This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a robust adaptive controller for flexible joint robots (FJR). Under the assumption of weak joint elasticity, FJR is firstly modeled and converted into singular perturbation form. The control law consists of a FAT-based adaptive control strategy and a simple correction term. The first term of the controller is used to stability of the slow dynamics, and the second term is used to damp out the elastic oscillations of the joints. The stability analysis is provided according to the Lyapunov direct method. Simulation results on a single-link FJR demonstrate suitable performance of the proposed control schemes.

Due to the ever-increasing price of fossil fuels and growing concerns about environmental pollution, the utilization of renewable resources, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, has witnessed significant growth. However, the lack of an optimal structure and control strategy for PV systems poses a crucial challenge in fully exploiting their potential capabilities. This article proposes a suitable structure and adaptive control strategy for PV systems, enabling the maximum utilization of PV system capabilities in island microgrids. The proposed control structure and strategy are based on a two-stage converter, facilitating maximum power point tracking in PV, injecting the generated PV power into the microgrid with minimal harmonic levels, and improving the power quality of the microgrid by compensating for harmonic components. In this method, the tasks of the DC/AC converter, including the injection of PV active power into the microgrid, provision of reactive power, and harmonic compensation, are prioritized and managed by considering the current peak limitation to prevent inverter overcurrent. Additionally, an adaptive controller is designed to enhance the accuracy and speed of power control. The proposed structure and strategy have been evaluated by simulating a sample microgrid in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method enables the PV system to operate at maximum power with minimum harmonic levels, leading to a significant improvement in the speed and accuracy of the control system and enhancing the power quality of the islanded microgrid.

Controlling systems in industrial processes are subject to problems such as the limitation of system signals, the uncertainties of parameters, the time delay and the failure of actuators. The design of the controller, which can satisfy the constraints, counteract and omit these effects, has attracted much attention.On the other hand, the issue of time delay is so serious and effective, which can make the system unstable and disrupt the process. Many of the devices in the systems, such as sensors and actuators, may be defective. The important thing is that any of the above or even system parameters may be uncertain. Identifying, estimating and fixing the destructive effects of the problems mentioned by the controller of the system.The proposed method of control for nonlinear systems in the presence of an uncertain parameters, delay and faults in actuators. There is no need to limit the parameters, delays, and fault of the actuators. This comparative method is capable of guaranteeing the overall boundary of all closed-loop system signals and the convergence of tracking errors to a small neighborhood around the origin.

In this paper, the compensation controller approach is investigated for uncertain nonlinear multi agent systems. The dynamics of each of the agents includes uncertainties. Meanwhile, the exchange of the information between the agents is done under directed and fixed graphs. In this design, nonlinear control method is used to design nonlinear backstepping controller. The systems uncertainties are approximated by using the adaptive control method. To overcome the unpredictable effects of faults occurrence in the considered system actuators, Defective adaptive compensation method is used without any knowing about the fault time, fault type and fault structure. Finally, with the introduction of the new Lyapunov functions and by using the graph theory, the stability of the closed loop system is proved. By presenting a simulated example, the efficiency of the control view presented for nonlinear multi agent systems is shown in the presence of unknown faults in actuators and unknown external disturbances.

The reference trajectory tracking is one of the most important issues in the field of tractor-trailer wheeled mobile robots control. In this paper, thetrajectory tracking control issues of a tractor-trailer wheeled mob­ile robot has been significantly solved in the presence of structural uncertainties,non-hol­o­­n­o­mic constraints and external disturbance. The proposed scheme is based on a design that the tractor-trailer’s state space representation is extracted from its dynamic and ki­n­­e­matic models and presented ina companion format first. In the following,by considering the state space representation of system, the control algorithm is presented includingtwo external and internal control loops. Toward this end, the control law has been developed in the inner loop via input-output feedback linearization in a nonlinear feedback formwh­i­­ch is continuously eliminating the nonlinear dynamics of the system. Then,by using a comb­ination of the output that is pr­o­duced in linearization steps with a terminal sliding mode control algorithm and sketching a neural robust ad­aptive finite time controller in the outer loop, the accurate and fast performance of the closed loop system has been guar­a­nteed in the presence of uncertainties. The proposed control algorithmfinally guarantees the boundedness of closed-loop signals and accurate finite time convergence of tracking errors. At the end, the effectiveness of the proposed sch­eme has been demo­nstrated and shown through the extended Lyapunov theorem and simulated by MATLAB application.

In this paper, the control problem is investigated for Jerk chaotic systems against unknown parameters, actuator faults and input saturation. The considered actuator fault covers both of the stuck faults and loss of effectiveness faults in actuators. The values, times and patterns of the considered faults are completely unknown. That is, during the system operation it is unknown when, by how much and which actuators fail. A robust adaptive controller is presented based on the backstepping design method to achieve complete synchronization of the identical Jerk chaotic systems. By introducing the new Lyapunov functions, it is proved that all the closed loop signals are bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. The proposed adaptive method compensates the actuator faults without any need for explicit fault detection. Simulation results represent that the designed controller can synchronize the identical chaotic systems in the presence of actuator fault, input saturation and unknown parameters.

This paper presents an adaptive state feedback control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown parameters, variable control gains and in the presence of unknown time varying actuator failures. The designed controller compensates unknown loss of effectiveness failures as well as unknown time varying stuck failures in actuators. The considered actuator failure can cover most failures that may occur in actuators of the practical systems. The proposed adaptive controller is constructed based on a backstepping design method. Appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are introduced to design new adaptive laws to compensate the unknown actuator failures and unknown parameters. The offered method ensures the asymptotic output tracking and the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals. The proposed design approach is employed for a wing rock control of an aircraft in the presence of time varying actuator failures. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed adaptive control method.

In this paper, the problem of the position and attitude tracking of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in the horizontal plane, under the presence of ocean current disturbances is discussed. The effect of the gradual variation of the parameters is taken into account. The effectiveness of the adaptive controller is compared with a feedback linearization method and fuzzy gain control approach. The proposed strategy has been tested through simulations. Also, the performance of the propos-ed method is compared with other strategies given in some other studies. The boundedness and asymptotic converge-nce properties of the control algorithm and its semi-global stability are analytically proven using Lyapunov stability theory and Barbalat’s lemma.

In the present research, design of a strong and online adaptive controller in the active cable control system is discussed to overcome the earthquake vibrations of multi-story buildings. Considering all variables as unknown, this study introduces a new type 2 adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller. Using the MLP neural network (multi-layer perceptrons), Jacobian and the structural system estimation are extracted. This estimated structural system model is implemented into the online controller system in the next step. Adaptive controllers are tuned using a post-propagation algorithm and Extended Kalman Filter and are thus able to control and tune the controllers and the cable system. In this method, a PID controller is also used, which increases the strength and stability of the adaptive neural-fuzzy controller system two against earthquake vibrations. The superiority of the proposed controller system over an online simple adaptive controller is also demonstrated. This controller is utilized as an implicit reference model. In this proposed method, Extended Kalman Filter is innovatively used to tune online controllers. In this research, the performance of both controllers is investigated under the far and near fault field pressures. Based on the numerical results, the adaptive neural-fuzzy controller performs about 21% better than the online simple adaptive controller in minimizing the seismic responses of the structure during an earthquake and reaching the control criteria when the parametric characteristics of the structure change.

In this paper, a strictly passive formulation has been developed to design a passive state-observer for both time-invariant and time-varying Lipschitz nonlinear systems. During this formulation, a convergence and strictly passive state-observer is provided to have passive closed-loop system. Some definitions and charts are defined here for time-invariant and time-varying systems in different scenarios. A new interconnection between passivity of subsystems and passivity/stability of the closed-loop system has been introduced from a different point of view. All definitions are organized based on the systematic method called “virtually Euler-Lagrange” form of passivation. Utilizing this form and theses definitions, make the design process simpler and straightforward, while, some conditions of design will be released due to using these definitions. The designed controller/observer has been applied to control the hepatitis B virus infection disease. The reliability of the proposed definitions are examined by using MATLAB/SIMULINK, while, the results demonstrate the ability and power of this novel approach.
