Adaptive Dynamic Surface Control for Servo System Driven by Twin Motors With Unknown Actuator Failures

Adaptive backstepping control is an effective method for servo system driven by twin motors with unknown actuator failures, however, problems such as explosion of complexity make it can not be used in the actual control systems. In this paper, an algorithm of adaptive dynamic surface control is proposed for servo system driven by twin motors with unknown actuator failures, which can eliminate the expansion of the differential term and simplify calculations in the controller design. In addition, all parameters and disturbances in the system model are unknown, which require to be identified online. The simulation results also provided in order to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
