In this paper, a decentralized adaptive controller is proposed to control robot manipulators which are governed by highly nonlinear dynamic equations. The controller is computationally efficient since it does not require mathematical model or parameter values of robot manipulators. The stability of the manipulators with the controller is proved by Lyapunov theory. The results of numerical simulations show that the system is stable, and has excellent trajectory tracking performance.

The paper describes some of the challenges that face the control of nonlinear interconnected power systems. The challenges include the selection of appropriate control and information structures that could range from a completely decentralized to a fully centralized structure. Once a structure is proven to be feasible, the effectiveness of control signals needs to be assessed. Analytical tools are derived for this purpose in the first part of the paper, and they are illustrated with a case study that involves the design of a damping decentralized controller using a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensation device. The second part of the paper deals with the load following and tracking problem through automatic generation control for a system that has been re-structured or deregulated. This problem can be solved using a completely decentralized scheme. It is solved here using fuzzy rules and with an emphasis on compliance with NERC's standards and reduction of wear and tear of the equipment. It is illustrated with a test system that has three interconnected control areas. Finally, comments on the economics of control and the author's vision are presented.

This paper deals with the design of the adaptive controller using a decentralized control for Large-Scale system formed of an arbitrary interconnection of subsystem with unknown parameters, non linearity and bounded disturbance. In order to reduce the load and frequency deviations, now decentralized adaptive controllers are developed for stabilization and tracking the parameters. In the simulation studies of the decentralized adaptive control of a two-area interconnected power system, the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive is demonstrated.

This paper proposes a RBFNN(Radial Basis Function Neural Network) based decentralized adaptive tracking control scheme using PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) for an uncertain electrically driven robot system with input saturation. Practically, the magnitudes of input voltage and current signals are limited due to the saturation of actuators in robot systems. The proposed controller overcomes this input saturation and does not require any robot link and actuator model parameters. The fitness function used in the presented PSO scheme is expressed as a multi-objective function including the magnitudes of voltages and currents as well as the tracking errors. Using a PSO scheme, the control gains and the number of the RBFs are tuned automatically and thus the performance of the control system is improved. The stability of the total control system is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability analysis. The validity and robustness of the proposed control scheme are verified through simulation results.

The new field of learning control develops controllers that learn to improve their performance at executing a given task, based on experience performin this specific task. In a previous work［6］, the authors presented a theory of indirect learning control based on use of indirect adaptive control concepts employing simultaneous identification ad control. This paper develops improved indirect learning control algorithms, and studies the use of such controllers in decentralized systems. The original motivation of the learning control field was learning in robots doing repetitive tasks such as on an assembly line. This paper starts with decentralized discrete time systems, and progresses to the robot application, modeling the robot as a time varying linear system in the neighborhood of the nominal trajectory, and using the usual robot controllers that are decentralized, treating each link as if it is independent of any coupling with other links. The basic result of the paper is to show that stability of the indirect learning controllers for all subsystems when the coupling between subsystems is turned off, assures convergence to zero tracking error of the decentralized indirect learning control of the coupled system, provided that the sample time in the digital learning controller is sufficiently short.

For the purpose of the good tracking to variable load demands of the thermal power plant, a decentralized multilevel control(DMC) scheme is presented. It is applied to the drum type boiler-turbine system which is simplified from Boryung T/P #1,2 model[4]. A linearized model is decomposed into three subsystems by means of linear transformation. Then the DMC based on such subsystem is designed. Simulation using Matlab-Simulink shows that the proposed algorithm works very well to the large step change of power demand.

Automatic guided vehicle(AGV) in the factory has an important role to advance the flexible manufacturing system. In this paper, we propose a novel object-transportation control algorithm of cooperative AGV systems to apply decentralized control scheme based on virtual-passivity. It is shown that the cooperative AGV systems ensure stability and the convergence to scaled multiple of each desired velocity field for multiple AGV systems. Finally, the application of proposed virtual passivity-based decentralized control algorithm via system augmentation is applied to be the tracking a circle. Also. the simulation results for the object-transportation by two AGV systems illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme.

Decentralized model reference adaptive controller is used to control interconnected system. Influences caused by interactions between each subsystem are regarded as unmodeled dynamics or disturbances, thus decentralized adaptive controller is designed using MRAC algorithms which guarantees robustness. To expand the stability regions of over all system and to improve control performances, higher level controller is introduced to adjust the control factors such as filter band, size of deadzone or maximum norm of parameter. Local controllers for each subsystem are realized in real time and higher level controller has an ability of detecting the instability phenomena and adjusts the local controller by analysis of power spectrum or square sum of tracking errors.

This paper proposes about decentralized control approach based Leader-Follower formation control using LOS (Line of Sight) algorithm and unknown input observer. The position of robots which is a basic information in multi-robot or single robot motion control is determined by localization algorithm fusing UPS (Ultrasonic Position System) and kinematics model. For formation control, a decentralized control approach individually installing a local controller in leader and follower robot is adopted. Leader robot is controlled to track a specified trajectory by LOS algorithm, and the other robots follow the leader by local controller based on tracking platoon level function, self-sensing data and estimated information from unknown input observer. The performance of proposed method is proven through the formation experiment of two vehicle models.
