A Constrained Tracking Controller for Ramp and Sinusoidal Reference Signals using Robust Positive Invariance (2403.08987v2)
Abstract: This paper proposes an output feedback controller capable of ensuring steady-state offset-free tracking for ramp and sinusoidal reference signals while ensuring local stability and state and input constraints fulfiLLMent. The proposed solution is derived by jointly exploiting the internal model principle, polyhedral robust positively invariant arguments, and the Extended Farkas' Lemma. In particular, by considering a generic class of output feedback controller equipped with a feedforward term, a proportional effect, and a double integrator, we offline design the controller's gains by means of a single bilinear optimization problem. A peculiar feature of the proposed design is that the sets of all the admissible reference signals and the plant's initial conditions are also offline determined. Simulation results are provided to testify to the effectiveness of the proposed tracking controller and its capability to deal with both state and input constraints.
