We propose a distributed formation control algorithm augmented with communication awareness. We consider autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that are able to communicate over an acoustic link using a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol, and to measure the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of incoming messages. Based on the measured SNR and packet loss, we endow them with a distributed formation control scheme that accounts for the time-varying nature of the acoustic communication channel. This scheme allows a network of AUVs to follow a pre-determined, twice-differentiable path while adapting their formation. The size of the formation is dynamically scaled by a formation adaptation mechanism to stabilize the estimated packet loss probability at a desired level. A distributed packet loss estimator is then built on top of the same average consensus routines used by the formation control algorithm, and thus comes with a minimal communication overhead. We test the algorithm by means of high-fidelity simulators, and verify its efficacy in making the network of agents retain formation-wide communication capabilities in a range of cases.
我们提出了一种具有通信意识的分布式编队控制算法。我们考虑的自主水下航行器(AUV)能够使用时分多址(TDMA)协议通过声学链路进行通信,并测量传入信息的信噪比(SNR)。根据测量到的信噪比和数据包丢失情况,我们为它们提供了一种考虑到声学通信信道时变特性的分布式编队控制方案。该方案允许由 N 个 AUV 组成的网络遵循预先确定的两次可变路径,同时调整其编队。编队规模由编队适应机制动态调整,以将估计的数据包丢失概率稳定在所需水平。然后,在编队控制算法使用的相同平均共识例程基础上建立分布式丢包率估算器,从而将通信开销降至最低。我们通过高保真模拟器对该算法进行了测试,并验证了它在一系列情况下保持整个代理网络通信能力的有效性。

The differentiation of noisy signals using the family of homogeneous differentiators is considered. It includes the high-gain (linear) as well as robust exact (discontinuous) differentiator. To characterize the effect of noise and disturbance on the differentiation estimation error, the generalized, homogeneous -gain is utilized. Analog to the classical -gain, it is not defined for the discontinuous case w.r.t. disturbances acting on the last channel. Thus, only continuous differentiators are addressed. The gain is estimated using a differential dissipation inequality, where a scaled Lyapunov function acts as storage function for the homogeneous supply rate. The fixed differentiator gains are scaled with a gain-scaling parameter similar to the high-gain differentiator. This paper shows the existence of an optimal scaling which minimizes the homogeneous -gain estimate and provides a procedure to obtain it locally. Differentiators of dimension two are considered and the results are illustrated via numerical evaluation and a simulation example.

In this paper, a new output feedback integral sliding model predictive control (OF-ISMPC) strategy is proposed for linear discrete-time systems when the states are unmeasured, which avoids the utilization of a state observer. The proposed OF-ISMPC can ensure strong robustness while at the same time achieving optimal performance of the controlled system. The role of the output feedback integral sliding mode control (OF-ISMC) is to compensate for any matched disturbances. The role of the output feedback robust model predictive control (OF-RMPC) is to solve the optimization problem with constraints. Moreover, the impact of unmatched disturbances on the system is reduced by defining the integral sliding surface as a function of an optimal projection matrix. The input-to-state practical stability for the closed-loop system is proved. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper focuses on designing an event-triggering mechanism aimed at reducing control updates while maintaining the stability of a saturated closed-loop system. It addresses the regional stabilization of linear systems under input saturation conditions from a data-driven perspective. To do so, we propose a systematic method to convert model-driven conditions into data-driven control design Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) conditions, enabling the co-design of the event-triggering rule and the state feedback gain. The theoretical contribution is then applied to the control of a spacecraft rendezvous problem.

This paper presents a referential adaptive asymptotic tracking control scheme for nonlinear multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) systems with time-varying full-state constraints and unknown hysteresis input. In order to achieve good asymptotic tracking effect, a zero-limit positive continuous function is introduced into the adaptive backstepping design process while thoroughly considering the impact of disturbance-like terms on the tracking effect. Additionally, a new variable is also imported to replace the reciprocal of unknown coefficient of the Bouc–Wen hysteresis model. Then, a new adaptive law about the new variable is added by combining the positive function, which can not only lessen the impact of the unknown hysteresis input on the tracking effect, but also avoid the “singularity” problem. Aiming at the time-varying full-state constraints, a appropriate time-varying log-type barrier Lyapunov function (TLBLF) is constructed to ensure that all the states of the system are restricted within the constraint scope. Finally, a significant adaptive asymptotic tracking scheme is designed based on multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) approximation technology. Apart from achieving high-precision asymptotic tracking performance, the proposed scheme ensures the boundedness of all signals of the closed-loop system without violating the full-state constraints. And, three simulations are given to verify the effectiveness of the scheme.

This paper delves into the investigation of finite-time consensus for second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with external disturbances under directed topology. The MASs considered in this study consist of followers and a leader, and the followers are subject to bounded disturbances. First, a continuous nonsingular integral terminal sliding mode is designed, which can effectively eliminate the singularity and chattering. Then, a finite-time disturbance observer is introduced to estimate and compensate for disturbances. Subsequently, an integral sliding mode adaptive controller is designed to enhance system’s robustness, improve response speed, and increase tracking accuracy. Furthermore, Lyapunov theory is utilized to demonstrate that the system achieves finite-time consensus under a directed connected topology. Finally, we apply a simulation to verify the efficacy of the proposed consensus control protocol.

In this paper, we focus on the control problem of mean square consensus for second-order continuous-time multi-agent systems with multiplicative noises under Markovian switching topologies. A new Lyapunov function based on the Laplacian matrix of the corresponding union topology of all possible topologies is designed for the stochastic stability analysis of consensus. Applying matrix theory and stochastic stability for stochastic differential equations, we can analyze the consensus problem of the considered systems with the designed Lyapunov function. In addition, we present the sufficient conditions of the mean square consensus exponentially for the considered stochastic systems. Finally, we give an simulation example to numerically validate our theoretical results.

For an unstable hybrid stochastic differential delay equation, this paper designs a feedback control based on discrete-time state observation to make the controlled system become almost sure exponential stability. In order to reveal the relationship between the two features contained in the system, namely, the dependence of duration between two consecutive observations on time-delay, the method of Lyapunov functional and auxiliary system are combined in this paper. It is shown that the underlying system possesses almost sure exponential stability for sufficiently small time-interval between two consecutive observations. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Finite-time stability (FTS) has garnered considerable attention within the realm of control theory as a subject of active research. The objective of this paper is to explore the FTS of switched systems by employing a novel approach that relies on the concept of average dwell time (ADT). The ADT serves as a metric for quantifying the average duration a system remains in a specific mode prior to transitioning to a different mode. In this context, a condition that establishes the sufficiency of achieving FTS for a switched system has been derived in terms of the ADT and the corresponding Lyapunov function. Numerical simulations have been conducted to assess the efficacy of the proposed approach. Achieving a stable state within a specific time frame is crucial in many practical applications to meet desired performance requirements. The outcomes of this study have the potential to advance the development of more effective and reliable control systems across various engineering domains, including robotics, power systems, and transportation systems, which are often modeled as switched systems.

This paper presents a comprehensive control framework tailored for achieving Prescribed Performance Control (PPC) in the context of complex nonlinear systems, addressing multifaceted challenges prevalent in control design. The focus is on a control scenario characterized by the simultaneous presence of nonlinearity, external disturbances, time delay, and unknown control direction—issues that pose considerable obstacles for existing solutions. To surmount these challenges, our proposed approach integrates well-established techniques, including neural networks, Nussbaum-type gains, and adaptive control strategies within a unified control design framework. The specific technical challenge addressed in this work involves the effective management of these intricate complexities in Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) systems. Our contributions extend the theoretical foundations, presenting an ideal PPC control design and introducing two adaptive neural network-based control methods capable of accommodating both known and unknown control directions. Utilizing Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, we showcase a unique integration that surpasses a mere combination of individual techniques. This work advances the theoretical underpinnings of control engineering tailored for real-world scenarios. The proposed controller’s efficacy is validated through rigorous simulations and compared with recent results and benchmark PPC controllers, establishing its superiority in addressing the intricacies of complex control scenarios.
