In this paper, a robust control method based on the uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE) is developed to achieve the attitude tracking control for a quadrotor. To facilitate the control design, the coupled terms in the roll, pitch and yaw dynamics are lumped into the uncertainty term and the remained dynamics can be regarded as decoupled subsystems. As a result, for each subsystem, the lumped uncertainty term contains all the coupled terms, uncertainties and disturbances, then the UDE method is applied for the uncertainty compensation. Compared with the existing UDE control works, the introduced filtered tracking error dynamics simplifies the controller design and implementation. Furthermore, the stability analysis of the closed-loop system is established and experimental studies are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed control method.

In this article, position and attitude tracking control of the quadrotor subject to complex nonlinearities, input couplings, aerodynamic uncertainties, and external disturbances coupled with faults in multiple motors is investigated. A robustified nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI)-based fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme is proposed for the purpose. The proposed scheme is not only robust against aforementioned nonlinearities, disturbances, and uncertainties but also tolerant to unexpected occurrence of faults in multiple motors. The proposed scheme employs uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE) technique to robustify the NDI-based controller by providing estimate of the lumped disturbance, thereby enabling rejection of the same. In addition, the UDE also plays the role of fault detection and identification module. The effectiveness and benefits of the proposed design are confirmed through 6-DOF simulations and experimentation on a 3-DOF Hover platform.

Attitude Tracking Control

The finite-time attitude tracking control for gliding-guided projectile with unmatched and matched disturbance is investigated. An adaptive variable observer is used to provide estimation for the unmeasured state which contains unmatched disturbance. Then, an improved adaptive twisting sliding mode algorithm is proposed to compensate for the matched disturbance dynamically with better transient quality. Finally, a proof of the finite-time convergence of the closed-loop system under the disturbance observer and the adaptive twisting sliding mode-based controller is derived using the Lyapunov technique. This attitude tracking control scheme does not require any information on the bounds of uncertainties. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method which is able to acquire the minimum possible values of the control gains guaranteeing the finite-time convergence performs well in chattering attenuation and tracking precision.

ABSTRACTThe problem of the magnetic attitude tracking control is studied for a gravity gradient microsatellite in orbital transfer. The contributions of the work are mainly shown in two aspects: (1) the design of an expected attitude trajectory; (2) a method of the magnetic attitude tracking control. In orbital transfer, the gravity gradient microsatellite under a constant thrust shows complicated dynamic behaviours. In order to damp out the pendular motion, the gravity gradient microsatellite is subject to the the attitude tracking problem. An expected attitude trajectory is designed based on dynamic characteristics revealed in the paper, which not only ensures the flight safety of the system, but also reduces the energy consumption of the controller. Besides, the control torque produced by a magnetorquer is constrained to lie in a two-dimensional plane orthogonal to the magnetic field, so an auxiliary compensator is proposed to improve the control performance, which is different from existing magnetic control methods. In addition, a sliding mode control based on the compensator is presented, and the Lyapunov stability analysis is performed to show the global convergence of the tracking error. Finally, a numerical case of the gravity gradient microsatellite is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed tracking control.

This paper presents an adaptive multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) control approach for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown parameters. MTN is employed to identify unknown nonlinear characteristics existing in the system, and then a novel adaptive MTN tracking control method is proposed, via backstepping technique. In the controller design, double adaptive laws are designed and appropriate Lyapunov functions are chosen to overcome the difficulties caused by the unknown parameters. The designed controller can guarantee that all the variables in the closed-loop systems are bounded and the tracking error can be arbitrarily small. Finally, simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The multivariable robust tracking control problem for aeroengine is considered in this paper. On the basis of the aeroengine nonlinear affine uncertain dynamic model, and according to uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE) control approach, a novel aeroengine multivariable robust nonlinear tracking control method is presented in order to provide favorable tracking and disturbance rejection performance. After getting a generalization form of UDE-based aeroengine multivariable controller, a simplification form of control law is obtained when a specified form of low-pass filter is applied. Reference model of the aeroengine system should have satisfying dynamic, thus an optional reference model is provided. Simulation on a twin-shaft aeroengine with two inputs, verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Attitude Tracking Control

In this paper, a high accuracy attitude tracking control is presented for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under the model uncertainties and external unpredictable disturbances by using a robust feedback control method. First, the cascade attitude dynamics of a quadrotor UAV is derived with the lumped disturbances. Then, a backstepping adaptive modified robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) control is designed to improve the robustness of the control system against the disturbances. For arriving high accuracy tracking under the disturbances, a prescribed performance control algorithm is employed in combination to hold the transient state performance where the convergence rate is faster than the prescribed value, and the maximum overshoot is less than the prescribed value. The stability analysis is carried out to prove that the presented controller could guarantee that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and the tracking feedback errors can converge to an arbitrarily small value near zero. The superior performance of the proposed control method is illustrated in simulations against the nonlinear lumped disturbances, and the benefits of the proposed robust controller is corroborated by comparing with the existed controller.
