Control Scheme

The issue of fixed-time trajectory tracking control for the autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) system with model uncertainties and external disturbances is investigated in this paper. Particularly, convergence time does not depend on initial conditions. The major contributions include the following: (1) An integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) via integral sliding mode surface is first proposed, which can ensure that the system states can follow the desired trajectory within a fixed time. (2) Unknown external disturbances are absolutely estimated by means of designing a fixed-time disturbance observer (FTDO). By combining the FTDO and ISMC techniques, a new control scheme (FTDO-ISMC) is developed, which can achieve both disturbance compensation and chattering-free condition. (3) Aiming at reconstructing the unknown nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a fixed-time unknown observer (FTUO) is proposed, thus providing the FTUO-ISMC scheme that finally achieves trajectory tracking of ASVs with unknown parameters. Finally, simulation tests and detailed comparisons indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Aerial Vehicles

Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles have become increasingly popular in several applications, and the improvement of their control performance has been documented in several studies. Nevertheless, the design of a high-performance tracking controller for aerial vehicles that reliably functions in the simultaneous presence of model uncertainties, external disturbances, and control input saturation still remains a challenge. In this paper, we present a robust backstepping trajectory tracking control of a quadrotor with input saturation. The controller design accounts for both parameterized uncertainties and external disturbances, whereas a new auxiliary system is proposed to cope with control input saturation. Taking into account that only the position and attitude of the quadrotor are measurable, we devise an extended state observer to supply the estimations of unmeasured states, model uncertainties, and external disturbances. We strictly prove the stability of the closed-loop system by using the Lyapunov theory and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm through numerical simulations.

Tracking Controller

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.
