Using the neural network technique, a novel observer-based controller is introduced to address effects of signal transmission behaviors and unknown nonlinear dynamics. Through the application of stochastic analysis and Lyapunov stability, a joint framework is constructed for analyzing resultant system performance under the introduced controller.

In contrast to most existing performance based works where the stability is contingent on initial conditions and the maximum allowable steady-state tracking precision can only be guaranteed at some unknown (theoretically infinite) time, in this work the output of the system is ensured to synchronize with the desired trajectory with arbitrarily pre-assignable convergence rate and arbitrarily pre-specified precision within prescribed time, using output only with lower cost of sensing and communication. In addition, all the closed-loop signals are ensured to be globally uniformly bounded under the proposed control method.

Compared with first-order optimizers, a second-order optimizer has stronger ability in approaching a better solution when dealing with the non-convex optimization problems, thus obtaining better performance in extracting the latent factors (LFs) well representing the known information from high-dimensional and incomplete data. However, a traditional second-order optimizer are inefficient in exploiting the curvature information of an LF model due to its large number of parameters. In order to reduce the computational overhead, an inexact second-order method relying on the Hessian-free optimization is preferred. However, this method requires careful coordination of its components, which is time-consuming and impractical for real applications. To address the above issues, the DAS model leverages the curvature information with a Hessian-vector-incorporated inexact second-order optimizer and embeds it into a distributed, multi-phase, and multi-elitist learning particle swarm optimization (DM2PSO) framework for efficient hyper-parameters adaptation and performance gain. Experimental results demonstrate that the DAS model outperforms several state-of-the-art models in estimating missing data on several high-dimensional and incomplete datasets from real-world applications.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"11 11","pages":"2343-2345"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10551316","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142397460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes a deterministic learning-based advanced PID controller for robot manipulator systems with uncertainties. The introduction of neural networks (NNs) overcomes the upper limit of the traditional PID feedback mechanism's capability. The proposed control scheme not only guarantees system stability and tracking error convergence but also provides a simple way to choose the three parameters of PID by setting the proportional coefficients. Under the partial persistent excitation (PE) condition, the closed-loop system unknown dynamics of robot manipulator systems are accurately approximated by NNs. Based on the acquired knowledge from the stable control process, a learning PID controller is developed to further improve overall control performance, while overcoming the problem of repeated online weight updates.

However, when faced with a complex operation, the traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control may not meet requirements for high control performance. Model-based full-state-feedback control is an effective alternative, but the states of a hydraulic manipulator are not always available and reliable in practical applications, particularly the joint angular velocity measurement. Considering that it is not suitable to obtain the velocity signal directly from differentiating of position measurement, the low-pass filtering is commonly used, but it will definitely restrict the closed-loop band-width of the whole system. To avoid this problem and realize better control performance, this paper proposes a novel observer-based adaptive robust controller (obARC) for a multi-joint hydraulic manipulator subjected to both parametric uncertainties and the lack of accurate velocity measurement. Specifically, a nonlinear adaptive observer is first designed to handle the lack of velocity measurement with the consideration of parametric uncertainties. Then, the adaptive robust control is developed to compensate for the dynamic uncertainties, and the close-loop system robust stability is theoretically proved under the observation and control errors. Finally, comparative experiments are carried out to show that the designed controller can achieve a performance improvement over the traditional methods, specifically yielding better control accuracy owing to the closed-loop band-width breakthrough, which is limited by low-pass filtering in full-state-feedback control.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"11 5","pages":"1213-1226"},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140606033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An FFSR is located between the sensor and the remote filter to forward the measurement. In the successive relay, two cooperative relay nodes are adopted to forward the signals alternatively, thereby existing switching characteristics and inter-relay interferences (IRI). Since the filter-and-forward scheme is employed, the signal received by the relay is retransmitted after it passes through a linear filter, The objective of the paper is to concurrently design optimal recursive filters for FFSR and stochastic systems against switching characteristics and IRI of relays. First, a uniform measurement model is proposed by analyzing the transmission mechanism of FFSR. Then, novel filter structures with switching parameters are constructed for both FFSR and stochastic systems. With the help of the inductive method, filtering error covariances are presented in the form of coupled difference equations. Next, the desired filter gain matrices are further obtained by minimizing the trace of filtering error covariances. Moreover, the stability performance of the filtering algorithm is analyzed where the uniform bound is guaranteed on the filtering error covariance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed filtering method over FFSR is verified by a three-order resistance-inductance-capacitance circuit system.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"11 5","pages":"1202-1212"},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140606032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
