Abstract:
The primary aims of this thesis, is to provide a body of knowledge on variable structure system theory and to apply the developed design concepts to control practical systems. It introduces the concept of a structure. The main aim in designing variable structure controllers, is to synthesize a variable structure system from two or more single structure systems, in such a way that the ensuing system out-performs its component structures. When a sliding mode is defined, the ensuing closed loop behaviour of the system is invariant to plant parameter changes and external disturbances. A variable structure controller was designed for a servo motor and successfully applied to the system. In practice, the phase plane representative point does not slide at infinite frequency with infinitesimal amplitude along the switching surface(s). Thus, the concept of a quasi-sliding regime was introduced. For high performance system specifications, the phase plane representative point could cycle about the origin. In some instances, sliding could be lost. For high speed applications, a novel design modification ensured that the system did not lose sliding. In addition, the controller could track a rapidly changing set point. Successful results support the developed theory.

Abstract:

The main contributions in this thesis are advances in parametric programming. The thesis is divided into three parts; theoretical advances, application areas and constrained control allocation. The first part deals with continuity properties and the structure of solutions to convex parametric quadratic and linear programs. The second part focuses on applications of parametric quadratic and linear programming in control theory. The third part deals with constrained control allocation and how parametric programming can be used to obtain explicit solutions to this problem.

Abstract:
Networked systems have attracted great interests from the control society during the last decade. Several issues rising from the recent research are addressed in this dissertation. Connectedness is one of the important conditions that enable distributed coordination in a networked system. Nonetheless, it has been assumed in most implementations, especially in continuous-time applications, until recently. A nonlinear weighting strategy is proposed in this dissertation to solve the connectedness preserving problem. Both rendezvous and formation problem are addressed in the context of homogeneous network. Controllability of heterogeneous networks is another issue which has been long omitted. This dissertation contributes a graph theoretical interpretation of controllability. Distributed sensor networks make up another important class of networked systems. A novel estimation strategy is proposed in this dissertation. The observability problem is raised in the context of our proposed distributed estimation strategy, and a graph theoretical interpretation is derived as well. The contributions of this dissertation are as follows: It solves the connectedness preserving problem for networked systems. Based on that, a formation process is proposed. For heterogeneous networks, the leader-follower structure is studied and sufficient and necessary conditions are presented for the system to be controllable. A novel estimation strategy is proposed for distributed sensor networks, which could improve the performance. The observability problem is studied for this estimation strategy and a necessary condition is obtained. This work is among the first ones that provide graph theoretical interpretations of the controllability and observability issues.

Abstract:
Faults and failures in system components are the two main reasons for the instability and the degradation in control performance. In recent decades, fault-tolerant control (FTC) approaches were introduced to improve the resiliency of the control system against faults and failures. In general, FTC techniques are classified into two major groups: passive and active. Passive FTC systems do not rely on the fault information to control the system and are closely related to the robust control techniques while an active FTC system performs based on the information received from the fault detection and isolation (FDI) system, and the fault problem will be tackled more intelligently without affecting other parts of the system. This dissertation technically reviews fault and failure causes in control systems and finds solutions to compensate for their effects. Recent achievements in FDI approaches, and active and passive FTC designs are investigated. Thorough comparisons of several different aspects are conducted to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different FTC techniques to motivate researchers to further developing FTC, and FDI approaches. Then, a novel active FTC system framework based on online FDI is presented which has significant advantages in comparison with other state of the art FTC strategies. To design the proposed active FTC, a new FDI approach is introduced which uses the artificial neural network (ANN) and a model based observer to detect and isolate faults and failures in sensors and actuators. In addition, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is introduced to tune ANN weights and improve the ANN performance. Then, the FDI signal combined with a nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) technique is used to compensate for the faults in the actuators and sensors of a nonlinear system. The proposed scheme detects and accommodates faults in the actuators and sensors of the system in real-time without the need of controller reconfiguration. The proposed active FTC approach is used to design a control system for three different applications: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), load frequency control system, and proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system. The performance of the designed controllers are investigated through numerical simulations by comparison with conventional control approaches, and their advantages are demonstrated.

Full text
Abstract:
Many complex systems are hybrid in the sense that: (i) the state set possesses continuous and discrete components, and (ii) system evolution may occur in both continuous and discrete time. One important class of hybrid systems is that characterized by a feedback configuration of a set of continuous controlled low level systems and a high level discrete controller; such systems appear frequently in engineering and are particularly evident when a system is required to operate in a number of distinct modes. Other classes of hybrid systems are found in such diverse areas as (i) air traffic management systems, (ii) chemical process control, (iii) automotive engine-transmission systems, and (iv) intelligent vehicle-highway systems.
In this thesis we first formulate a class of hybrid optimal control problems (HOCPs) for systems with controlled and autonomous location transitions and then present necessary conditions for hybrid system trajectory optimality. These necessary conditions constitute generalizations of the standard Minimum Principle (MP) and are presented for the cases of open bounded control value sets and compact control value sets. These conditions give information about the behaviour of the Hamiltonian and the adjoint process at both autonomous and controlled switching times.
Such proofs of the necessary conditions for hybrid systems optimality which can be found in the literature are sufficiently complex that they are difficult to verify and use; in contrast, the formulation of the HOCP given in Chapter 2 of this thesis, together with the use of (i) classical variational methods and more recent needle variation techniques, and (ii) a local controllability condition, called the small time tubular fountain (STTF) condition, make the proofs in that chapter comparatively accessible. We note that the STTF condition is used to establish the adjoint and Hamiltonian jump conditions in the autonomous switchings case.
A hybrid Dynamic Programming Principle (HDPP) generalizing the standard dynamic programming principle to hybrid systems is also derived and this leads to hybrid Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation which is then used to establish a verification theorem within this framework.

Kaszubowski, Lopes Yuri. "Supervisory control theory for controlling swarm robotics systems." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16765/.

Full text
Abstract:
Swarm robotics systems have the potential to tackle many interesting problems. Their control software is mostly created by ad-hoc development. This makes it hard to deploy swarm robotics systems in real-world scenarios as it is difficult to analyse, maintain, or extend these systems. Formal methods can contribute to overcome these problems. However, they usually do not guarantee that the implementation matches the specification because the system’s control code is typically generated manually. This thesis studies the application of the supervisory control theory (SCT) framework in swarm robotics systems. SCT is widely applied and well established in the man- ufacturing context. It requires the system and the desired behaviours (specifications) to be defined as formal languages. In this thesis, regular languages are used. Regular languages, in the form of deterministic finite state automata, have already been widely applied for controlling swarm robotics systems, enabling a smooth transition from the ad-hoc development currently in practice. This thesis shows that the control code for swarm robotics systems can be automatically generated from formal specifications. Several case studies are presented that serve as guidance for those who want to learn how to specify swarm behaviours using SCT formally. The thesis provides the tools for the implementation of controllers using formal specifications. Controllers are validated on swarms of up to 600 physical robots through a series of systematic experiments. It is also shown that the same controllers can be automatically ported onto different robotics platforms, as long as they offer the required capabilities. The thesis extends and incorporates techniques to the supervisory control theory framework; specifically, the concepts of global events and the use of probabilistic generators. It can be seen as a step towards making formal methods a standard practice in swarm robotics.

Abstract:
Consider the following nonlinear system [Formula Omitted] where ϰ ∈ Rⁿ, f, ℊ₁,…,ℊｍ are C∞ function in Rⁿ and ℎ is a C∞ function in R⍴, all defined on a neighborhood of 0. The problem of finding a necessary and sufficient condition such that system (1) can be transformed to a linear controllable system by a state coordinate change and feedback has been studied quite well. In this thesis, we first discuss a few different approaches to this problem and eventually we will show that the slightly different versions of the necessary and sufficient condition discovered are equivalent. Next we consider system (1) with all սi,= 0 together with system (2), and study the dual problem of transforming it to a linear observable system by a state and output coordinate change. Finally, we consider briefly system (l) and (2) with nonzero սi and study the problem of transforming it to a linear system that is both completely controllable and observable. Examples are given and applications to local stabilization and estimation are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Multi-actuator structural testing has traditionally been regarded, from a control point of view, as a multi-loop single-input, single-output problem. This approach does not take into account the interaction between. different actuators, due to the dynamics of the structure under test, which can be considerable. The result of this is often poor laboratory reproduction of the actual service data. This project shows that the mass of the structure under test has a considerable impact upon the stability of the traditional multi-loop, single-input, single-output control system. Where stability is prejudiced, the loop gains have to be reduced to maintain stability and this can degrade the performance of the test. In these circumstances multivariable control offers the potential for a significant improvement in performance. Two experimental rigs are used in this project, both exhibit major interaction and pose a significant control problem. The first rig consists of a laboratory scale cantilever beam excited by two electro-dynamic vibrators with displacements measured by Linear Variable Differential Transformers (L VDTs). The second, industrial-scale, rig consists of a large steel frame excited by two hydraulic actuators with applied force measured by load cells. Multivariable controllers are designed and implemented on these rigs based on the frequency-domain Characteristic Locus method. The multivariable controllers are shown to demonstrate superior performance to traditional multi-loop controllers. Mathematical models of the rigs are not required for controller design, instead experimental frequency responses are all that are needed. This is a major attraction of the Characteristic Locus method since the task.of modelling the dynamics of a multichannel structural test system is not trivial. However, obtaining the frequency response of the second rig is made difficult by the imposition of closed-loop control during the identification experiment. A technique is presented to overcome this problem using an existing correlation method.
