed of 7 km/h demonstrated that the proposed controller maintained a stable speed,achieving a root mean square error of 0.13 km/h and a mean absolute percentage error of 1.6%.Field tests on a practical experimental platform validated the method’s effectiveness,with results showing consistent control performance across varying slope conditions.The proposed controller demonstrated superior control performance.Experimental data verified that this method can achieve precise control of the agricultural machinery’s movement speed,meeting the stability requirements for agricultural operations.
文摘This study investigates prescribed-time position tracking control for electromagnetic satellite formations subject to model uncertainties and external disturbances.Using the Clohessy-Wiltshire equations as the relative motion dynamics model,a prescribed time output feedback control strategy is proposed.A prescribed-time extended state observer is designed to estimate the relative velocity and external disturbances.The disturbance estimates are then used as the feedforward component of the controller.Building on this framework,a novel prescribed-time active disturbance rejection control strategy for position tracking is developed via a backstepping control design.The convergence of the extended state observer and the stability of the closed-loop system are rigorously analyzed using Lyapunov stability theory.Numerical simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

文摘This article investigates the robust current tracking control problem of three-phase grid-connected inverters with LCL filter under external disturbance by a dynamic state feedback control method.First,this paper constructs an internal model to learn the information of the states and input of the grid-connected inverter under steady state.Second,by utilizing the internal model principle,the paper turns the tracking control problem into the robust stabilization control problem based on some appropriate coordinate transformations.Then,The paper designs a dynamics state feedback control law to deal with this robust stabilization problem,and thus the solution of the robust current tracking control problem of three-phase grid-connected inverters can be obtained.This control method can ensure the asymptotic stability of the closedloop system.Finally,the paper illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed control approach through several groups of simulations,and compares it with the feedforward control method to verify the robustness of the proposed control method to uncertain parameters.
文摘Aiming to solve the steering instability and hysteresis of agricultural robots in the process of movement,a fusion PID control method of particle swarm optimization(PSO)and genetic algorithm(GA)was proposed.The fusion algorithm took advantage of the fast optimization ability of PSO to optimize the population screening link of GA.The Simulink simulation results showed that the convergence of the fitness function of the fusion algorithm was accelerated,the system response adjustment time was reduced,and the overshoot was almost zero.Then the algorithm was applied to the steering test of agricultural robot in various scenes.After modeling the steering system of agricultural robot,the steering test results in the unloaded suspended state showed that the PID control based on fusion algorithm reduced the rise time,response adjustment time and overshoot of the system,and improved the response speed and stability of the system,compared with the artificial trial and error PID control and the PID control based on GA.The actual road steering test results showed that the PID control response rise time based on the fusion algorithm was the shortest,about 4.43 s.When the target pulse number was set to 100,the actual mean value in the steady-state regulation stage was about 102.9,which was the closest to the target value among the three control methods,and the overshoot was reduced at the same time.The steering test results under various scene states showed that the PID control based on the proposed fusion algorithm had good anti-interference ability,it can adapt to the changes of environment and load and improve the performance of the control system.It was effective in the steering control of agricultural robot.This method can provide a reference for the precise steering control of other robots.

文摘To solve the problem of in-flight actuator faults and parameter uncertainties for multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs),and reduce the communication and computational resource consumption of multiple UAVs,a Fraction-Order(FO)sliding-mode Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control(FTCC)strategy is proposed for multiple UAVs based on Event-Triggered Communication Mechanism(ET-COM-M)and Event-Triggered Control Mechanism(ET-CON-M).First,by considering the limited communication bandwidth of multiple UAVs in formation,an ET-COM-M is designed to significantly reduce communication times.Then,a distributed observer is skillfully constructed to estimate the reference signals for follower UAVs.Moreover,the adaptive strategy is incorporated into the Radial Basis Function Neural Network(RBFNN)to learn the lumped unknown terms for handling bias actuator faults and parameter uncertainties.Besides,the Nussbaum method is used to deal with the loss-of-effectiveness faults.To further achieve the refined control performance against faults,FO calculus is artfully integrated into the sliding-mode control protocol with ET-CON-M.Finally,Zeno behavior is excluded by rigorous theoretical analysis and Lyapunov stability is proved to show the effectiveness of the designed FTCC strategy.Simulation results show that the designed FTCC strategy with Event-Triggered Mechanism(ETM)can guarantee the safety of multiple UAVs and simultaneously reduce the communication and control frequencies,making the developed control scheme applicable in engineering.

文摘This paper presents an adaptive formation control method for a heterogeneous robot swarm,utilising a multilevel formation task tree to model various types of formation tasks and a single-state distributed k-winner-take-all(S-DKWTA)algorithm to address the MRTA problem.In addition,we propose an enhanced load reassignment algorithm to resolve conflicts when using S-DKWTA.The S-DKWTA algorithm demonstrates the capability to manage multiple objectives and dynamically select leaders in real-time,thereby optimising formation efficiency and reducing energy consumption.The proposed approach integrates an enhanced artificial potential field(APF)to govern the motion of heterogeneous robot systems which encompasses both unmanned ground vehicles(UGVs)and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),thereby achieving collision and obstacle avoidance.Simulations employing UGVs and UAVs swarm to achieve formation movement demonstrate the efficacy of this approach.The amalgamation of S-DKWTA and improved APF ensures stable and adaptable formation control,underscoring its potential for diverse multirobot applications.
