Purpose This paper aims to study the attitude control problem with mutating orbital rate and actuator fading. Design/methodology/approach To avoid malicious physical attacks and hide itself, the spacecraft may irregularly switch its orbit altitude within a specific range, which will bring about variations in orbital rate, thereby causing mutations in the attitude dynamics model. The actuator faults will also cause changes in system dynamics. Both factors affect the control performance. First, this paper determines the potential switching orbits. Then under different conditions, design controllers that can accommodate actuator faults according to the statistical law of actuator fading. Findings This paper, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, for the first time, introduces the Markovian jump framework to model the possible unexpected mutating of orbital rate and actuator fading of spacecraft and then designs a novel control policy to solve the attitude control problem. Practical implications This paper also provides the algorithm design processes in detail. A comparative numerical simulation is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Originality/value This is an early solution for spacecraft attitude control with dynamics model mutations.

Nonlinear Disturbance

This paper investigates the application of an integral sliding mode control with a robust nonlinear disturbance observer to obtain an anti-unwinding spacecraft attitude tracking response with robustness against external disturbances, inertia matrix uncertainties, and actuator faults. In the controller design, external disturbances, uncertainties, and actuator faults are lumped together and estimated by the robust nonlinear disturbance observer. The proposed robust nonlinear disturbance observer guarantees the convergence of estimated lumped disturbance error to origin in finite time. The estimated disturbance is then used in the controller as a feed-forward compensator. Further, an adaptive law is also incorporated in the proposed controller to ensure additional robustness. The stability of the overall system and anti-unwinding characteristic are proved using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed in the presence of all the sources of lumped disturbances. It is observed that the proposed control strategy is ensuring higher accuracy, good steady-state precision, and eliminates the unwinding phenomenon.

<span>In this article a novel composite control technique is introduced. We added a nonlinear disturbance observer to a nonlinear H_∞ control to form this composite controller. The quadrotor kinematics and dynamics is formulated using euler angles and parameters. After that, this nonlinear robust controller is developed for this flying robot attitude control for the outdoor conditions. Because under these conditions the flying robot, experiences both external disturbance and parametric uncertainty. Stability analysis is also presented to show the global asymptotical stability using a Lyapunov function. The simulation results showed that the suggested composite controller had a better performance in comparison with a nonlinear H_∞ control scheme.</span>

This paper presents a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDOB) for active disturbance rejection in the attitude control loop for quadrotors. An optimization framework is developed for tuning the parameter in the NDOB structure, which includes the infinity-norm minimization of the weighted sum of noise-to-output transfer function and load disturbance sensitivity function. Subsequently, the minimization generates an optimal value of the parameter based on the tradeoff between disturbance rejection and noise propagation in the system. The proposed structure is implemented on PIXHAWK, a real-time embedded flight control unit. Simulation tests are carried out on a custom built, high-fidelity simulator providing physically accurate simulations. Furthermore, experimental flight tests are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. The system is injected with step, sinusoidal, and square wave disturbances, and the corresponding system tracking performance is recorded. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm attenuates the disturbances better compared to just a baseline controller implementation. The proposed algorithm is computationally cheap, an active disturbance rejection technique and robust to exogenous disturbances.

A robust adaptive backstepping attitude control scheme, combined with invariant-set-based sliding mode control and fast-nonlinear disturbance observer, is proposed for the airbreathing hypersonic vehicle with attitude constraints and propulsive disturbance. Based on the positive invariant set and backstepping method, an innovative sliding surface is firstly developed for the attitude constraints. And the propulsive disturbance of airbreathing hypersonic vehicle is described as a differential equation which is motivated by attitude angles in this paper. Then, an adaptive fast-nonlinear disturbance observer for the proposed sliding surface is designed to estimate this kind of disturbance. The convergence of all closed-loop signals is rigorously proved via Lyapunov analysis method under the developed robust attitude control scheme. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed attitude control scheme.
