To improve the tracking stability control of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), an intelligent control algorithm was proposed on the basis of an optimized radial basis function (RBF) neural network. The design process was as follows. First, the adaptation value and mutation probability were modified to improve the traditional optimization algorithm. Then, the improved genetic algorithms (GA) were used to optimize the network parameters online to improve their approximation performance. Additionally, the RBF neural network was used to approximate the function uncertainties of the USV motion system to eliminate the chattering caused by the uninterrupted switching of the sliding surface. Finally, an intelligent control law was introduced based on the sliding mode control with the Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation tests showed that the intelligent control algorithm can effectively guarantee the control accuracy of USVs. In addition, a comparative study with the sliding mode control algorithm based on an RBF network and fuzzy neural network showed that, under the same conditions, the stabilization time of the intelligent control system was 33.33% faster, the average overshoot was reduced by 20%, the control input was smoother, and less chattering occurred compared to the previous two attempts.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to design an intelligent controller of ship motion based on sliding mode control with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm and expansion observer. First, the improved genetic algorithm based on the distributed genetic algorithm with adaptive fitness and adaptive mutation was used to automatically optimize the RBF neural network. Then, with the compensation designed by the RBF neural network, anti-saturation control was realized. Additionally, the intelligent control algorithm was introduced by Sliding Mode Control (SMC) with the stability theory. A comparative study of sliding mode control integrated with the RBF neural network and proportional–integral–derivative control combined with the fuzzy optimization model showed that the stabilization time of the intelligent control system was 43.75% faster and the average overshoot was reduced by 52% compared with the previous two attempts. Background: It was known that the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control and self-adaptation control cannot really solve the problems of frequent disturbance from external wind and waves, as well as the problems with ship nonlinearity and input saturation. So, the previous ship motion controller should be transformed by advanced intelligent technology, on the basis of referring to the latest relevant patent design methods. Objective: An intelligent controller of ship motion was designed based on optimized Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) in the presence of non-linearity, uncertainty, and limited input. Methods: The previous ship motion controller was remodeled based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC) with RBFNN optimized by improved genetic algorithm and expansion observer. The intelligent control algorithm integrated with genetic neural network solved the problem of system model uncertainty, limited control input, and external interference. Distributed genetic with adaptive fitness and adaptive mutation method guaranteed the adequacy of search and the global optimal convergence results, which enhanced the approximation ability of RBFNN. With the compensation designed by the optimized RBFNN, it was realized anti-saturation control. The chattering caused by external disturbance in SMC controller was reduced by the expansion observer. Results: A comparative study with RBFNN-SMC control and fuzzy-PID control, the stabilization time of the intelligent control system was 43.75% faster, the average overshoot was reduced by 52%, compared to the previous two attempts. Conclusion: The intelligent control algorithm succeed in dealing with the problems of nonlinearity, uncertainty, input saturation, and external interference. The intelligent control algorithm can be applied into research and development ship steering system, which would be created a new patent.

To achieve the tracing control of a three-links spatial robot, a adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller based on radial basis function neural network is proposed in this paper. The exponential sliding mode controller is divided into two parts: equivalent part and exponential corrective part. To realize the control without the model information of the system, a radial basis function neural network is designed to estimate the equivalent part. To diminish the chattering, a fuzzy controller is designed to adjust the corrective part according to sliding surface. The simulation studies have been carried out to show the tracking performance of a three-links spatial robot. Simulation results show the validity of the control scheme.

Mặc dù được sử dụng rộng rãi trong công nghiệp, nhưng với tham số cố định, bộ điều khiển tích phân tỷ lệ PI (proportional integral controller) khó thích ứng với sự thay đổi của điều kiện thực tế. Trong khi đó, điều khiển trượt (sliding mode control – SMC) cho đáp ứng ổn định trên các đối tượng phi tuyến, nhưng lại tồn tại một số hạn chế. Bài báo này đề xuất giải pháp kết hợp giữa điều khiển PI và SMC thích nghi dựa trên mạng neuron hàm cơ sở xuyên tâm RBF (radial basis function neural network), gọi tắt là điều khiển PI-SMC. Nguyên tắc kết hợp này là tận dụng ưu điểm thích nghi, bền vững của bộ SMC để khắc phục hạn chế của bộ điều khiển PI, đồng thời sử dụng bộ PI mang năng lượng chủ đạo để đẩy bộ SMC nhanh chóng hội tụ về mặt trượt. Bộ điều khiển PI-SMC được kiểm nghiệm trên thiết bị ổn định lưu lượng RT020 của hãng Gunt-Hamburg. Kết quả cũng cho giá trị khởi tạo của bộ RBF và hệ số mặt trượt ảnh hưởng lớn đến chất lượng điều khiển. Thực nghiệm cũng cho thấy cơ chế trượt thích nghi có thể khắc phục được hạn chế cố định tham số của bộ PI. Với giá trị khởi tạo của bộ tham số được chọn, bộ điều khiển PI-SMC đã cải thiện tốt đáp ứng lưu lượng trên hệ RT020 với độ vọt lố nhỏ hơn 5 (%), thời gian xác lập nhỏ hơn 2 (giây) và sai số xác lập nhỏ hơn 0,3 (lít/giờ).

In the process of ship navigation, due to the characteristics of large inertia and large time delay, overshoot can easily occur in the process of path following. Once the ship deviates from the waypoint, it is prone to grounding and collision. Considering this problem, a sliding mode control algorithm based on position prediction using the radial basis function (RBF) neural network is proposed. The desired heading angle is designed according to a backstepping algorithm. The hyperbolic tangent function is used to design the sliding surface, and the course is controlled by sliding mode control. The second-order Taylor expansion is used to predict the future position, the current error and future error functions are constructed, and the total errors are fed back to the desired heading angle. In the sliding mode control system, the RBF neural network is used to approximate the total unknown term, and a velocity observer is introduced to obtain the surge velocity and sway velocity. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, the mathematical model group (MMG) model is used for simulation. The simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the designed controller. Therefore, the RBF neural network sliding mode controller based on predicted position has robustness for ship path following.
