Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is a new interdisciplinary subject in artificial intelligence and control. ADP-based methods have effectively solved the control problems of large-scale complex nonlinear systems in the fields of transportation, logistics, power and process engineering, which has attracted the attention of many researchers. Therefore, this Special Issue intends to present new ideas and experimental results in the field of ADP and its control applications in intelligent systems.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Improved design and analysis of ADP framework and theory;
  • Combination of ADP and other control algorithms, such as fault-tolerant control, sliding mode control, adaptive control, fuzzy control, and robust control;
  • Realization of ADP control techniques based on neural networks, fuzzy logic, fuzzy neural networks, etc.;
  • ADP-based control techniques applied for unmanned systems, multi-agent systems, and complex nonlinear systems;
  • Distributed cooperative optimization based on ADP;
  • Data-based intelligent control based on ADP (reinforcement learning);
  • Multiobjective optimal control based on ADP.

In this paper, an event-triggered adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) method is proposed to deal with the H∞ problem with unknown dynamic and constrained input. Firstly, the H∞-constrained problem is regarded as the two-player zero-sum game with the nonquadratic value function. Secondly, we develop the event-triggered Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs(HJI) equation, and an event-triggered ADP method is proposed to solve the HJI equation, which is equivalent to solving the Nash saddle point of the zero-sum game. An event-based single-critic neural network (NN) is applied to obtain the optimal value function, which reduces the communication resource and computational cost of algorithm implementation. For the event-triggered control, a triggering condition with the level of disturbance attenuation is developed to limit the number of sampling states, and the condition avoids Zeno behavior by proving the existence of events with minimum triggering interval. It is proved theoretically that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and the critic NN weight error is uniformly ultimately boundedness (UUB). The learning performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by two examples. Full article

During a steering manoeuvre in a ground vehicle, both yaw motion and roll motion can occur simultaneously, and their dynamics can be coupled, as the roll motion is generalized directly from the tires’ lateral force under steering. Hence, it is of significance to analyze them as an integrated plant in the vehicle steering stability control problem. Furthermore, the actuator saturation of yaw control cannot be neglected, as vehicles often steer at a high velocity or on low-friction roads. In this paper, an integrated steering dynamics model is established considering the coupling between the roll motion and lateral motion, then a novel nonlinear adaptive controller is proposed to stabilize the steering motion considering the actuator saturation of yaw motion control. Simulation results indicate that the designed integrated controller is effective in improving the performance of both the yaw rate tracking error and ride comfort taking into account vehicle parameter uncertainties and actuator saturation; the steering stability of ground vehicles can consequently be guaranteed.
