Abstract
An adaptive robust control scheme for a cooperative transport system is proposed to tackle the challenges arising from parameter uncertainty, external interference, measurement errors, and other factors. The cooperative transport system consists of a leader automated ground vehicle, a baggage carrier, and a follower automated ground vehicle. Firstly, a mechanics-based independent dynamic model without constraints is established for each component within the system, and the coupling relationship between components is analyzed to design the constraint function. Secondly, to address inaccuracies in initial conditions, the trajectory errors in both their zero- and first-order forms are introduced. A closed-form dynamic model that is subject to constraints is then developed for the entire cooperative system, incorporating both structural and performance constraints. Thirdly, an innovative adaptive robust control scheme is introduced for mechanical systems facing uncertainty. An adaptive law is devised to estimate the bounds of uncertainty. The control is deterministic and can be mathematically expressed in a closed-form. Fourthly, a constrained optimization problem is formulated using the fuzzy information of uncertainty to choose an appropriate optimal gain of the adaptive law. This is achieved by minimizing the combination of average fuzzy system performance and control effort. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed control method. The performance of controlled cooperative transport system is both deterministically guaranteed and fuzzily optimized.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematical Modelling focuses on research related to the mathematical modelling of engineering and environmental processes, manufacturing, and industrial systems. A significant emerging area of research activity involves multiphysics processes, and contributions in this area are particularly encouraged.
This influential publication covers a wide spectrum of subjects including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, and transport phenomena; solid mechanics and mechanics of metals; electromagnets and MHD; reliability modelling and system optimization; finite volume, finite element, and boundary element procedures; modelling of inventory, industrial, manufacturing and logistics systems for viable decision making; civil engineering systems and structures; mineral and energy resources; relevant software engineering issues associated with CAD and CAE; and materials and metallurgical engineering.
Applied Mathematical Modelling is primarily interested in papers developing increased insights into real-world problems through novel mathematical modelling, novel applications or a combination of these. Papers employing existing numerical techniques must demonstrate sufficient novelty in the solution of practical problems. Papers on fuzzy logic in decision-making or purely financial mathematics are normally not considered. Research on fractional differential equations, bifurcation, and numerical methods needs to include practical examples. Population dynamics must solve realistic scenarios. Papers in the area of logistics and business modelling should demonstrate meaningful managerial insight. Submissions with no real-world application will not be considered.
