    Neural Network, Nonlinear-Fitting, Sliding Mode, Event-Triggered Control under Abnormal Input for Port Artificial Intelligence Transportation Robots

    by Yaping Zhu, Qiang Zhang, Yang Liu, Yancai Hu, Sihang Zhang

    A new control algorithm was designed to solve the problems of actuator physical failure, remote network attack, and sudden change in trajectory curvature when a port’s artificial intelligence-based transportation robots track transportation in a freight yard. First of all, the nonlinear, redundant, saturated sliding surface was designed based on the redundant information of sliding mode control caused by the finite nature of control performance; the dynamic acceleration characteristic of super-twisted sliding mode reaching law was considered to optimize the control high frequency change caused by trajectory mutation; and an improved super-twist reaching law was designed. Then, a nonlinear factor was designed to construct a nonlinear, fault-tolerant filtering mechanism to compensate for the abnormal part of the unknown input that cannot be executed by adaptive neural network reconstruction. On this basis, the finite-time technology and parameter-event-triggered mechanism were combined to reduce the dependence on communication resources. As a result, the design underwent simulation verification to verify its effectiveness and superiority. In the comparative simulation, under a consistent probability of a network attack, the tracking accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper was 22.65%, 12.69% and 11.48% higher those that of the traditional algorithms.

    Adaptive Auto-Berthing Control of Underactuated Vessel Based on Barrier Lyapunov Function

    by Yang Liu, Nam-Kyun Im, Qiang Zhang, Guibing Zhu

    This paper investigates the automatic berthing problem of underactuated surface vessels in the case of uncertain dynamics and yaw rate limitation, given the importance of yaw rate control and the unmeasurable hydrodynamic parameters of the vessel at low speeds. First, we use the differential homeomorphism coordinate transformation to solve the problem of underactuation. Second, a radial basis function network (RBF) is introduced to approximate unknown nonlinear functions. Third, we apply the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) approach to limit the yaw rate within a safe range. Fourth, we use dynamic surface control (DSC) technology and minimum learning parameters (MLP) to tackle the differential explosion problems in backstepping and computational complexity. Finally, Lyapunov stability theory proves that signals produced by the designed control scheme are bounded and effective. The simulation results show that, compared with the control scheme without BLF, the proposed method can effectively limit the yaw rate within a specific range and effectively solves the influence of the model uncertainly.
