4 Robust Fast Adaptation: the key to safe flight Predictable :: Repeatable :: Testable :: Safe Control law objectives: Keep aircraft in the wind tunnel data envelope (accurate models) Is A/C controllable here? Eventually, return to normal flight envelope Control actions within 2-4 seconds of failure onset are critical: Need for transient performance guarantees Predictable response Need for fast adaptation Source: NASA Failure of conventional adaptive control (limited to slow adaptation)
5 Main Features of L 1 Adaptive Control Separation between adaptation and robustness Performance limitations reduced to hardware limitations Guaranteed robustness with fast adaptation Guaranteed transient response for input and output NOT achieved via high-gain feedback or persistence of excitation or gain-scheduling or control reconfiguration Guaranteed (bounded away from zero) time-delay margin Uniform scaled transient response dependent on changes in initial conditions, uncertainties, and reference inputs Verifiable software with computationally predictable numerical characteristics Systematic design guidelines suitable for flight verification Suitable for development of theoretically justified Verification & Validation tools for feedback systems
6 NASA Langley AirSTAR :: Generic Transport Model High-risk flight conditions, some unable to be tested in target application environment. 5.5 % geometrically and dynamically scaled model 82in wingspan, 96in length, 49.6 lbs (54 lbs full), 53 mph stall speed Model angular response is 4.26 faster than full scale Model velocity is 4.26 times slower than regular scale

21 Closing the Certification Gaps (I) From : Closing the Certification Gaps in Adaptive Flight Control Software Jacklin, 2008 Verification, Validation, and Certification Challenges for Adaptive Flight-Critical Control Systems Software Jacklin et al., 2004 [ ] the Lyapunov analysis only guarantees the ultimate stability of the learning algorithm; the proof does not guarantee how fast the system returns to the origin. Ultimate boundedness and asymptotic convergence are weak properties for (nonlinear) adaptive closed-loop systems. L1 achieves guaranteed uniform transient and steady-state performance. This is an important point for system performance, because if learning happens too slowly, an adaptive controller may be rendered ineffective for the control task at hand. Fast adaptation -only limited by hardware- allows for compensation of undesirable effects of rapidly varying uncertainties and significant changes in system dynamics. Yet another gap is that methods to find acceptable gains for stable learning must be found other than the time intensive and error process. Adaptation rate set as fast as hardware permits. Conventional tools and methods from classical and robust control can be applied to tune the LINEAR filter of L1 architectures.
22 Closing the Certification Gaps (and II) From : Closing the Certification Gaps in Adaptive Flight Control Software Jacklin, 2008 Verification, Validation, and Certification Challenges for Adaptive Flight-Critical Control Systems Software Jacklin et al., 2004 A persistent excitation signal added to the control signal yields more convergent learning, but at the expense of poorer steady-state controller performance. With an adaptive system [ ] test inputs might provide the excitation needed for better learning and adaptation that might not be available to the fielded system. Guaranteed performance of L1 does not rely on persistence of excitation assumptions or on the injection of persistently exciting signals. Closed-loop response does not depend on the nature of the external inputs. Fast adaptation is the key for predictability and repeatability. On-line adaptation of network connection weights makes it impossible to predict, in a deterministic sense, the future form of the neural network mapping. [ ] the computation time was affected by the number of connections between nodes [of the NN]. [ ] With all this variability, it proved difficult challenge to validate the worstcase computation time required for this type of neural network. Fast adaptation allows for control of time-varying nonlinear systems by adapting two parameters only. No need to resort to neural networks. Deterministic control algorithm.
23 L 1 adaptive control architectures: Performance and robustness guarantees Systematic design guidelines Conclusions Computationally predictable characteristics Design of robust adaptive flight control systems: Single design for the entire flight envelope (including stall and post-stall conditions) without Gain-scheduling/Persistency of excitation/control reconfiguration/high-gain feedback Compensation for structural damage and actuator failures without FDI methods Consistent results from platform to platform, as predicted by theory Implementation as an all-adaptive controller or as an augmentation loop for baseline controllers 2 successful flights with NASA s GTM T2 and over 100 successful flights with NPS Suitable for development of theoretically justified Verification & Validation tools for feedback systems
24 Real Alternative to Gain-Scheduling Günter Stein (1980s): The main point made is that for conventional flight control problems, adaptive control is the losing alternative in a historical competition with explicit airdata-scheduling. L1 Adaptive Control represents the first step towards a real alternative to gain-scheduled controllers!
