This paper is concerned with the design of non-fragile H∞ output feedback control of a high-performance aircraft similar to F-16 in executing a large bank-angle tracking manoeuvre. The non-fragile H∞ flight controllers are designed to tolerate multiplicative gain variations in the controller matrices. The designs are based on three linear trim models of the high-performance aircraft. From the linear and non-linear simulations, the results show that the resulting closed-loop systems using the non-fragile H∞ flight controllers are robustly stable and have H∞ disturbance attenuation bounds with respect to some admissible controller gain variations. Corresponding performance comparisons with the standard robust design approach show that the resulting closed-loop systems using the standard H∞ flight controllers are unstable under the same controller gain variations.

This paper presents a new design of omnidirectional automatic guided vehicle based on a hub motor, and proposes a joint controller for path tracking. The proposed controller includes two parts: a fuzzy controller and a multi-step predictive optimal controller. Firstly, based on various steering conditions, the kinematics model of the whole vehicle and the pose (position, angle) model in the global coordinate system are introduced. Secondly, based on the modeling, the joint controller is designed. Lateral deviation and course deviation are used as the input variables of the control system, and the threshold value is switched according to the value of the input variable to realise the correction of the large range of posture deviation. Finally, the joint controller is implemented by using the industrial PC and the self-developed control system based on the Freescale minimum system. Path tracking experiments were made under the straight and circular paths to test the ability of the joint controller for reducing the pose deviation. The experimental results show that the designed guided vehicle has excellent ability to path tracking, which meets the design goals.
