Robust kernel-based model reference adaptive control for unstable aircraft

In this article, a robust kernel-based model reference adaptive control is proposed for an unstable nonlinear aircraft. The heart of the proposed kernel-based model reference adaptive control scheme comprises an offline neural identifier and an online neural controller. In the offline neural identifier, the kernel-based unified extreme learning machine algorithm is used to identify the aircraft model with the available input–output data in a finite time interval. The finite time interval is selected to avoid the response of the unstable aircraft growing unbounded. In the kernel-based unified extreme learning machine, the hidden layer feature mapping is determined by the kernel matrix. However, the unified extreme learning machine is a batch learning algorithm and is not suitable for the online control learning. To solve the problem, a recursive version of the unified extreme learning machine is developed in this study. Based on a given reference model and the identified model, the recursive version of the unified extreme learning machine algorithm is applied to construct the online control law to compensate for the changes in the aircraft dynamics or characteristics. The performance of the proposed kernel-based model reference adaptive control scheme is validated through the simulation studies of a locally nonlinear longitudinal high-performance aircraft. Simulation studies are also compared with a model reference adaptive control based on the back-propagation algorithm and a model reference adaptive control based on the basic extreme learning machine algorithm in terms of the identification and tracking abilities. The results show that the proposed kernel-based model reference adaptive control can achieve better identification and tracking performance.
