The accuracy of manufacturing highly characterises the performance of industrial motion control. However, detrimental effects such as nonlinear coupling, model uncertainty and unknown external disturbances severely affect trajectory tracking performance. In this paper, we proposed an ADRC and feedback linearisation-based control algorithm for the high-precision trajectory tracking of feed drives. The controller was rigorously designed to ensure the convergence of observer states and tracking error. The applicability of the proposed approach was successfully demonstrated via high-fidelity simulation, and the numerical results based on different tracking methods were compared.

Space manipulator is considered as one of the most promising technologies for future space activities owing to its important role in various on-orbit serving missions. In this study, a robust finite-time tracking control method is proposed for the rapid and accurate trajectory tracking control of an attitude-controlled free-flying space manipulator in the presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. First, a baseline finite-time tracking controller is designed to track the desired position of the space manipulator based on the homogeneous method. Then, a finite-time disturbance observer is designed to accurately estimate the lumped uncertainties. Finally, a robust finite-time tracking controller is developed by integrating the baseline finite-time tracking controller with the finite-time disturbance observer. Rigorous theoretical analysis for the global finite-time stability of the whole closed-loop system is provided. The proposed robust finite-time tracking controller has a relatively simple structure and can guarantee the position and velocity tracking errors converge to zero in finite time even subject to lumped uncertainties. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are really limited existing controllers can achieve such excellent performance under the same conditions. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control method.

APT (Acquisition, Pointing, and Tracking) system of space laser communication adopts compound axis structure; it consists of coarse tracking and fine tracking system. Its response speed and tracking precision mainly rests with the fine tracking system. Traditional PID control algorithm often is used in APT fine tracking system. In order to improve the dynamic performance of the system and decrease the tracking error, optimum control technology was adopted in this paper. On the basis of considering the system dynamic performance requirements and tracking precision requirement, optimum controller was designed. The simulation result shows that the bandwidth of APT fine tracking system is up to 1310 Hz, and the stable state error is less than 0.002. Compared with PID control, optimum control can improve the tracking performance of system.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present μ-synthesis-based robust attitude trajectory tracking control of three degree-of-freedom four rotor hover vehicle. Design/methodology/approach Comprehensive modelling of hover vehicle is presented, followed by development of uncertainty model. A μ-synthesis-based controller is designed using the DK iteration method that not only handles structured and unstructured uncertainties effectively but also guarantees robust performance. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated through simulations, and the controller is also implemented on experimental platform. Simulation and experimental results validate that μ-synthesis-based robust controller is found effective in: solving robust attitude trajectory tracking problem of multirotor vehicle systems, handling parameter variations and dealing with external disturbances. Findings Performance analysis of the proposed controller guarantees robust stability and also ensures robust trajectory tracking performance for nominal system and for 15-20 per cent variations in the system parameters. In addition, the results also ensure robust handling of wind gusts disturbances. Originality/value This research addresses the robust performance of hover vehicle’s attitude control subjected to uncertainties and external disturbances using μ-synthesis-based controller. This is the only method so far that guarantees robust stability and performance simultaneously.

In this paper, we presented a strategy for accurate trajectory tracking control of a quadrotor with unknown disturbances. To guarantee that the tracking errors of all system state variables converge to zero in finite time and eliminate the chattering phenomenon caused by the switching control action, a control strategy that combines linear prediction model of disturbances and fuzzy sliding mode control (SMC) based on logical framework with side conditions (LFSC) was designed. LFSC was applied for both position and attitude tracking of the quadrotor. Firstly, a linear prediction method was devised to minimize the effects of external disturbances. Secondly, a new fuzzy law was implemented to eliminate the chattering phenomenon. In addition, the stabilities of position and attitude were demonstrated by using Lyapunov theory, respectively. Simulation results and comprehensive comparisons demonstrated the superior performance and robustness of the proposed LFSC scheme in the case of external disturbances.

Abstract In this paper, a hybrid nonlinear proportional-derivative-sliding mode controller (NPD-SMC) is developed for the trajectory tracking of robot manipulators. The proposed controller combines the advantage of the easy implementation of NPD control and the robustness of SMC. The gains of PD control are tuned on-line in order to increase the convergence rate, whereas the SMC term is introduced to reject the external disturbances without requiring to know the system dynamics. The stability of the NPD-SMC is proved using Lyaponuv theorem, and it is demonstrated that the tracking error and the tracking error rate converge asymptotically to zero. Experiments are carried out on the parallel Delta robot to illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach. It is also shown the superiority of the NPD-SMC control over the NPD control and PD-SMC control.
