Barrier Lyapunov function-based adaptive prescribed performance control of the PMSM used in robots with full-state and input constraints

Abstract

The permanent magnet synchronous motor is extensively used in robots due to its superior performances. However, robots mostly operate in unstructured and dynamically changing environments. Therefore, it is urgent and challenging to achieve high-performance control with high security and reliability. This paper investigates an accelerated adaptive fuzzy neural prescribed performance controller for the PMSM to solve chaotic oscillations, prescribed output performance constraint, full-state constraints, input constraints, uncertain time delays, and unknown external disturbances. First, for ensuring the permanent magnet synchronous motor with higher security, faster response speed, and lower tracking error simultaneously, a novel unified prescribed performance log-type barrier Lyapunov function is proposed to handle both prescribed output performance constraint and full-state constraints. Subsequently, a continuous differentiable constraint function-based model is introduced for solving input constraints nonlinearity. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions are utilized to compensate the uncertain time delays. Besides, a type-2 sequential fuzzy neural network is exploited to approximate unknown nonlinearities and unknown gain. For the “explosion of complexity” associated with backstepping, a tracking differentiator is integrated into this controller. Furthermore, a speed function is introduced in the backstepping technique for accelerated convergence. On the basis of above works, the accelerated adaptive backstepping controller is achieved. And the presented controller can ensure that all the closed-loop signals are ultimate boundedness, and all state variables are restricted in the prespecified regions and the permanent magnet synchronous motor successfully escapes from chaotic oscillations. Finally, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
