This paper presents a modified structure of the backstepping nonlinear control of the induction motor (IM) fitted with an adaptive backstepping speed observer. The control design is based on the backstepping technique complemented by the introduction of integral tracking errors action to improve its robustness. Unlike other research performed on backstepping control with integral action, the co...

Locomotion and control of legged robots is currently an issue of active research within the robotics community. Since the legs themselves are inspired by nature, one might also look to a biological example in order to develop a scheme for controlling the legged design. This ideology of using natural examples for engineering design is referred to as functional biomimesis [KKFK01]. Two biological...

Backstepping control technique is a Lyapunov based nonlinear robust technique which is applicable to only strict feedback system. Backstepping technique has been applied on linear inverted pendulum which is under actuated system. Inverted pendulum is swung from its pendant position and stabilized at its upright position. Swing up is achieved by nonlinear backstepping controller but the linear i...

An adaptive backstepping sliding mode controller. wluch combincs both the merits of adaptive backstepping control and sliding mode control, is proposed to control the mover position of a linear induction motor (LIM) drive to compensate for the uncertainties including the friction force. First, the dynamic model of an indirect field-oriented LIM drive is derived. Then, a backstepping sliding mod...

In this paper, an adaptive backstepping control system with a fuzzy integral action is proposed to control the mover position of a linear induction motor (LIM) drive. First, the indirect field oriented control LIM is derived. Then, an integral backstepping design for indirect field oriented control of LIM is proposed to compensate the uncertainties which occur in the control. Finally, the adapt...

This paper deals with the nonlinear control of a three-state continuous-stirred tank system (CSTR) using the backstepping technique. A nonlinear state transformation is introduced so that the backstepping technique could be utilized on the transformed system. The backstepping controller is first designed for the nominal CSTR system. Then an augmented backstepping control law is designed for the...

Backstepping Control Design and Its Applications to Vehicle Lateral Control in Automated Highway Systems by Chieh Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Mechanical Engineering University of California at Berkeley Professor Masayoshi Tomizuka, Chair In this dissertation the e ort is to explore new aspects of recursive backstepping design methodology from both theoretical and application point ...

This study deals with the control chaos using generalized backstepping method. This new method to control nonlinear systems was called generalized backstepping method because of its similarity to backstepping but its abilities to control more systems than backstepping. Generalized backstepping approach consists of parameters which accept positive values. The parameters are usually chosen option...

This paper proposes a high-precision intelligent adaptive backstepping control system (HPIABCS) for the position control of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo drive. The HPIABCS incorporates an ideal backstepping controller, a dynamic recurrent-fuzzy-wavelet-neural-network (DRFWNN) uncertainty observer and a robust H∞ controller. First, a backstepping position controller is designe...
