Adaptive event-triggered tracking control for strict-feedback nonlinear ODE cascaded n+1 coupled hyperbolic PDE systems.

This article investigates adaptive control problems for unknown second-order nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) via an event-triggered approach. An adaptive event-triggered consensus controller is given to second-order MAS with unknown nonlinear dynamics. We prove that the proposed consensus controller is free from Zeno behavior. Next, an adaptive event-triggered tracking controller is developed for leader-follower MAS with the leader having bounded nonzero control input. Both consensus and tracking controllers are fully distributed, which means that event-triggered controllers only use local cooperative information. Finally, an unknown second-order nonlinear MAS is used to verify the given event-triggered controllers.

Event-triggered adaptive optimal tracking control for nonlinear stochastic systems with dynamic state constraints

A new event-triggered adaptive tracking controller for nonlinear systems with unknown virtual control coefficients

This article addresses an event-triggered adaptive fuzzy tracking control problem for nonlinear systems with unknown control directions. To achieve the practical tracking, fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate unknown nonlinear function. Nussbaum functions are adopted to address the problem of the unknown control directions. The newly designed controller not only guarantees the tracking error that converges to an arbitrary small neighborhood near the zero but also reduces the communication burden from the controller to the actuator. Moreover, the feasibility of the proposed event-triggered mechanism is verified by excluding Zeno behavior. Finally, the simulation result proves the effectiveness of the designed control scheme.

In this article, the problem of event‐triggered adaptive asymptotic tracking control (ATC) for stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown control directions (UCDs) and full state constraints is concerned. It must be said that the controller design and system analysis is more complex and difficult since the existence of stochastic disturbances, UCDs and full state constraints simultaneously. By introducing the lower bound of the UCDs into the barrier Lyapunov functions, an event‐triggered adaptive MTN ATC scheme is proposed based on the boundary estimation method and a new event‐triggered control (ETC) strategy, which can achieve satisfactory asymptotic tracking performance and control performance of the system, while reduce the occupation of network resources. The simulation results not only verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, but also present different tracking performances between three ETC strategies for comparison, further confirming the superiority of the proposed ETC strategy in achieving asymptotic tracking performance.

This study proposes the time-/event-triggered adaptive neural control strategies for the asymptotic tracking problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with full-state constraints. First, we design a time-triggered strategy. The effect caused by the residuals of the estimation via radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs), and the reasonable upper bounds on the first derivative of the reference signal and the derivative of each virtual control, can be eliminated by designing appropriate adaptive laws and utilizing the basic properties of RBF NNs. Moreover, the construction of the barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) in this work ensures the compliance of the full-state constraints and also holds the asymptotic output tracking performance. Then, based on the time-triggered strategy, we further design a relative threshold event-triggered strategy. The proposed event-triggered adaptive neural controller can solve the main control objective of this work, that is: 1) the full-state constraint requirements of the system are not violated and 2) the output signal asymptotically tracks the reference signal. Compared with the traditional method, the event-triggered strategy can improve the utilization of communication channels and resources and has greater practical significance. Finally, an example of single-link robot under the proposed two strategies illustrates the validity of the constructed controllers.

Event-triggered robust cooperative output regulation for a class of linear multi-agent systems with an unknown exosystem

This article introduces an adaptive dynamic event-triggered technique for addressing the output tracking control problem of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with prescribed performance. First, a switching dynamic event-triggered mechanism (SDETM) is established to alleviate network burden and conserve computational resources. A notable aspect is the inclusion of asynchronous switching between the switching subsystems and controllers. Second, a state-dependent switching law ensuring a dwell-time constraint is designed, which avoids the frequent switching phenomenon within any finite time interval. Third, an SDETM and an adaptive dynamic event-triggered controller are developed to confine the output tracking error within predefined decaying boundaries, while ensuring that all the signals of the closed-loop switched system remain within bounded regions. Finally, the validity and applicability of the developed control scheme are demonstrated through a one-link manipulator example.

Trajectory tracking problem of autonomous vehicle under lane change is considered in this paper. To improve trajectory tracking performance in real scene, an adaptive tracking controller with finite time convergence performance is proposed to deal with the uncertain factors in the lane change scenario. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed adaptive finite time control strategy (AFTCS) are illustrated by the simulation comparison results with the conventional PID tracking controller.

<p>In contrast with most existing results concerning unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) wherein two-degree or only attitude/longitudinal dynamics are considered, this article proposes an event-triggered cooperative synchronization fault-tolerant control (FTC) methodology for multiple fixed-wing UAVs whose dynamics are six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) with twelf-state-variables subject to actuator faults, modeling uncertainties, and external disturbances. More precisely, an event-triggering mechanism is devised to determine the time instants of updating control signals, which reduces the signal transmission burden, while saving on system resources. The Zeno phenomenon is excluded in the sense of guaranteeing that the time between two consecutive switchings is lower bounded by a positive constant. The actuator faults as well as the network induced errors are handled via the bound estimation approach and some well-defined smooth functions. By strict Lyapunov arguments, all closed-loop signals are proved to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the synchronization tracking errors of speed and attitude converge to a residual set around origin whose size can be made arbitrarily small through selecting appropriate design parameters.</p>
