A manipulator/vehicle system floating on water consists of a vehicle with a manipulator attached to it. Similar to the space manipulator system, the system on water is not fixed to an inertial coordinate system. So, external forces affect the motion of the system. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for controlling the position and orientation of the end-effector of the manipulator/vehicle system in an inertial coordinate system under the assumption that the stability of the vehicle is maintained. We derive the kinematics of the system and propose a trajectory tracking control algorithm based on the resolved motion rate control, then prove convergence of the control algorithm using the Lyapunov's method. Experimental results illustrate the validity of the proposed control algorithm.

The trajectory tracking control strategy for intelligent vehicle is proposed in this article. Considering the parameters perturbations and external disturbances of the vehicle system, based on the vehicle dynamics and the preview follower theory, the lateral preview deviation dynamics model of the vehicle system is established which uses lateral preview position deviation, lateral preview velocity deviation, lateral preview attitude angle deviation, and lateral preview attitude angle velocity deviation as the tracking state variables. For this uncertain system, the adaptive sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to design the preview controller to eliminate the effects of uncertainties and realize high accuracy of the target trajectory tracking. According to the real-time deviations of lateral position and lateral attitude angle, the feedback controller is designed based on the fuzzy control algorithm. For improving the adaptability to the multiple dynamic states, the extension theory is introduced to design the coordination controller to adjusting the control proportions of the preview controller and the feedback controller to the front wheel steering angle. Simulation results verify the adaptability, robustness, accuracy of the control strategy under which the intelligent vehicle has good handling stability.

This paper presents a Lyapunov-based switched trajectory tracking control design for a rear-steered automated guided AGV (AGV). Given a moving reference whose position and orientation have to be tracked by the AGV, the main objective of the controller is to reduce AGV’s distance from the reference while adjusting its orientation. The distance reduction issue is important, especially in huge warehouses operating a group of AGVs, since the rate of AGV-to-reference distance reduction contributes to the possibility of AGV-to-AGV collision. A set of control algorithms is proposed to handle large AGV’s orientation. Simulations that show the performance of the proposed method is presented.

SUMMARYThis paper addresses the trajectory tracking control problem for a quadrotor aerial vehicle, equipped with a robotic manipulator (aerial manipulator). The controller is organized in two layers: in the top layer, an inverse kinematics algorithm computes the motion references for the actuated variables; in the bottom layer, a motion control algorithm is in charge of tracking the motion references computed by the upper layer. To the purpose, a model-based control scheme is adopted, where modelling uncertainties are compensated through an adaptive term. The stability of the proposed scheme is proven by resorting to Lyapunov arguments. Finally, a simulation case study is proposed to prove the effectiveness of the approach.

In this paper, a complete nonlinear dynamic unmanned helicopter model considering wind disturbance is proposed to achieve realistic simulations and teasing out the effect of wind on the control system. The wind velocity vector which is horizontal as seen in the inertial frame can be obtained by subtracting the airspeed measured by atmospheric data computer from the inertial speed measured by GPS. The design of the controller fully considers the existence of wind, and the wind disturbance is suppressed by the method of hierarchical control combined with the integral sliding mode control (SMC). The stability proof is given. Hardware in the loop (HIL) tool is employed as a practical engineering solution, and it is an essential step in validating the new algorithm before moving to real flight experiments.
