Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Adaptive fault-tolerant control (AFTC) of uncertain linear or nonlinear systems has received a great deal of attention in recent years due to its theoretical and practical importance, as well as widespread applications in many fields such as aerospace, high-speed trains, surgical robots, power systems, etc. However, when actuators are subject to some nonlinear constraints, e.g., saturation, dead zone, backlash, and hysteresis, a systematic design and analysis framework for the AFTC of uncertain systems has not been established, in particular for nonlinear systems without canonical form as well as multivariable systems; as a result, new challenging problems will arise, all of which concern the fusion of the adaptive actuator failure compensation strategy and inversion methodology, the development of robust adaptive techniques to accommodate actuator failures and nonlinearities simultaneously, and so on. This Special Issue is expected to present a complete AFTC framework for uncertain systems with actuator nonlinearities.

This Special Issue will include, but is not limited to, the following topics relevant to AFTC:

  • AFTC for linear or nonlinear systems;
  • Intelligent AFTC;
  • Optimal AFTC;
  • Robust AFTC;
  • Adaptive inverse control;
  • Reliability analysis;
  • Networked control systems;
  • Multi-agent systems;
  • Power systems;
  • Industrial robots or mobile robots.

This work focuses on the consensus problem for multi-agent systems (MASs) with actuator failures and time-varying state constraints, and presents a fixed-time self-triggered consensus control protocol. The use of time-varying asymmetrical barrier Lyapunov functions (BLF) avoids the violation of time-varying state constraints in MASs, ensuring stability and safety. Meanwhile, the system’s performance is further enhanced by leveraging the proposed adaptive neural networks (NNs) control method to mitigate the effects of actuator failures and nonlinear disturbances. Moreover, a self-triggered mechanism based on a fixed-time strategy is proposed to reach rapid convergence and conserve bandwidth resources in MASs. The mechanism achieves consensus within a predefined fixed time, irrespective of the system’s initial states, while conserving communication resources. Finally, the proposed method’s effectiveness is confirmed through two simulation examples, encompassing diverse actuator failure scenarios. Full article

To describe the hysteresis nonlinearities in smart actuators, numerous models have been presented in the literature, among which the Preisach operator is the most effective due to its capability to capture multi-loop or sophisticated hysteresis curves. When such an operator is coupled with uncertain nonlinear dynamics, especially in noncanonical form, it is a challenging problem to develop techniques to cancel out the hysteresis effects and, at the same time, achieve asymptotic tracking performance. To address this problem, in this paper, we investigate the problem of iterative inverse-based adaptive control for uncertain noncanonical nonlinear systems with unknown input Preisach hysteresis, and a new adaptive version of the closest-match algorithm is proposed to compensate for the Preisach hysteresis. With our scheme, the stability and convergence of the closed-loop system can be established. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is illustrated through simulation and experimental results. Full article
