This paper considers a robust decentralized $H_\infty$ control problem for uncertain large-scale interconnected systems. The uncertainties are assumed to be time-invariant, norm-bounded, and exist in subsystems. A design method based on the bounded real lemma is developed for a dynamic output feedback controller, which is reduced to a feasibility problem for a nonlinear matrix inequality (NMI). It is proposed to solve the NMI iteratively by the idea of homotopy, where some of the variables are fixed alternately on each iteration to reduce the NMI to a linear matrix inequality (LMI). A decentralized controller for the nominal system is computed first by imposing structural constraints on the coefficient matrices gradually. Then, the decentralized controller is modified again gradually to cope with the uncertainties. A given example shows the efficiency of this method.

In mobile robot navigation, one of the key problems is the pose estimation of the mobile robot. Although the odometry can be used to describe the motions of the mobile robots quite simple and accurately, the validities of the models are limited by a number of error sources contaminating the encoder outputs so that applying the conventional extended Kalman filter to these nominal model does not yield the satisfactory performance. As a remedy for this problem, we consider the uncertain nonlinear kinematic model of the mobile robot that contains the norm bounded uncertainties and also propose a new robust extended Kalman filter based on the Krein space approach. The proposed robust filter has the same recursive structure as the conventional extended Kalman filter and can hence be readily designed to effectively account for the uncertainties. The computer simulations will be given to verify the robustness against the parameter variation as well as the reliable performance of the proposed robust filter.

This paper considers a design problem of the repetitive control system for linear systems with time-varying norm bounded uncertainties. Using the Lyapunov functional for time-delay systems, a sufficient condition ensuring robust stability of the repetitive control system is derived in terms of an algebraic Riccati inequality (ARI) or a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Based on the derived condition, we show that the repetitive controller design problem can be reformulated as an optimization problem with an LMI constraint on the free parameter.

In this paper, the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem is studied for a class of linear large-scale systems with uncertainties and a given quadratic cost functions. The uncertainty in the system is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying. Also, the state-feedback gains for subsystems of the large-scale system are assumed to have norm-bounded controller gain variations. The problem is to design a state feedback control laws such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties and controller gain variations. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers are derived based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach combined with the Lyapunov method. A parameterized characterization of the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost controllers is given in terms of the feasible solutions to a certain LMI. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.

In this paper, we develope a composite control law for linear systems with norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties, which consists of a basic linear robust control do-signed so as to generate a desired transient time-response for the worst-case parameter variation and a nonlinear modification term designed so as to reduce cautiousness of the linear robust control in an adaptive manner. The proposed controller is established such that the reduction of cautiousness of the linear robust control is well incorporated into the achievement of a good transient behavior.

This paper tackles the problem of designing a dynamic output-feedback control for linear discrete-time norm-bounded uncertain systems with input saturation. By employing a LPV (Linear Parameter Varying) instead of LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) control, the useful information on interpolation parameters appearing in the procedure of representing saturation nonlinearity as a convex polytope is additionally applied in the control design procedure. By solving the addressed problem that can be recast into a convex optimization problem characterized by LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) with one prescribed scalar, the vertices of convex set containing an LPV output-feedback control gain and the associated maximal invariant set of initial states are simultaneously obtained.

In this paper, an adaptive robust nonlinear predictive controller is developed for the continuous time nonlinear systems whose control objective is composed of the system output and its desired value. The basic control law is derived from the continuous time prediction model and its feedback dynamcis shows another from if input and output linearization. In order to cope with the parameter uncertainty, robust control is incorporated into the basic control law and the asymptotic convergence of tracking error to a certain bounded region is guaranteed. For stability and performance improvement within the bounded region, an adaptive control is introduced. Simulation tests for the motion control of an underwater wall-ranging robot confirm the performance improvement and the robustness of this controller.

An adaptive control scheme is presented for uncertain systems whose uncertainties are upper-bounded by a linear combination of unknown constants and known continuous functions. The state of the closed-loop system is proven to be ultimately bounded. The proposed method modifies the method of Corless and Leitmann in the following two respects. First, the linear region of the saturation function in controller is fixed. Second, the intergration from in parameter estimator is replaced by a low pass filter form. These modifications prevent performance degradation and destabilization of the control system more effectively. The norm of the system states can be made sufficiently small by an appropriate choice of design parameters in the control law. The applicability of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in the position control of a simple pendulum via simulation.

In this paper, a design method of a controller is presented for a class of nonlinear systems which have time-varying parametric uncertainly. Some features of this controller are that it can tackle 1) nonlinear parametrization(i.e. uncertain parameters enter the system in the nonlinear form) and 2) nonvanishing peturbation (i.e. uncertainty need not vanish at the origin). The class of systems considered in this paper has the triangular structure for which the well-known backstepping design can be applied. The uncertain parameter is assumed to be contained in the bounded set whose size can be arbitrarily large. Also, the uncertain system are globally uniformly bounded and converge to a compact set whose size is designable. In particular, the first state of the system can be made arbitrarily small, which can be seen by the presented simulation result.

We present a robust and reliable H$\infty$ state-feedback controller design for linear uncertain systems, which have norm-bounded time-varying uncertainty in the state matrix, and their prespecified sets of actuators are susceptible to failure. These controllers should guarantee robust stability of the systems and H$\infty$ norm bound against parameter uncertainty and/or actuator failures. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, two state-feedback controller design methods are constructed by formulating to a set of LMIs corresponding to all failure cases or a single LMI that covers all failure cases, with an additional costraint. Effectiveness and geometrical property of these controllers are validated via several numerical examples. Furthermore, the proposed LMI frameworks can be applied to multiobjective problems with additional constraints.
