  • Model Predictive Control of Spatially Distributed Systems with Spatio-Temporal Logic Specifications
    Ikkei Komizu, Koichi Kobayashi, Yuh Yamashita
    Computation, 12, 10, 196, 196, MDPI AG, 2024年09月30日
    研究論文(学術雑誌), In this paper, for spatially distributed systems, we propose a new method of model predictive control with spatio-temporal logic specifications. We formulate the finite-time control problem with specifications described by SSTLf (signal spatio-temporal logic over finite traces) formulas. In the problem formulation, the feasibility is guaranteed by representing control specifications as a penalty in the cost function. Time-varying weights in the cost function are introduced to satisfy control specifications as well as possible. The finite-time control problem can be written as a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem. According to the policy of model predictive control (MPC), the control input can be generated by solving the finite-time control problem at each discrete time. The effectiveness of the proposed method is presented through a numerical example.

  • Block sparse design of distributed controllers for dynamical network systems
    Ryosuke Adachi, Yuh Yamashita, Koichi Kobayashi
    International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 33, 1, 49, 66, Wiley, 2023年01月10日, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This study proposes a controller design method based on block sparse optimization for dynamical network systems. The objective of the controller is to stabilize dynamical network systems with a given convergence rate. The block sparse optimization minimizes the number of controlled nodes. This study is unique in that the structure of the controller is constrained by the network topology of the system. Additionally, the proposed design problem is separable in terms of the distributed optimization over networks. The proposed method is applicable to controller design for the pinning control of consensus systems and the optimal vaccine allocation for epidemic spreading processes.

  • Decentralized Event-Triggered Control of Discrete-Time Linear Systems via Output Feedback
    Koichi Kitamura, Koichi Kobayashi, Yuh Yamashita
    IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics, 2021-, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021年06月20日
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, event-triggered control over a sensor network is studied as one of the control methods of cyber-physical systems. Event-triggered control is a method that communications occur only when the measured value is widely changed. In the proposed method, by solving an LMI (linear matrix inequality) feasibility problem, we derive an event-triggered output feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. First, the problem formulation is given. Next, the control problem is reduced to an LMI feasibility problem. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated by a numerical example.
  • Distributed Observer Design on Sensor Networks with Random Communication

    IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences, E104-A, 3, 613, 621, 2021年03月, [査読有り], [筆頭著者]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper proposes a distributed observer on a sensor network, where communication on the network is randomly performed. This work is a natural extension of Kalman consensus filter approach to the cases involving random communication. In both bidirectional and unidirectional communication cases, gain conditions that guarantee improvement of estimation error convergence compared to the case with no communication are obtained. The obtained conditions are more practical than those of previous studies and give appropriate cooperative gains for a given communication probability. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by computer simulations.

    Digest of Technical Papers - IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics, 2021-, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021年01月10日
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In state estimation of steady-state power networks, a cyber attack that cannot be detected from the residual (i.e., the estimation error) is called a false data injection attack. In this paper, to enforce security of power networks, we propose a method of detecting a false data injection attack. In the proposed method, a false data injection attack is detected by randomly choosing sensors used in state estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is presented by two numerical examples including the IEEE 14-bus system.

    In this paper, we consider the design problem of an unknown-input observer for distributed network systems under the existence of communication delays. In the proposed method, each node estimates all states and calculates inputs from its own estimate. It is assumed that the controller of each node is given by an observer-based controller. When calculating each node, the input values of the other nodes cannot be utilized. Therefore, each node calculates alternative inputs instead of the unknown inputs of the other nodes. The alternative inputs are generated by own estimate based on the feedback controller of the other nodes given by the assumption. Each node utilizes these values instead of the unknown inputs when calculating the estimation and delay compensation. The stability of the estimation error of the proposed observer is proven by a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The stability condition is given by a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Finally, the result of a numerical simulation is shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) is a class of networked control systems. In WSANs, sensors and actuators are located in a distributed way, and communicate to controllers through a wireless communication network such as a multi-hop network. In this paper, we propose a model predictive control (MPC) method for co-design of control and routing of WSANs. MPC is an optimal control strategy based on numerical optimization. The control input is calculated by solving the finite-time optimal control problem at each discrete time. In the proposed method, a WSAN is modeled by a switched linear system. In the finite-time optimal control problem, a control input and a mode corresponding to a communication path are optimized simultaneously. The proposed method is demonstrated by a numerical example.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This study proposes a maximum-likelihood-estimation method for a quadrotor UAV given the existence of sensor delays. The state equation of the UAV is nonlinear, and thus, we propose an approximated method that consists of two steps. The first step estimates the past state based on the delayed output through an extended Kalman filter. The second step involves calculating an estimate of the present state by simulating the original system from the past to the present. It is proven that the proposed method provides an approximated maximum-likelihood-estimation. The effectiveness of the estimator is verified by performing experiments.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Event-triggered control is a method that the control input is updated only when a certain triggering condition is satisfied. In networked control systems, quantization errors via A/D conversion should be considered. In this paper, a new method for quantized event-triggered control with switching triggering conditions is proposed. For a discrete-time linear system, we consider the problem of finding a state-feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is uniformly ultimately bounded in a certain ellipsoid. This problem is reduced to an LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) optimization problem. The volume of the ellipsoid may be adjusted. The effectiveness of the proposed method is presented by a numerical example.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In a networked control system (NCS) where plants and controllers are connected through communication networks, it is important to decrease the number of times of communications under preserving of control performances such as optimality and stability. From this viewpoint, event-triggered control has been studied so far. In event-triggered control, the measured signal is sent to the controller only when a triggering condition is satisfied. In this paper, the control problem with decentralized event-triggering conditions is investigated. Here, generalized event-triggering conditions with design parameters are utilized. First, the control problem studied here is formulated. Next, this original problem is reduced to the problem of minimizing an upper bound of the cost function in the original problem. Furthermore, the reduced problem is approximated by a BMI (bilinear matrix inequality) optimization problem. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated by a numerical example.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this study, we propose an identification method of a state-space model for discrete-time SISO nonlinear systems. The first step of the procedure is to construct models which approximate local dynamics around stationary points of the system using a subspace method. The second step is to describe the local models in one unified coordinate using affine coordinate transformations. The coordinate transformations are determined based on the similarity of adjacent local models by the least-squares method. The model describes quasi-steady behavior of the plant. Simulation results of the proposed method are presented.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this paper, a distributed delay-compensated observer for wireless sensor networks is proposed. Each node of the sensor network aggregates data from the other nodes and sends the aggregated data to the neighbor nodes. All nodes estimate the state variables of a system simultaneously. The observer in each node is similar to the delay-compensated observer with multi-sensor delays proposed by Watanabe. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this study, we propose an asymptotic stabilization controller for a nonlinear system with a convex-polytope input constraint. Moreover, we establish a condition that the controller has inverse optimality in the neighborhood of the origin. The controller input is continuous in the set where the asymptotic stabilization is guaranteed. We consider the asymmetric constraint for zero-input, and this bias is adjusted by using an un-uniform scaling on each vertex point, in the neighborhood of the origin. Therefore, the input cost in the inverse optimal performance functional is approximated by a quadratic form near the origin.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Event-triggered control is a control method that the measured signal is sent to the controller only when a certain triggering condition on the measured signal is satisfied. In this paper, we propose a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) with decentralized triggering conditions. First, a suboptimal solution to the design problem of LQRs with decentralized triggering conditions is derived. A state-feedback gain can be obtained by solving a convex optimization problem with LMI (linear matrix inequality) constraints. Next, the relation between centralized and decentralized triggering conditions is discussed. It is shown that control performance of an LQR with decentralized event-triggering is better than that with centralized event-triggering. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this paper, a new method of model predictive control (MPC) for a multi-hop control network (MHCN) is proposed. An MHCN is a control system in which plants and controllers are connected through a multi-hop wireless network. In the proposed method, (i) control inputs and (ii) paths used in transmission of control inputs are computed with constant period by solving the finite-time optimal control problem. First, a mathematical model for expressing an MHCN is proposed. This model is given by a switched linear system, and is compatible with MPC. Next, the finite-time optimal control problem using this model is formulated, and is reduced to a mixed integer quadratic programming problem. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The multi-agent monitoring (surveillance) problem over graphs is to find trajectories of multiple agents that travel each node as evenly as possible. This problem has several applications such as city safety management and disaster rescue. In our previously proposed method, the finite-time optimal surveillance problem was formulated, and was reduced to a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem. Based on the policy of model predictive control, an optimal trajectory is generated by solving the MILP problem at each discrete time. However, the computation time for solving the MILP problem is frequently long. In this paper, to reduce the computation time of the MILP problem, a modeling method of graphs is proposed. In this method, the adjacency relation is time varying depending on the current position of agents. Since redundant arcs are eliminated, the computation time is improved. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), A multi-hop control network (MHCN) is a control system in which plants and controllers are connected through a multi-hop wireless network. An MHCN is one of the typical examples in cyber-physical systems. In this paper, we propose a new method of stochastic model predictive control for MHCNs with packet dropouts. In the proposed method, a given MHCN is modeled by a stochastic switched system. Then, we consider the finite-time optimal control problem of minimizing the cost function given by the quadratic form with respect to the expected value of the state and the control input. This problem is reduced to a mixed integer programming problem. By solving it, both communication paths and control inputs are optimized simultaneously.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This work presents a framework of dynamical systems consists of infinite-number of spatially distributed units. The units are classified into several kinds of units, and each unit has relationships with other kinds of units, e.g. communication, commuting, trades, lease, etc. Such a system can be represented by some Radon measures with some constraints. The units move their position, as well as associated relationships, according to the unit profits. The Nash equilibrium can be represented as a potential with constraints. The dynamical system can be obtained as a gradient-like system for the potential.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper provides a new framework of control allocation of over-actuated system for static optimization of inputs via dynamical extension and potential approach. The static optimization of the control allocation is performed in real-time approximately, by varying the input according to the potential. To ensure asymptotic stability of the controlled system, we extends the backstepping method to our cases where more flexible additional potential can be used. Under the conditions on the set of the minimizer, the growth rate around the set, and the unimodality of the additional potential with some auxiliary assumptions, the extended potential function becomes a control Lyapunov function of the augmented system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulations.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The objective of this study is to present a noise-assisted stabilization method and a constructive method for designing a stabilizing controller. We investigate the stabilization of a deterministic nonlinear affine system by using a controller with a Wiener process. Our approach focuses on the global asymptotic stabilization of nonholonomic systems. The proposed method for designing a stabilizing controller is based on the notion of a stochastic control Lyapunov function. We show that if there exists a stochastic control Lyapunov function with small control property, the designed controller globally asymptotically stabilizes a given system with probability one.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper provides a new framework of control allocation of over-actuated system for static optimization of inputs via dynamical extension and potential approach. The static optimization of the control allocation is performed in real-time approximately, by varying the input according to the potential. To ensure asymptotic stability of the controlled system, we extends the backstepping method to our cases where more flexible additional potential can be used. Under the conditions on the set of the minimizer, the growth rate around the set, and the unimodality of the additional potential with some auxiliary assumptions, the extended potential function becomes a control Lyapunov function of the augmented system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulations.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Event-triggered control is a control method that the measured signal is sent to the controller only when a certain condition on the measured signal is satisfied. In this paper, we propose a decentralized event-triggered linear quadratic regulator (LQR). First, a suboptimal solution to the decentralized event-triggered LQR problem is derived. A state-feedback gain can he obtained by solving an LMI (linear matrix inequality) optimization problem. Next, the relation between centralized and decentralized event-triggered LQR problems is discussed. It is shown that control performance of a decentralized event triggered LQR is better than that of a centralized event-triggered LQR. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, we propose a new control law for the asymptotic stabilization of a four-wheeled vehicle with a steering angle limitation. The control law is based on a locally semiconcave control Lyapunov function (LS-CLF) for the chained system proposed by Kimura et al. (2015) that is converted by coordinate and input transformations without singular points. We confirm that the LS-CLF is also effective for the four-wheeled vehicle case, i.e., such inputs exist in the input constraint that decrease the LS-CLF. We also design a control law by using the LS-CLF and steering angle constraint that achieves asymptotic stabilization of the origin of a four-wheeled system while avoiding pivot turns. We confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control law via a computer simulation and an experiment. (C) 2016, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control)Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.

  • Multiple obstacle avoidance of four-wheeled vehicle with steering limitation using nondifferentiable control Lyapunov function

    ADVANCED ROBOTICS, 30, 1, 15, 28, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2016年01月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Controlling a mobile robot in a space with obstacles is a well-known problem in robotics. The control objective is for the mobile robot to reach a goal point with obstacle avoidance. In this paper, we specially consider the multiple obstacle avoidance problem for particularly a four-wheeled vehicle. Assuming that the shapes and locations of the obstacles are known, we propose a design method of a nondifferentiable navigation function, which guides a vehicle at the desired point. The control law for the four-wheeled vehicle is obtained from the extended function of the navigation function. As four-wheeled vehicles cannot move sideways because of their nonholonomic constraint, the proposed control law addresses this difficulty by considering a decrease in the control Lyapunov function, and can be applied to vehicles with steering limitations. Moreover, the control law makes it possible for the vehicles to achieve an n-point turn automatically without the need for any rule-based decision-making or heuristic method. The four-wheeled vehicle can reach the goal point from any initial point under the proposed control law. Our experimental results with a small four-wheeled vehicle are presented at the end of this paper.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper considers a vibration suppression control method using feedback for a mass-spring-damper system with a tuned mass damper. For vibration suppression, we adopt the interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control, whereby the system is transformed to a system with a skyhook damper with an artificial structure matrix. The feedback law includes no accelerometer signal and uses only information on relative displacements and velocities. The proposed control method can simultaneously suppress the influences of the floor vibration and the disturbance force acting on the main body. A guideline for choosing parameters of the desired system is shown. The proposed method can be easily extended to nonlinear cases, which is demonstrated for a nonlinear-spring case. We also show the input-to-state stability property of closed-loop systems for linear cases and nonlinear cases. Copyright (C) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper propose a new delayed feedback control (DFC) method which is an extension of the observer-based DFC method to continuous-time cases for the stabilization problem of an unstable periodic orbit (UPO). The proposed method construct a complex-number observer which estimates the tracking error against the UPO. This paper proposes the extension of the author's previous research, and can be used for the time-invariant chaotic systems. The controller tunes the time-shift value of the desired UPO, and overcomes the problem of pole-zero canceling at the origin in the complex plane. The proposed method is applied to the stabilization problem of a UPO in the trajectories of Lorenz model.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), "Dynamic extension" is commonly used for stabilization of planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) system. Most of controllers designed by this method suffer from singularities of division-by-zero. We propose a "static" control Lyapunov function (CLF) design method for a PVTOL system by using a CLF obtained by dynamic extension and minimum projection method. Then, we design an inverse optimal controller with the designed static CLF. Moreover, we show that the proposed controller successfully stabilizes a desired operating point even in the neighborhood of the singularity where the conventional dynamic extension can not stabilize.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A locally semiconcave control Lyapunov function exists for every globally asymptotically controllable system; however for nonholonomic systems, the issue of a locally semiconcave generalized homogeneous control Lyapunov function is not investigated. In this paper, the authors propose a locally semiconcave generalized homogeneous control Lyapunov function for Brockett integrator as a canonical form of nonholonomic systems. Moreover, the authors propose an exponentially stabilizing controller for a two-wheeled mobile robot with the function. The effectiveness of the proposed method are confirmed by computer simulation and an experiment, and advantages over previously proposed controllers are confirmed by experiments.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper presents the asymptotic stabilization of the Artstein's circle using stochastic processes in a control law. To construct a C-2 control Lyapunov function (CLF) for a stabilization method using stochastic processes, we synthesize a nonsmooth CLF for a nonsmooth stabilization method and a smooth function. By synthesizing these functions, we obtain a C-2 CLF. By this C-2 CLF, we can obtain a continuous stabilizing feedback using stochastic processes for the Artstein's circle.

    2015 IEEE CONFERENCE ON CONTROL AND APPLICATIONS (CCA 2015), 601, 606, IEEE, 2015年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper considers a maximum likelihood estimation problem for a quadrotor UAV under the existence of sensor delays. Since the state equation of the UAV is nonlinear, we propose an approximated method consisting of the following two steps. The first step is devoted to estimation of the past state based on the delayed output. We use an extended Kalman filter for this purpose. As the second step, an estimate of the present state is calculated by simulating the linear approximated system from the past to the present time. It is proved that the proposed method provides an approximated maximum likelihood estimation. The effectiveness of the estimator is verified by an experiment.

    IFAC-PapersOnLine, 48, 11, 866, 871, Elsevier B.V., 2015年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We propose a binary input controller for higher-order sliding-mode control. The proposed method extends the continuous controller for higher-order sliding-mode control to applicable for a system with a binary input constraint. Under the binary input constraint, the controller for the system can only use two input such as ±1. We design a binary input controller for the system based on the implicit Lyapunov function method. We also reduce the chattering phenomenon on the sliding hypersurface except on the origin. The reduction mechanism provides strong effect for the chattering reduction under three-valued input constraint ±1 and zero, which is demonstrated in the simulation in this paper.
  • State estimation for boundary-coupled parabolic distributed parameter systems using spatial averages

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper proposes an indirect method for designing a Luenberger-type state observer for systems described by boundary-coupled two parabolic partial differential equations. In particular, we concentrate on the case where outputs are spatial averages of the state variables. The proposed method consists of two steps. We first introduce a state transformation that converts the system into another system with boundary measurement. Then, the backstepping approach can provide a state observer for the converted system. An estimate of the original state variables is constructed through the inverse transformation. The performance of the proposed observer is confirmed by a numerical simulation.
  • General Scheme for Design of Higher-Order Sliding-Mode Controller

    2015 AMERICAN CONTROL CONFERENCE (ACC), 5176, 5181, IEEE, 2015年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Higher-order sliding-mode control has exclusive properties, such as robustness against the disturbance and uncertainty. Moreover, the finite-time stability of a system can be realized with a homogeneous sliding-mode controller. However, designing a higher-order sliding-mode controller is difficult. In this paper, we introduce a general strategy that includes various types of homogeneous sliding-mode control laws. We can check the stability of a system under the control law with some explicit inequalities. Therefore, we can theoretically design the controller even if the target system has input constraints, bounded disturbances, and uncertainty.
  • Asymptotic stabilization of nonlinear systems on general manifolds via minimum projection method

    2009 European Control Conference, ECC 2009, 2757, 2762, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014年03月26日
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Asymptotic stabilization on noncontractible manifolds is known as a difficult control problem. For the problem, we proposed the minimum projection method to design a nonsmooth control Lyapunov function on a manifold. However, how to stabilize the control system defined on the manifold with the obtained control Lyapunov function remains a problem. Then, a Rifford-type formula on general manifolds is proposed with nonsmooth control Lyapunov functions via the minimum projection method in this paper. Moreover, we prove our proposed method asymptotically stabilize the origin of the control system defined on the manifold in the sense of Euler and π-trajectory. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by an example of collision avoidance of a mobile robot.

    2014 IEEE 53RD ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL (CDC), 3167, 3172, IEEE, 2014年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper presents a method for the homogeneous stabilization of homogeneous driftless input-affine systems using feedback controllers with Wiener processes. Although previous studies have shown methods for the stabilization of nonholonomic systems by using Wiener processes, the closed-loop systems sometimes show slow convergence. To improve the convergence rate, we show a method that gives a homogeneous controller by redesigning the controllers designed by the previous methods. By the virtue of the homogeneity, the closed-loop systems exhibit almost sure exponential stability with respect to homogeneous norms. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    2014 IEEE CONFERENCE ON CONTROL APPLICATIONS (CCA), 1072, 1077, IEEE, 2014年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper considers a formation control problem of two-wheeled vehicles. We first design a base controller based on the structured linear quadratic optimal regulator. The resulting optimal control gain is a lower triangular matrix; thus, agents communicate with each other in a top-down manner. However, vehicles may collide with each other under this control law since it is linear. To avoid collision of vehicles, we design a potential function by deforming the quadratic form of the stabilizing solution of the Riccati equation. The gradient of the potential function gives a control law that guarantees collision avoidance. The control law coincides with the optimal control law if vehicles are far from each other. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is confirmed by numerical simulation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this paper, a stochastic asymptotic stabilization method is proposed for deterministic input-affine control systems, which are randomized by including Gaussian white noises in control inputs. The sufficient condition is derived for the diffusion coefficients so that there exist stochastic control Lyapunov functions for the systems. To illustrate the usefulness of the sufficient condition, the authors propose the stochastic continuous feedback law, which makes the origin of the Brockett integrator become globally asymptotically stable in probability.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper considers a boundary stabilization problem of systems described by boundary coupled two one-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations based on the backstepping method. Unlike the conventional backstepping framework, we propose a state transformation that contains the state of the unforced subsystem partially. It is proved that this transformation is well-defined and converts the original system into an exponentially stable system together with an associated state feedback control law under a condition that ensures the stability of the unforced subsystem. The original system with this control law inherits the stability of the transfomed one. The effectiveness of the obtained control law is demonstrated numerically.

    英語, The aim of this paper is to present a stochastic extremum-seeking algorithm for one-dimensional and multivariate optimization of static systems. Extremum-seeking algorithms estimate the optimum value of a function using perturbation signals. The authors propose three schemes (a basic scheme, an annealing parameter scheme, and a high-pass filter scheme) for the one-parameter problem and one scheme (a high-pass filter scheme) for the multivariate problem. These methods employ Wiener processes for the perturbation signals. In this paper, the proposed methods are shown to converge by means of a stability analysis of stochastic systems. The paper presents some numerical examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methods.
  • Simultaneous estimation of vehicle sideslip angle and tire-road friction coefficient

    2013 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE (SICE), 1586, 1591, IEEE, 2013年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), We simultaneously estimate the vehicle sideslip angle and tire-road friction coefficient from generally given information from various sensors by using the differences in tire characteristics. In most previous studies, a linear vehicle model for determining the lateral force has been used, whereas we use a nonlinear model. Furthermore, we use Levant's exact differentiator to determine the yaw angular acceleration from the yaw rate in real time. The proposed method can accurately estimate the vehicle sideslip angle and provide real-time information about road surface conditions without the need to use an expensive real-time kinematic global positioning system sensor.

  • Constructive design method of stochastic continuous feedback laws for stabilization of deterministic nonlinear systems

    2013 AMERICAN CONTROL CONFERENCE (ACC), 2013 Vol.8, 6424, 6429, IEEE, 2013年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The purpose of this paper is to present a constructive design method of a stochastic feedback law for a deterministic nonlinear affine system. This design method gives a feedback law in the case that a randomized system is given as a Stratonovich-type stochastic differential equation, based on a result of Wong and Zakai. It is proved that a designed feedback law can globally asymptotically stabilize a randomized system with probability one. The design method employs a notion of a stochastic control Lyapunov function and the so-called Sontag's formula. The method in this paper aims the stabilization of nonholomic systems and non-Euclidean systems, which cannot be stabilized by any continuously differentiable time-invariant feedback laws. We can obtain a continuous feedback law for a state variable in the stabilization of such systems.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, a state feedback control law is proposed for boundary coupled two different one-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). The control input is assumed to act only at a boundary of one side. The feedback law is designed based on the backstepping method. As a novelty of this paper, a state transformation involving a 'discontinuous' integral kernel is introduced in order to handle the difference of diffusion coefficients. This enables us to develop a well-posed backstepping framework for cascades of parabolic PDEs and an exponentially stabilizing controller is derived. The performance of the proposed controller is also validated by numerical simulation. ©2013 IEEE.

    2012 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONTROL APPLICATIONS (CCA), 1590, 1595, IEEE, 2012年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper investigates a vehicle formation control based on the following of a leader by nonholonomic mobile robots with two driving wheels. In this research, we propose a method for creating continuous and non-differentiable navigation functions, from which we derive a formation control law for each robot. The non-differentiability of the proposed navigation function removes the singularity encountered by conventional methods. The stability condition of a formation based on leader-following has been demonstrated by Tanner et al. as "Leader-to-Formation Stability" (LFS) [1]. In this paper, we assess the LFS property by regarding the navigation function as a LFS Lyapunov function.
  • Control Law for Multiple Obstacle Avoidance of Four-wheeled Vehicle with Limited Steering Angle by Multilayer Minimum Projection Method

    2012 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONTROL APPLICATIONS (CCA), 1578, 1583, IEEE, 2012年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Maintaining control of a mobile robot in a space punctuated by obstacles is known to be a difficult problem. It is generally necessary to avoid such obstacles and find as short a route as possible to a goal. In this paper, we approach such a problem by proposing a design method for a navigation function to a given goal point, assuming that we know the location and shape of the obstacles. We then obtain a control law for a four-wheeled vehicle from a control Lyapunov function extended from this navigation function. Four-wheeled vehicles, such as cars, cannot move sideways due to their nonholonomic constraint. The control law proposed in this paper clears the nonholonomicity and enables us to consider the direction of the vehicle and its steering angle limitation using the backstepping method with our navigation function. We also describe some experimental results of the proposed method for a small four-wheeled vehicle.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper proposes a novel ODE-type Smith predictor for nonlinear control systems with transmission delays. The presence of time delays in the transmission of the control signals and the sensor signals may severely affect the performance of the closed-loop system and prevent the successful application of established nonlinear control methodologies. First, we investigate a backstepping interpretation of Smith predictors for linear time-variant (LTV) systems in the state space. Second, we propose a new nonlinear Smith predictor, the error dynamics of which is locally stabilized by another Smith predictor for the LTV systems. The Smith predictor can reduce the computational cost of the controller, because integral equations, which should be solved at each time in previously proposed predictive controllers, are replaced by inner-product operations.

  • Static Nonsmooth Control Lyapunov Function Design via Dynamic Extension

    2011 50TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL AND EUROPEAN CONTROL CONFERENCE (CDC-ECC), 7573, 7578, IEEE, 2011年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, we propose a method to obtain a control Lyapunov function (CLF) by the reduction of a CLF of an augmented system with a dynamic compensator. For asymptotically stabilizing control, dynamic compensators are not necessary in most of the cases. However, in some cases, we can easily design a stabilizing control law using a dynamic compensator. Therefore, a constructive design method using a static controller via a dynamic controller has advantages and is preferable in practice. In this paper, we assume that a CLF has been designed on an extended state space with a dynamic compensator, and show that taking minimum values of the CLF on the extended state space gives a nonsmooth CLF on the original state space. This method can be considered as an extension of the minimum projection method[1], [2]. We also show that the obtained CLF fulfills Lipschitz continuity and local semiconcavity if the original CLF on the extended state space is Lipschitz continuous and locally semiconcave. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by an example.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, we propose a new method for constructing approximate value functions for nonlinear optimal regulator problems with infinite time horizons. We consider a canonical quantization, which is an operation to change classical mass systems to quantum mass systems. First, we apply the canonical quantization to mass systems equivalent to the optimal regulator systems. Second, we construct approximate optimal regulators by using the canonical quantized mass systems. Third, we clarify the conditions under which approximate solutions converge to the strict solutions. In addition, we demonstrate some examples with one-dimensional systems. © 2011 IFAC.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Bilateral teleoperators, designed within the passivity framework using the concepts of scattering transformation and two port network theory, provide robust stability in the constant delay condition in a network. In this paper, we propose a new coordination architecture for bilateral teleoperation in which static feedback gains in the master and slave robots are replaced by dynamic feedbacks using nonlinear low-pass filters. This architecture can select low-frequency gain and high-frequency gain independently. We can select the cut-off frequencies of the master block and slave block independently. We show the stability of our system and the ultimate boundedness of the position error between the master manipulator and the slave manipulator trajectories using a Lyapunov Krasovskii functional, in free motion with transmission time delay. This architecture guarantees accurate position tracking of the two robots in free motion with transmission time delay. Simulation results are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture for position and force tracking control. © 2011 IFAC.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), We propose a new stochastic continuous time extremum seeking algorithm. The proposed algorithm is simpler to use than conventional stochastic continuous time extremum seeking algorithms. The proposed algorithm uses the Wiener process directly to extract gradients of objective functions. Three schemes, i.e., the simple scheme, the annealing parameter scheme, and the high-pass-filter scheme, are described. We develop a method for estimating the time evolution of the probability density of the solution of the system in the simple scheme. The stability analysis is discussed for the high-pass filter scheme. It is shown that the extreme value of the system is obtained with the proposed system in simulation results. © 2011 IEEE.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The purpose of this paper is to solve a global asymptotic stabilization problem for a nonlinear control system on a manifold with a complete metric. As well known, a system on a noncontractible manifold is not globally asymptotically stabilizable via a continuous feedback law. This problem results from the existence of multiple singular points of such a controlled system. It is shown that if all singular points can be assigned to a subspace of the extended state space using a dynamic compensator and a continuous feedback except for at most one jump, then the augmented system becomes globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, a method for stabilization is developed using a dynamic compensator and a global control Lyapunov function for an input-affine system. Finally, we propose a method for constructing the control Lyapunov function for a system such that the dimension of the coefficient matrix of the input is equal to the dimension of the state.

  • Minimum Projection Method for nonsmooth control Lyapunov function design on general manifolds

    SYSTEMS & CONTROL LETTERS, 58, 10-11, 716, 723, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009年10月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Asymptotic stabilization on noncontractible manifolds is known as a difficult control problem. On the other hand, an important fact is every control system that is globally asymptotically stabilizable at a desired equilibrium must have nonsmooth control Lyapunov functions.
    This paper considers the problem of construction of nonsmooth control Lyapunov functions on general manifolds, and we propose a nonsmooth control Lyapunov function design method called the 'Minimum Projection Method'. The proposed method considers a simple-structured smooth manifold associated with the original manifold by a surjective immersion, and then a control Lyapunov function defined on the simple-structured manifold is projected to the original manifold. A function on the original manifold is thus obtained.
    In this paper, we prove that the control system on another manifold associated with a surjective immersion is determined uniquely, and the resulting function by the proposed method is a nonsmooth control Lyapunov function on the original manifold. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by examples. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The existence of stochastic Lyapunov functions assures that the systems are stable in probability. However, general scheme of obtaining stochastic Lyapunov functions has not been introduced yet. This paper extends the authors' previous method[21] obtaining Lyapunov functions for deterministic cases to stochastic cases. In the method, difference-approximation scheme[6,10] and quantization of Markov processes[1,14] are used to approximate Lyapunov equations by linear quantum-like equations. We propose a method of obtaining approximate stochastic Lyapunov functions for nonlinear stochastic systems by superimposing the eigenfunctions of the quantum-like equations.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper proposes a method of constructing weak control-Lyapunov functions for nonlinear systems by introducing a topological geometric assumption called a Morse-Smale system. A Lyapunov function is one of the most important tools to study stability and stabilization of nonlinear systems. However, a general way of finding Lyapunov functions has not been found yet. First, we confirm there is a weak Lyapunov function for Morse-Smale systems. Next, we define the escapability for singular structures of the weak Lyapunov function. If all singular structures are escapable, then the Morse-Smale system is a globally asymptotically stabilizable one. Finally, we present the method of constructing a set of weak control-Lyapunov functions to achieve global stabilization. The method is described in terms of a recursive sequence of singular structures. We call the sequence a weak Lyapunov filtration.

The distributed parameter system with unknown coefficients is described by evolution equations in Hilbert space.

Finally, by assuming the persistency of excitation, stability of the proposed control system is shown.
  • Optimal control of formation flight based on MLD systems

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2007 IEEE CONFERENCE ON CONTROL APPLICATIONS, VOLS 1-3, 1292, 1297, IEEE, 2007年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, formation flight is modeled as a mixed logical dynamical (MLD) system, which is described by linear equations subject to linear inequalities involving real and integer variables. This model is built by discretizing the continuous-time nonlinear kinematical equations of formation flight system through the Euler method, quantizing its physical input variables, and integrating operating constraints. The control objective is to maintain the relative positions and orientations between aircraft close to their desired values to keep a formation geometry without potential collisions despite the maneuvering of the leader. The resulting MLD system of formation flight can be governed by the mixed integer predictive control (MIPC) law, and the optimal predictive control input can be obtained by solving an equivalent mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem. This MLD model essentially considers the three dimensional motion of aircraft. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by simulation results.

First, we define homogeneous eigenvalues and homogeneous eigenvectors for complex homogeneous systems of degree (l, l). Then, we obtain solutions on homogeneous eigenvectors. Convergence of the solutions depends not only on homogeneous eigenvalues but also on homogeneous eigenvectors. Moreover, solutions on homogeneous eigenvectors never vibrate. Hence, it may not be appropriate to assign complex analytic homogeneous systems to real analytic homogeneous systems in complex transformation.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The purpose of this paper is to solve the global asymptotic stabilization problem of multi-input affine systems on general manifolds. It is known that if the control Lyapunov-Morse function (CLMF) satisfies some assumptions, the controlled system is globally asymptotically stablizable via the discontinuous feedback law derived from the CLMF. However, in some cases we cannot find CLMFs satisfying the assumption. In this paper, we perturb original CLMF and we change over the feedback laws derived from the original and perturbed CLMF under some rules. Moreover, a condition of global asymptotic stability of controlled system with feedback law is also obtained.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), We consider semi-global output regulation of single-input single-output nonminimum-phase nonlinear systems via error feedback. Onishi et al. introduced the method like backsteppings to solve some global output regulation problems via state feedback in non-minimum phase nonlinear systems. Yang et al. introduced a comprehensible idea to achieve semi-global stabilization via output feedback. We use these ideas. The regulator has saturation to prevent that sudden observation noise make the state of the whole system escape from origin neighborhood. This method requires the solvabilities of some partial differential equations and a linear growth condition.

  • On characteristic families of dissipative boundaries for two-dimensional gradient-like Morse-Smale controlled systems

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The method of gradient-like Morse-Smale controlled (GLMSC) systems is a systematic approach to solve global asymptotic stabilization problems for finite and nonlinear state equations. A GLMSC system is a closed loop system equipped with the structure of a gradient-like Morse-Smale flow. In general, the system has finitely many hyperbolic singular points of the vector field. Its global compact attractor can be represented as a normal CW-complex (CWC). For a fixed combination of hyperbolic singular points, there appear a vast number of corresponding CWCs with different structures. In this paper, we investigate an identification technique for these CWCs with the same singular point data and propose a notion of 'characteristic families of dissipative boundaries' for distinguishing a given CWC from others.

Under the assumption of persistency of excitation, parameter-error convergence to zero is guaranteed.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper focuses on the problem of postural stability of a biped robot. We consider a compass-like biped model and analyze its postural stability based on the energy dissipation when the idling leg collides against the ground surface. We calculate the amount of energy dissipation by using rigid dynamics. We propose a novel criterion PSC (Postural Stability Criterion) that judges postural stability of the robot. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed criterion with two other indexes is demonstrated by computer simulation.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Homogeneous systems play important roles in nonlinear control theory. We proposed homogeneous eigenvalues, and provided sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability using homogeneous eigenvalue analysis in the previous papers. In this paper, we prove that there exist a homogeneous system which has uncountable infinite homogeneous eigenvalues. Moreover, we introduce the definition of the oscillation in nonlinear systems and prove the condition for oscillation. Finally, we construct the controller which does not oscillate each solution of the controlled system.
  • 制御Lyapupov-Morse関数による大域漸近安定化

    計測自動制御学会論文集, 42, 6, 643, 650, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 2006年
    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The purpose of this paper is to solve the global asymptotic stabilization problem for nonlinear systems on general manifolds. It is known that if the state space of a control system is not contractible, the system is not globally asymptotically stabilizable via C1 feedback law, because gradient-like flow on the non-contractible manifold demands multiple singular points. In this paper, we define a control Lyapunov-Morse function having multiple critical points using the concept of the Lyapunov-Morse function, which is a kind of complete Lyapunov functions for dynamical systems with multiple isolated singular points. We derive a discontinuous feedback law from the control Lyapunov-Morse function. Moreover, a condition for global asymptotic stability of the controlled system with the discontinuous feedback law is also obtained.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Homogeneous eigenvalue analysis is a useful tool for analysis of homogeneous systems. We obtained necessary conditions for asymptotic stability in our previous paper. However, any sufficient conditions are not obtained.
    In this paper, we introduce Euler sphere, and analyze the properties of solutions of homogeneous systems using dilations of Euler sphere. Moreover, we show the equivalence between a trajectory of a projection of a solution and a trajectory of a solution of a projection system. Then, we prove sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of homogeneous systems. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for a system which has an uncontrollable linear approximation.

  • On a topological condition for strongly asymptotically stable differential inclusions

    2005 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control & European Control Conference, Vols 1-8, 5444, 5449, IEEE, 2005年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, we will show that a system on a non-contractible manifold cannot be strongly asymptotically stabilized in Filippov's sense, even if discontinuous feedback is used. The fact is well-known for C-1 feedback case, and we extend it to the discontinuous feedback case. To consider the stabilization problem on a non-contractible manifold, the assumption convexity or upper semicontinuity is restrictive. We will propose a new type of differential inclusion without upper semicontinuity by defining a function indicating a rate of leaving from discontinuous set. By adopting the new differential inclusion, stabilization problems on non-contractible manifolds become possible for many cases.

    COMPUTERS & CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, 28, 10, 1967, 1980, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2004年09月
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), It is widely known that various types of human errors occur in the confused state of a plant operator's mind under abnormal situations. In order to understand the generation mechanism of these human errors in the circumstances of disturbances and equipment failures, we have developed a cognitive information-processing model incorporating the operator's physical and mental states. The operator model is installed on a PC and connected to a boiler plant simulator for training through a human-machine interface model that we also developed. Using this simulation environment we examine perceptual error in the monitoring mode and cognitive error in fault diagnosis during malfunctions. The simulation results coincide well qualitatively with observations of actual plant operations and simulator training. This operator model can be used to analyze the generation mechanism of various types of human errors from the viewpoint of cognitive information processing. Accordingly, we can study how to prevent human errors and evaluate the effects of various measures by running simulations. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    計測自動制御学会論文集, Vol. 40, No. 7, 721, 728, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 2004年
    In this paper, we propose a design method of an observer-based controller for nonlinear differential algebraic equation (DAE) systems. We transform a DAE system to an explicit ordinary differential equation (ODE) system that is restricted to an invariant manifold by differentiating the original DAE repeatedly. If the DAE is non-regular, we add integrators to inputs to avoid impulse modes. We design a state feedback law that incorporates redundant state variables and an observer that estimates all of these variables simultaneously. We also give a set of sufficient conditions for the global stability of the control system. The efficiency of the controller is demonstrated by computer simulation.

    This paper focuses on the problem of stabilization of a chained-form nonholonomic system. We propose a time-invariant discontinuous finite-time homogeneous controller for the chained system. The controller has no singular point where the control inputs become infinite values. Using the characteristics of the homogeneous system, we can select the convergence speed of the controlled system. Namely, we can choose an exponentially stable system or a finite-time stable system. We designed the controller for a 3-state chained system and confirmed the superior performance of the controlled system by computer simulations.

  • Observer design for nonlinear systems described by differential-algebraic equations

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), We propose an observer design method for a differential-algebraic equation (DAE) systems with index one. In the observer, the algebraic equation constraint is fulfilled asymptotically. The error of the constraint converges to zero in finite time by means of functions that do not satisfy the local Lipschitz condition. The dynamics part of the observer is designed via the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. The observer is globally asymptotically stable under certain assumptions. Since the algebraic equations include input variable, the observer requires the derivative of input to plant. The derivative of the input is calculated from the controller states directly or estimated by the exact differentiator of Levant.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), An optimal control problem for nonlinear systems is useful because various control objectives can be included in the cost function such as rapid stabilization and input cost minimization. However, there exist input restrictions of actuators and state constraints that arise from the movable region of the system in the real system. Therefore, the optimal control problem should be solved to satisfy these restrictions. In this paper, we propose a new method to realize nonlinear receding-horizon control under input restrictions and state constraints. First, a receding horizon control problem is formulated. Next, a new real-time optimization method is proposed. Then, the method is applied to solve a receding-horizon control problem of a wheeled vehicle. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through simulations and experimental results.

    日本語, In this paper, we propose a new method of exact tracking control for multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems in which the relative degree for an output is not well defined at the origin. First, the system is transformed into a singularly perturbed system using a time-scale transformation and coordinate transformations. A composite control law is adopted to attain exact tracking control for the singularly perturbed system. However, it is difficult to solve simultaneous partial differential equations for the composite control law. We obtain an approximate solution of the PDEs via the ε-correction method. The proposed tracking control law is applied to the ball and plate system, which is a typical example having no relative degree at the origin.

    SICE 2002: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 41ST SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-5, 1974, 1979, IEEE, 2002年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), This paper provides a construction method of a smooth homogeneous Lyapunov function associated with a discontinuous homogeneous system, which is locally asymptotically stable. First, we analyze two similar converse Lyapunov theorems for differential inclusions and unify them into a simple theorem. Next, we propose a new definition of homogeneous differential inclusion. Then, we construct a smooth homogeneous Lyapunov function associated with the homogeneous differential inclusion. Lastly, we show that the order of homogeneity of a homogeneous system indicates the speed of convergence.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In digital tele-communication, the delay time of the transmission isn't fixed. One solution is to design a new digital controller which is composed of an analog controller and two digital compensators. However, this system is weak to measurement noise. We develop a new digital controller that can cope with the problems of measurement noise by applying the H-infinity control method.

    SICE 2002: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 41ST SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-5, 2249, 2254, IEEE, 2002年, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), In this paper, we address the problem of global asymptotic stabilization for a single-input single-output non-linear system that may not be minimum phase. To solve this problem, we introduce a set of invariant manifolds which have hierarchical structure. We transform the plant repeatedly by using this set of invariant manifolds. Under the linear growth condition and some additional assumptions, global asymptotic stabilization is achieved by applying a variable-gain state feedback law to the obtained system.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We have been studying the use of multiple channel electroencephalogram (EEG) data to infer a human's thinking state. As a result, we have confirmed off-line thinking state estimation to be effective, in experimental studies on simulator training during malfunctions and mathematics problem solving. In this research, we developed a real-time system that monitors a human's thinking state on the basis of off-line results. First, an artificial neural network (ANN) model and a linear regression model were compared to determine which was more appropriate for real-time use. The ANN model was adopted because of its ease of handling and higher accuracy in thinking state estimation. Then, a prototype real-time thinking state monitoring (RTSM) system with the ANN model was developed and its effectiveness was evaluated experimentally via mathematics problem solving. Finally, we discuss a conception of plant operations with RTSM.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To construct an optimal regulator for a wheeled vehicle, we need a viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation (HJ-PDE). In this paper, we propose a new method to have the viscosity solution of the HJ-PDE more quickly by applying a new searching method which uses a sequence of random inputs. This method reduces the number of searching points and makes calculation time faster than the previous method. Next, we propose a method to have the viscosity solution for obstacle avoidance. From the theoretical result of optimal control with state constraints, we can get the viscosity solution which avoids obstacles optimally. Then we make sure that an optimal solution can be obtained analytically by the finite difference numerical approximation of the HJ-PDE. This new result gives us an optimal solution without searching. Finally, the effectiveness of control results calculated from proposed methods are confirmed through simulations.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A programmable controller (PC) programming technique using SFC (sequential function chart) has been adopted in sequential control system design because SFC can graphically represent the sequence how of control logic. However, when we design an SFC program, we must verify the program with the design specifications. For this purpose, we can use scenario simulation and exhaustive simulation. In this paper, we propose to model both the controlled object and the SFC program by a Petri net for verification by both types of simulations. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Third, a nonlinear model was developed to estimate the thinking state of a plant operator. Finally, the estimation method was applied to a subject who operated a boiler plant simulator under abnormal circumstances. It was verified that the method gives useful information for estimating the plant operator's thinking state. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A nonlinear control system was considered for a heterogeneous azeotropic distillation column that separates a three component mixture of water, n-butyl-acetate, and acetic acid. This system shows such complex dynamic behavior that it is difficult to operate it and to design its controller. In this study, we developed a dynamic simulator to understand and characteristics of the process. After considering the system's behavior by using the simulator, a control system was developed with exact input-output linearization. The control performance was examined when a step change happened in the feed composition and the feed flow rate. Compared with a multiloop control system, the proposed control system can quickly settle down at the setpoints with small fluctuations. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A four-input four-output system was transformed to four SISO systems by input-output linearization based on a simplified framework of the column. A control system was designed for the linearized four SISO systems, accounting for the effect of model mismatch. The performances of the control system were examined with simulation of a methanol-water distillation column. The control system by input-output linearization exhibited better performance than the conventional multi-loop control systems. These properties were evident under large scaled disturbances.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To construct an optimal regulator for nonlinear systems, we need to solve a Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation (HJ-PDE) . However, if the system has nonholonomic constraints, the HJ-PDE has a nonsmooth solution because of the nonsmoothness of the optimal cost function. In such a case, the viscosity solution, a nonsmooth weak solution of the HJ-PDE, is obtained.
    In this paper, we deal with a wheeled vehicle, which is a nonholonomic system, and propose a numerical method to achieve a viscosity solution of the HJ-PDE using the dynamic programming principle (DPP) . The DPP can be applied to acquire a nonsmooth solution of the HJ-PDE. We also construct an optimal control law using derivatives of the viscosity solution of the HJ-PDE. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through simulations.

Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations are often used for solving nonlinear-H-control problems or nonlinear-optimal-control problems. Some trajectories of the Hamiltonian system which is generated from the Hamiltonian function related to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation give a stable manifold of the system approximately, so they produce the derivative of the storage function. From their trajectories, the solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is approximated with Bezier interpolation. The initial states of the trajectories are given by the linear system which approximates the dynamics on the stable manifold.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), An absorption heat pump system is a complex nonlinear system. The system dynamics varies considerably depending on the load. The local linearization technique is not suitable for such a system, because a linearized model approximates the original nonlinear system only in the neighborhood of the point where linearization is done. In this paper, the dynamics of an absorption heat pump system is modeled as a linear time-varying system, of which the system matrix is within a specified polytope at any time. Once a plant is modeled as a polytope system, a controller design problem can be reduced to a convex programming problem which can be solved easily. Numerical simulations illustrate that this procedure is practical and effective to design a load following controller for the absorption heat pump system. © 1998, The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan.

    日本語, In this paper, a new numerical computation method using genetic algorithm for an optimal control problem with terminal constraints and singular arcs is proposed. The input functions are parameterized using spline interpolation, which has devices that can represent discontinuous input functions. In order to treat the terminal constraints properly, Lagrange multipliers that are contained in genetic information of chromosomes are introduced. On the singular arcs, coefficients of inputs in Hamiltonian vanish, so the coefficients on the arcs are included in the extended performance index. The weight constants of the extended performance index are changed adaptively at every generation of the genetic algorithm. A simple example is solved using this method, which verifies the efficiency of genetic algorithm in the computation of the optimal control.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), An identification method and a tracking controller for nonlinear discrete-time systems using ''neural-gas network'' are proposed. Neural-gas network is a kind of self-organizing networks, and was developed by Martinet and Schulten[1]. The system is identified by estimating a hypersurface in the space of input and output sequences using neural-gas network. The metric of the space of synapse weight is modified to increase efficiency of learning. The hypersurface is expressed with a method by means of rational Bezier surface or direct interpolation. An inverse model of the system is derived from the surface, which is applied to tracking control problem.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper discusses a design method of "neural controller" which achieves the model following control for a SISO nonlinear discrete-time system. If the system dynamics is completely known, the model following control law can be derived as a nonlinear function of input-output sequence via the nonlinear control theory. Under reasonable assumptions, a neural network CMAC-Cerebellar Model Arithmetic Computer-is able to learn both the uncertain nonlinear dynamics of the system and the nonlinear function which yields the model following controller. Moreover, in order to improve the accuracy and the speed of learning, the data presented to the CMAC are transformed by the difference method or the correlation method. It is shown by computer simulations that our method works well and the correlation method is better than the difference method.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In our previous paper 4) -12), we have studied "Theory of Invariance" for nonlinear continuous-time systems with their inputs appearing linearly. The aim of this paper is to derive necessary and sufficient conditions that inputs never effect outputs (so called conditions of "Invariance") for nonlinear discrete-time and continuous-time systems without the assumption of linearity in inputs. Applying these conditions to the decoupling problem, we obtained necessary and sufficient conditions which yield decoupling control laws for both the continuous-time systems and the discrete-time systems. The conditions of decoupling given by van der Schaft 13) and Grizzle 14) via geometric approach are different in forms from ours. But, it seems difficult to derive control laws from their conditions because the integration of partial deferential equations is needed there.

  • Invarianceの理論とその応用 ― X.ブロック無干渉化

    システム制御情報学会論文誌, 1, 3, 108, 116, 一般社団法人 システム制御情報学会, 1988年03月, [査読有り]
    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this paper, we study the block decoupling problem of nonlinear systems with Cω-Structures : x=f (x) +G (x) u, y=h (x). Inputs and outputs are divided into N blocks, respectively. First, we propose a new algorithm by which we can determine the maximal locally controlled invariant distribution contained in Ker dh. This algorithm is an extension of nonlinear structure algorithm extensively used in the input-output linearlization, and can be applied to systems which is not input-output linearlizable. Moreover, it has an advantage in that we need not integrate the distribution.
    Application of this algorithm to I-th output block yields a vector valued function zI(x).Then, the block decoupling problem is solvable if and only if each row of D(G)zI(x) is zero vector or is linearly independent of rows of other D(G)zJ(x)(J=1, …, N; IJ). The state feedback control law which accomplishes the block decoupling is derived from zI(x).

    山下 裕, 小林 孝一
    エネルギー消費最小の定常点と状態の目標値が一致しない場合の省エネルギーな最適制御問題を考え、入力コストを最小限の改変で状態量を含む関数とすることで、問題を定式化し漸近安定性を保証する非線形最適レギュレータを構築した。また、アクチュエータが待機パワーを必要とする場合、冗長入力系では状態量の値に応じて非効率なアクチュエータを休止させる動作が省エネルギーに寄与し、そのような動作を行う最適制御制御器設計法を提案した。さらに、出力値に応じたセンサー値の通信の一時停止を含む制御手法も提案した。

    プラント運転の異常対応時におけるヒューマンエラーを含むオペレータの行動を、認知情報処理モデルを用いたダイナミックシミュレーションによって理解し、適切な対策を考えるのに役立つ方法を開発することを目的とした本研究で、次の3つの成果を得た。1.心身状態を考慮した新しい認知情報処理モデル(オペレータモデル)をPC上に実装し、ボイラープラントのリアルタイムシミュレータと結合することによって、プラント運転やシミュレータトレーニングの現場で実際に観察されている状況を再現できるようにした。これによって、プラントの異常対応時に起こるヒューマンエラーの発生メカニズムを心身状態の変化を参考にしながら認知情報処理レベルで考察することが可能になった。2.認知情報処理モデルを仮想オペレータとして、プラント運転の基盤であるグラフィック画面の評価および改善に役立てる方法を提案した。これは画面設計者を支援する方法として使用できると共に、オペレータへの種々の支援を検討する際のツールとしても利用することができる。3.オペレータモデルを参考モデルとして、多くの自動車事故の原因となっているドライバの認知・判断エラーを考察するためのドライバモデルを提案した。このモデルを用いることによって、例えば、交差点進入行動を認知情報処理レベルで分解することできる。結果をチャートで表すことによって運転行動の違いを認知情報処理レベルで...

    1.不連続系に対するリアプノフの逆定理を整理し、シンプルな表現を与えた。それを漸近安定で不連続な同次系に対して用いた場合、同次なリアプノフ関数が得られることを明らかにした。また、同次リアプノフ関数の時間微分を計算することにより、不連続同次系においても同次次数によって収束速度が決定されることを示した。以上の結果を用い、高次スライディング制御系の有限整定性を証明した。2.代表的な非ホロノミック拘束を持つ系であるchained systemに対し、その部分システムに同次有限整定制御を用いることで、時不変不連続な有限整定制御則を導いた。切り替え則として同次な収束時間保証関数を用いているため制御系全体も同次系となり、数学的にも扱いやすい結果が得られた。実用的にも、局所有界な時不変入力で指数安定以上な制御系になっており、これまでにない優れた結果が得られている。チャタリングを防ぐために入力に同次ノルムを掛ける方法も提案した。また、この制御則を、最終的な滑り面に有限整定させるように考えることで、高次chained systemへ適用するように拡張した。また、上記の方法以外にも、非ホロノミック系に対して、微分不可能なリアプノフ関数を与えることで、ある種の有限整定性を持ち局所有界かつ指数安定となる制御則が得られることを示した。3.上記の不連続フィードバックによる非ホロノミック系の安定化制御則を、...

    科学研究費補助金(基盤研究(C))
    2000年 - 2002年
    山下 裕, 黒岡 武俊
    本研究では、微分・代数方程式(以下、DAE, differential-algebraic equation)で与えられた非線形システムの制御系設計問題について研究した。非線形の場合、線形のディスクリプタ形式と異なり行列演算だけで冗長度の無い常微分方程式系に変換することができず、非線形代数方程式を解いて冗長度を消去する作業は一般に困難である。そこで、本研究では非線形代数方程式を解くことなく、冗長度を持ったまま制御系設計を行う方法を示した。まず、index 1のDAEシステムに対し、入出力線形化・オブザーバ設計を行った。その際の大域的安定化条件を示した。そこでは冗長度が消えるように、オブザーバのダイナミクスにおいて代数方程式からなる不変多様体に有限時間整定する設計を採用した。次にhigh indexを持つ系に対し、インパルスモードを持つ場合を含めて、冗長な常微分方程式系に変換する方法を2つ示した。一つは、インパルスモードの数に応じた積分器を入力に付加し代数方程式を順次微分する方法である。もう一つは、状態フィードバックを用いるKumarらのrugularizingを改良した方法である。オブザーバを使う場合は、必然的に前者の方法を使わざるを得ない。これを用いてindex 1のDAEシステムと同様にhigh index DAEシステムに対し、入出力線形化・オブザーバ設計を行った。入出...

    これまで10極の脳波データを用いて人間の論理的思考状態を推定することをオフラインで行っていたが、これをオンラインで行うための基礎的検討を行った。まず、論理的思考を必要とする数学問題解答実験を使って、線形モデルよりもニューラルネットワークモデルの方が精度のよい推定ができることを確認した。次に、このモデルを用いてオンライン・リアルタイムで思考状態を推定するプロトタイプシステムを試作した。続いてこの装置を使って数学問題解答時の被験者の思考状態を推定した結果、3つのモードの正認識率および誤認識率の平均がそれぞれ68%と9%になった。これによって、リアルタイムで思考状態を測定することに目処をたてることができた。次に、より簡単に測定できる生理指標を用いて思考状態を測定する方法について検討した。脳波以外の生理指標として心電、瞬目、呼吸、発汗、脈波、体温のそれぞれについて思考状態との関係を調べた結果、心電、瞬目、呼吸曲線が使えることがわかった。しかし、思考状態のモードごとに推定精度のよい生理指標が異なることから、これら3種類の生理指標を併用する新しい複合モデルを考案した。この結果、被験者の日変化にも安定して、各モードについて60〜70%の精度で推定できることが確認できた。一方、シミュレーション環境における緊急対応訓練を収録したビデオ映像からオペレータの思考状態を判定する支援システムを開発した...

  • プラントワイド制御システムのモデリングとシミュレーション
    科学研究費補助金(基盤研究(C))
    1997年 - 1998年
    西谷 紘一, 北島 禎二, 黒岡 武俊, 山下 裕
    プラントワイド制御システムは連続制御システムおよびシーケンス制御システムから構成される。さらに通常はプラントオペレータがこの制御システムを使って監視操作を行っている。このような性質の異なる制御要素を含む運転制御システムを設計する際にはダイナミックシミュレーションによる特性評価が必要になる。このため平成9年度は、連続プロセス、離散事象、シーケンス制御を含むプラント全体のシミュレーションを実行するための系統的な方法について検討した。モデリングの基本的な考え方をまとめたあと、混合系のための汎用シミュレーションプログラムを開発した。平成10年度には、プラントワイドの制御システムの代表例として、パイプレスバッチプラントにおけるシステムの運用について考察した。各操作タスクを実行するステーションへ容器(槽)を移動させることによって、製品製造の各工程を順次実行するこの方式の運用(制御)のモデル化を行った。つづいて各設備の台数やレイアウト、移動槽の移動ルール、ジョブのスケジューリングなどの設計要素とプラントのパフォーマンスの関係を調べた。静的および動的要因が複雑に絡んだパイプレスバッチプラントの設計問題はプラントワイドの制御(運用)システムの設計でもある。このような設計問題に対して、設計案の提案とシミュレーションによる設計評価をくりかえす実用的なプラント設計手法を提案し、具体的にモデリング部、...

    1994年 - 1995年
    島 公脩, 川村 武, 山下 裕, 石動 善久
    本年度においては、以下のような成果を得た。1.出力フィードバックによる非線形H^∞制御を用いたモデル追従制御においては非標準H^∞問題を解かなければならない。本研究においては、非標準問題のうち、入力から出力までの直達項のランクがフルランクでない場合と、外乱から観測出力までの直達項のランクがフルランクでない場合の2つについて、十分条件を導いた。非標準問題においては、そのままでは平方完成の作業が不可能であり、Hamilton-Jacobi-Issacs偏微分不等式が定義できない。そこで、目標のL_2ゲインを達成するための散逸不等式に、未定関数を含んだ付加的な項を加え、直達項を見かけ上フルランクとした。その上で平方完成を行い、Hamilton-Jacobi-Issacs偏微分不等式を導いた。最後に、散逸不等式に加えた項が零となるように未定関数を決定し、非標準H^∞制御問題の十分条件・制御則が得られた。この手順のままでは、散逸不等式に加えた項の係数が微小という仮定が必要であるが、その仮定が不要であることも別に証明した。2.線形系に対してパラメータに関して非線形な摂動が加わった場合の系の特性多項式に着目し、安定性について考察した。まず写像定理を拡張し、パラメータに関する多重線形性の仮定を単調性にまで緩め、与えられたパラメータの範囲において系が安定となるための条件を求めた。また、単調性の...

    本研究では、以下の成果を得た。・正準方程式の安定多様体がハミルトン・ヤコビ偏微分方程式の解であることを利用し、時間軸を逆にとることによって、常微分方程式の数値解法に帰着させた。・上記の常微分方程式を数値的に解くにあたって、その初期点を与えるアルゴリズムを開発した。具体的には、初期サンプル点を一様に分布させ、安定多様体上の線形近似式を用いて原点近傍までシミュレートし、さらに安定多様体の1次近似を用いて2n次元の初期点を得る方法を開発した。原点近傍までの所要時間をもとに・得られた解曲線をBezier補間式で最小2乗近似し、状態量χの関数として表現した。その関数を用いて制御器を作ることが可能となった。・上記の手法を基に、購入したワークステーション上に、目的の解を高精度に得る解法パッケージを開発した。・本方法の特長の1つは、得られた解曲線の存在範囲によって、得られた解の有効な定義域が推定できることである。これは、原点でのTaylor展開による従来の方法ではできなかったことである。

    科学研究費補助金(奨励研究(A))
    1993年 - 1993年
    山下 裕
    本研究に関する研究実績は以下の通りである。1.遺伝的アルゴリズムを最適制御問題、特に最適特異制御問題の数値解法に応用した。最適制御問題の数値解法として幾つかの方法が知られているが、最適特異制御問題を解くことのできる方法は非常に少ない。本研究では、遺伝子上に幾つかの時間の点における入力の大きさをコーディングし、3次スプライン曲線でそれらをつないで、制御入力とした。最適制御においては、入力の関数が不連続となることが多いので、遺伝子上には不連続となる場所に関する情報も加えた。本研究では、槽式流通反応系の最適コスト問題に対し、これらの方法を適用したが、bang-bang制御の区間と最適特異軌道の区間が明確に現れ、良好な結果を得た。これらの成果に関して、現在、投稿準備中である。2.遺伝的アルゴリズムをファジイ制御に応用し、シミュレーションを繰り返すことによりファジイルールを自動生成する研究をおこなった。ファジィ制御の前件部の取りうるすべての組み合わせに対して、その後件部を遺伝子上にコーディングし、オフラインでシミュレーションを繰り返し遺伝的アルゴリズムを用いることで、ファジイルールを自動生成した。本研究では、この方法を車両の障害物回避問題に適用した。試行結果の評価値のみの情報で、ランダムなファジイルールが次第に、障害物を回避し目標に到達するように進化した。これらの成果に関しては、さらに...

    1991年 - 1992年
    島 公脩, 山下 裕, 石動 善久
    ベクトル場X=X_0+X_1u^1+…X_mu^mにより系の状態の多様体M上での挙動は表現され、制御入力u=(u^1,…,u^m)をある時間区間[t_0,t_1]において与えれば、系の状態の軌道は定まる。その軌道にそって、微分形式ωが取る値ω(X)を積分すると、この積分は系の出力、リヤプノフ関数、最適制御の評価関数を表現できる。この積分を制御径路積分あるいは略して径路積分と名づける。制御理論は径路積分の性質を研究し設計法を導き出す理論である。まず、この設定を時変的非線形系に拡張し、径路積分に部分積分公式を適用して、入出力関係の多項式表現を導き、積分順序の交換公式を用いて制御径路に沿ったFliess型表現および解析性の仮定のもとでFliessの関数項級数展開公式、Volterra級数型表現を導いた。多項式表現より制御径路に沿った設計条件を導出できる。つぎに、径路積分の出力可制御性の必要十分条件を導出した。その条件は強可到達性を表わす一連のベクトル場に沿っての微分形式ωのリイ微分により表現され、ωが完全微分ならば従来の条件と一致する。また、一般化Legendre-Clebschの条件の等式条件を用いると不変性の条件の導出が簡単になることがわかった。この等式条件はある微分形式が閉形式であることと同値である。経路積分を用いることは、系を余接バンドルとハミルトン形式を用いて表現すること...
