    Robust Dynamic Positioning of Surface Vessels Via Multiple Unidirectional Tugboats
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Bıdıklı, Barış; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan
    In this paper, the problem of accurate positioning of an unactuated surface vessel by using multiple uni-directional tugboats is investigated. Specifically a robust controller that ensures asymptotic position tracking is designed. The control design procedure is implemented in two steps: Initially by locating opposing tugboats to specific configurations, the overall problem is transformed into a second order system with an uncertain non-symmetric input gain matrix. Then via a matrix decomposition, a novel robust controller methodology is proposed. The stability of the overall system is ensured via rigorous stability analysis where asymptotic position tracking is ensured. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed controller.

    An Asymptotically Stable Robust Controller Formulation for a Class of Mimo Nonlinear Systems With Uncertain Dynamics
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016) Bıdıklı, Barış; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Bayrak, Alper
    In this work, we present a novel continuous robust controller for a class of multi-input/multi-output nonlinear systems that contains unstructured uncertainties in their drift vectors and input matrices. The proposed controller compensates uncertainties in the system dynamics and achieves asymptotic tracking while requiring only the knowledge of the sign of the leading principal minors of the input gain matrix. A Lyapunov-based argument backed up with an integral inequality is applied to prove the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the viability of the proposed method.

    A self tuning RISE controller formulation
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Bıdıklı, Barış; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan
    In recent years, controller formulations using robust integral of sign of error (RISE) type feedback have been successfully applied to a variety of nonlinear dynamical systems. The drawback of these type of controllers however, are (i) the need of prior knowledge of the upper bounds of the system uncertainties and (ii) the absence of a proper gain tuning methodology. To tackle the aforementioned weaknesses, in our previous work [1] we have presented a RISE formulation with a time-varying compensation gain to cope for the need of upper bound of the uncertain system. In this study, we have extended our previous design to obtain a fully self tuning RISE feedback formulation. Lyapunov based arguments are applied to prove overall system stability and extensive numerical simulation studies are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. © 2014 American Automatic Control Council.
