This paper focuses on the construction of differential-cascaded structures for control of nonlinear robot manipulators subjected to disturbances and unavailability of partial information of the desired trajectory. The proposed differential-cascaded structures rely on infinite differential series to handle the robustness with respect to time-varying disturbances and the partial knowledge of the desired trajectories for nonlinear robot manipulators. The long-standing problem of reliable adaptation in the presence of sustaining disturbances is solved by the proposed forwardstepping control with forwardstepping adaptation, and stacked reference dynamics yielding adaptive differential-cascaded structures have been proposed to facilitate the forwardstepping adaptation to both the uncertainty of robot dynamics and that of the frequencies of disturbances. A distinctive point of the proposed differential-cascaded approach is that the reference dynamics for design and analysis involve high-order quantities, but via degree-reduction implementation of the reference dynamics, the control typically involves only the low-order quantities, thus facilitating its applications to control of most physical systems. Our result relies on neither the explicit estimation of the disturbances or derivative and second derivative of the desired position nor the solutions to linear/nonlinear regulator equations, and the employed essential element is a differential-cascaded structure governing robot dynamics.

This paper investigates adaptive control of nonlinear robot manipulators with parametric uncertainty. Motivated by generating closed-loop robot dynamics with enhanced transmission capability of a reference torque and with connection to linear dynamics, we develop a new adaptive approach by exploiting forwardstepping design and inertia invariance, yielding differential-cascaded closed-loop dynamics. With the proposed approach, we propose a new class of adaptive controllers for nonlinear robot manipulators. Our particular study concerning adaptive control of robots exhibits a design methodology towards establishing the connection between adaptive control of highly nonlinear uncertain systems (e.g., with a variable inertia matrix) and linear dynamics (typically with the same or increased order), which is a long-standing intractable issue in the literature.
This paper focuses on developing a new paradigm motivated by investigating the consensus problem of networked Lagrangian systems with time-varying delay and switching topologies. We present adaptive controllers with piecewise continuous or arbitrary times differentiable control torques for realizing consensus of Lagrangian systems, extending the results in the literature. This specific study motivates the formulation of a new paradigm referred to as forwardstepping, which is shown to be a systematic tool for solving various nonlinear control problems. One distinctive point associated with forwardstepping is that the order of the reference dynamics is typically specified to be equal to or higher than that of the original nonlinear system, and the reference dynamics and the nonlinear system are governed by a differential/dynamic-cascaded structure. The order invariance or increment of the specified reference dynamics with respect to the nonlinear system and their differential/dynamic-cascaded structure expands significantly the design freedom and thus facilitates the seeking of solutions to many nonlinear control problems which would otherwise often be intractable.
In this paper, we investigate the adaptive control problem for robot manipulators with both the uncertain kinematics and dynamics. We propose two adaptive control schemes to realize the objective of task-space trajectory tracking irrespective of the uncertain kinematics and dynamics. The proposed controllers have the desirable separation property, and we also show that the first adaptive controller with appropriate modifications can yield improved performance, without the expense of conservative gain choice. The performance of the proposed controllers is shown by numerical simulations.
A structured preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) solver is developed for the Newton steps in second-order methods for a class of constrained network optimal control problems. Of specific interest are problems with discrete-time dynamics arising from the path-graph interconnection of $N$ heterogeneous sub-systems. The computational complexity of each PGC step is shown to be $O(NT)$, where $T$ is the length of the time horizon. The proposed preconditioning involves a fixed number of block Jacobi iterations per PCG step. A decreasing analytic bound on the effective conditioning is given in terms of this number. The computations are decomposable across the spatial and temporal dimensions of the optimal control problem, into sub-problems of size independent of $N$ and $T$. Numerical results are provided for a mass-spring-damper chain.
This paper presents a control reconfiguration approach to improve the performance of two classes of dynamical systems. Motivated by recent research on re-engineering cyber-physical systems, we propose a three-step control retrofit procedure. First, we reverse-engineer a dynamical system to dig out an optimization problem it actually solves. Second, we forward-engineer the system by applying a corresponding faster algorithm to solve this optimization problem. Finally, by comparing the original and accelerated dynamics, we obtain the implementation of the redesigned part (the extra dynamics). As a result, the convergence rate/speed or transient behavior of the given system can be improved while the system control structure is maintained. Internet congestion control and distributed proportional-integral (PI) control, as applications in the two different classes of target systems, are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
