Tracking Control of Wheeled Mobile Robots with Communication Delay and Data Loss

This paper considers the tracking control problem of a wheeled mobile robot under situation of communication delay and consecutive data packet dropouts in the feedback channel. A tracking controller in discrete-time domain for the case of ideal network condition is first derived, and then the networked predictive controller as well as two algorithms for dealing with communication delay and consecutive data packet dropouts are proposed. Simulation and experimental results verify the realizability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.     

A Novel Networked Predictive Control Method for Systems with Random Communication Constraints

This paper presents a novel observer-based predictive control method for networked systems where random network-induced delays, packet disorders and packet dropouts in both feedback and forward channels are considered. The proposed method has three significant features: i) A concept of destination-based lumped(DBL) delay is introduced to represent the combined effects of random communication constraints in each channel; ii) in view of different natures of the random DBL delays in the feedback and forward channels, different compensation schemes are designed; and iii) it is actual control inputs rather than predicted ones that are employed to generate future control signals based on the latest system state estimate available in the controller. For the resulting closed-loop system, a necessary and sufficient stability condition is derived, which is less conservative and also independent of random communication constraints in both channels. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fault Detection for Uncertain Delta Operator Systems with Two-Channel Packet Dropouts via a Switched Systems Approach

This paper utilizes a switched systems approach to deal with the problem of fault detection(FD) for uncertain delta operator networked control systems(NCSs) with packet dropouts and timevarying delays. Uncertainties exist in the matrices of the systems and are norm-bounded time-varying.Two parts of packet dropouts are considered in this paper: From sensors to controllers, and from controllers to actuators. Two independent Bernoulli distributed white sequences are introduced to account for packet dropouts. Then an FD filter is designed under an arbitrary switching law. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions for the NCSs under consideration that are exponentially stable in the mean-square sense and satisfy H∞ performance are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), multiple Lyapunov functions(MLF) and average dwell-time(ADT) approach. The explicit expression of the desired filter parameters is given. Finally, a numerical example verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fault detection for networked systems subject to access constraints and packet dropouts

This paper addresses the problem of fault detection(FD) for networked systems with access constraints and packet dropouts.Two independent Markov chains are used to describe the sequences of channels which are available for communication at an instant and the packet dropout process,respectively.Performance indexes H∞ and H_ are introduced to describe the robustness of residual against external disturbances and sensitivity of residual to faults,respectively.By using a mode-dependent fault detection filter(FDF) as residual generator,the addressed FD problem is converted into an auxiliary filter design problem with the above index constraints.A sufficient condition for the existence of the FDF is derived in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities(LMIs).When these LMIs are feasible,the explicit expression of the desired FDF can also be characterized.A numerical example is exploited to show the usefulness of the proposed results.

Predictive Event-Triggered Control for Disturbanced Wireless Networked Control Systems

The control and scheduling for wireless networked control system with packet dropout and disturbance are investigated. A prediction based event triggered control is proposed to reduce data transmissions while preserving the robustness against external disturbance. First, a trigger threshold is especially designed to maintain the difference of the estimated and actual states below a proper boundary when system suffers from packet dropout. Then a predictive controller is designed to compensate for packet dropouts by utilizing the packet-based control approach. The sufficient conditions to ensure the closed-loop system being uniformly ultimately bounded are derived, with consequently the controller gain method. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Networked Learning Predictive Control of Nonlinear Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems integrate computing, network and physical environments to make the systems more efficient and cooperative, and have important and extensive application prospects, such as the Internet of things. This paper studies the control problem of nonlinear cyber-physical systems with unknown dynamics and communication delays. A networked learning predictive control scheme is proposed for unknown nonlinear cyber-physical systems. This scheme recursively learns unknown system dynamics, actively compensates for communication delays and accurately tracks a desired reference. Learning multi-step predictors are presented to predict various step ahead outputs of the unknown nonlinear cyber-physical systems. The optimal design of controllers minimises a performance cost function which measures the tracking error predictions and control input increment predictions. The system analysis leads to the stability criteria of closed-loop nonlinear cyber-physical systems employing the networked learning predictive control scheme. An example illustrates the outcomes of the proposed scheme.

     

Quantized dynamic output feedback control for networked control systems

The problem of the quantized dynamic output feedback controller design for networked control systems is mainly discussed. By using the quantized information of the system measurement output and the control input, a novel networked control system model is described. This model includes many networkinduced features, such as multi-rate sampled-data, quantized signal, time-varying delay and packet dropout. By constructing suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a less conservative stabilization criterion is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The quantized control strategy involves the updating values of the quantizer parameters μi(i = 1, 2)(μi take on countable sets of values which dependent on the information of the system measurement outputs and the control inputs). Furthermore, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Mean-Square Stabilization of Networked Sampled-Data Systems with Packet Losses: Critical Sampling Intervals

This paper studies the stabilizing problem of networked sampled-data linear systems with independent and identically distribution (i.i.d.) packet dropouts. First of all, for the sampled-data system without packet losses, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the critical sampling intervals are given to ensure the mean square stability where zero order holder and generalized holder are adopted, respectively. Secondly, for the sampled-data system with i.i.d. packet losses, necessary and sufficient conditions for the critical sampling intervals are given to ensure the mean square stability where the zero order holder control is adopted. The random sampling framework is used to examine the case that the value of the control signal is not zero when the packet loss occurs, but the value of the previous control signal when the data packet is not lost. For the sampled-data system with i.i.d. packet losses, the range of the sampling interval is given to ensure the mean square stability where the generalized holder control is adopted. Some numerical simulations are provided to validate the theoretical results.
