Precise Positioning of Nonsmooth Dynamic Systems Using Fuzzy Wavelet Echo State Networks and Dynamic Surface Sliding Mode Control

TLDR: A precise positioning robust hybrid intelligent control scheme based on the effective compensation of nonsmooth nonlinearities, such as friction, deadzone, and uncertainty in a dynamic system is presented.

Abstract: This paper presents a precise positioning robust hybrid intelligent control scheme based on the effective compensation of nonsmooth nonlinearities, such as friction, deadzone, and uncertainty in a dynamic system. A new adaptive fuzzy wavelet echo state network algorithm is proposed to improve performance in terms of approximating unknown uncertainties in conventional neural network algorithms. A strict feedback controller and adaptive laws for estimating the unknown friction and deadzone parameters were developed using the recursive steps of dynamic surface control and a sliding mode control based on Lyapunov stability theory. Lyapunov stability analysis confirmed the boundedness and convergence of the closed-loop system. The performance of the proposed control scheme was validated experimentally by applying it to the precise positional control of a robot manipulator.
