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.

Exponential L_1 Filtering of Networked Linear Switched Systems: An Event-Triggered Approach

The issues of event-triggered exponential L_1 filtering are studied for a class of networked linear switched systems. An event-triggered mechanism is proposed to enhance resource utilization in transmission, and save the communication cost of systems as well. Then, the filtering error system is reconstructed as a switched delay system with bounded disturbance through the input delay system approach. By resorting to the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach and the average dwell time(ADT) technique, some interesting results are derived to guarantee the exponential stability with a prescribed L_1 disturbance rejection level. Further, an event-triggered exponential L_1 filter is designed via solving a set of feasible linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). Finally, the efficiency of the proposed results is verified through a numerical example and a PWM-driven boost converter circuit system.     

Event-Triggered Sampled-Data Consensus of Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems with Control Input Losses

This paper investigates the leader-following consensus problem for multi-agent systems with event-triggered mechanism and control packet losses. Based on the local synchronization error, event-triggered mechanisms are proposed in order to reduce the number of controller update. The control packet may lose due to unreliability of communication channel. With the assumption that once the packet loss happens the controller will be set to zero, sufficient consensus criteria for multi-agent system with event-triggered mechanism and control packet losses is obtained. It is also shown that the interplay among the allowable packet loss rate, event-triggered mechanism and sampling period. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Stabilization of Discrete-Time Dynamical Systems Under Event-Triggered Impulsive Control with and Without Time-Delays

This paper investigates the issue of stabilization for discrete-time dynamical systems (DDS) by event-triggered impulsive control (ETIC). Based on some relatively simple threshold constants, three levels of event conditions are set and thus the ETIC scheme is designed. Three cases for ETIC with and without time-delays and data dropouts are studied respectively, and the criteria on exponential stability are derived for the controlled DDS. The stabilization in the form of exponential stability is achieved for DDS under the designed ETIC with or without time-delays. And in the case of the ETIC data dropouts, the conditions of exponential stabilization are derived for DDS and the maximal allowable dropout rates for ETIC are estimated. Finally, one example with numerical simulations is worked out for illustration.

Distributed Event-Triggered Tracking Control of Heterogeneous Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Systems with Unknown Parameters

In this paper, a novel design framework is developed to solve the cooperative tracking problem of heterogeneous discrete-time multi-agent systems with unknown agent parameters and directed communication topologies. First, a distributed event-triggered observer is developed to handle the heterogeneity of the multi-agent systems. An event-triggering mechanism is proposed to reduce the amount of data transmission between neighboring agents. Then, based on the proposed observer, a discrete-time distributed model reference adaptive controller is presented to deal with the unknown parameters of the multi-agent systems. It is shown that by using the proposed observer and the model reference adaptive controller, the proposed design framework could achieve output tracking of the unknown multi-agent systems for any communication graph containing a directed spanning tree. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Data-Driven Leader-Follower Output Synchronization for Networked Non-Linear Multi-Agent Systems with Switching Topology and Time-Varying Delays

This paper studies the output synchronization problem for a class of networked non-linear multi-agent systems with switching topology and time-varying delays. To synchronize the outputs, a leader is introduced whose connectivity to the followers varies with time, and a novel data-driven consensus protocol based on model free adaptive control is proposed, where the reference input of each follower is designed to be the time-varying average of the neighboring agents’ outputs. Both the case when the leader is with a prescribed reference input and the case otherwise are considered. The proposed protocol allows for time-varying delays, switching topology, and does not use the agent structure or the dynamics information implicitly or explicitly. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the closed-loop stability, and conditions for consensus convergence are obtained, where only a joint spanning tree is required. Numerical simulations and practical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.     

Event-Triggered L1-Gain Control of Nonlinear Positive Switched Systems

This paper is concerned with the event-triggered L_1-gain control of a class of nonlinear positive switched systems. First, an event-triggering condition in the form of 1-norm is presented for the systems. By virtue of the event-triggering strategy, the original system is transformed into an interval uncertain system. An event-triggered L_1-gain controller is designed by decomposing the controller gain matrix into the sum of nonnegative and non-positive components. Under the design controller, the resulting closed-loop systems are positive and L_1-gain stable. The obtained approach is developed for the systems subject to input saturation. All presented conditions are solvable in terms of linear programming. Finally, two examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the design.     

Bipartite Consensus of Linear Multi-Agent Systems by Distributed Event-Triggered Control

For multi-agent systems with competitive and collaborative relationships, signed graph can more intuitively express the characteristics of their interactive networks. In this paper, the bipartite consensus is investigated for multi-agent systems with structurally balanced signed graph. In order to reduce actuation burden in dynamical network environment, the event-triggering strategy is applied to bipartite consensus protocol for the multi-agent systems. The triggered condition for each agent is designed by using its own information and transmitted information of its neighbors at sampling instant and make the number of triggers of the whole systems be reduced. Based on the distributed eventtriggered control, some sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the leaderless and leader-following bipartite consensus. Finally, some numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
