Therefore, this paper proposes a fractional-order tilted integral derivative (TID) controller design for stable and unstable fractional-order processes with time delay, where the optimal controller parameters are designed using a deterministic approach. An inner loop controller is designed using stability analysis and a graphical approach for unstable fractional-order time delay processes. The proposed approach offers flexibility and fine-tuning in designing the controller for a specific application. A systematic reference to the disturbance ratio is carried out to assess the disturbance handling capacity of the proposed controller. It shows the sensitivity of the designed controller against disturbances in the frequency spectrum graphically. Numerous performance indices and time-domain parameters are computed and compared with state-of-the-art techniques to analyze the efficacy. Furthermore, it is validated on the experimental setup of a four-tank system.

In the present paper, a hybrid control is presented based on dynamic and kinematic equations of motion for wheeled mobile robots in the presence of the sum of the external disturbances and parametric uncertainty. The designed control for the WMR utilizes control and guidance to reach the reference path. In many studies, a control strategy is normally employed for WMR. However, in this study, hybrid control was used for the mentioned purpose. Akin to other studies, the kinematic control scheme here was based on the predictive control, and the dynamic control scheme was designed based on the robust control. Therefore, in this article, having introduced the kinematic model, a nonlinear predictive control was proved and designed. In the next step, a finite-time integral type terminal sliding mode control (FITSMC) was designed based on the nonlinear dynamic model in order to automatically adjust the control gain and eliminate online disturbances and destructive chattering phenomena completely. In particular, a finite-time disturbance observer was designed to estimate the external disturbances. The proof of the new proposed control scheme was presented using Lyapunov stability theory and numerical results. The mentioned integrated scheme, including predictive control (outer loop) and nonlinear adaptive control (inner loop), ensures the convergence and optimal tracking performance of all signals, as a result of which the tracking errors can arbitrarily converge to the origin in a finite time. In the final step, the simulation results were presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme using MATLAB software, and the introduced control design was compared with a similar controller quantitatively and qualitatively.</p>","PeriodicalId":55453,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Control","volume":"27 3","pages":"1203-1223"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
