This paper studies the attitude-tracking control problem of spacecraft considering on-orbit refuelling. A time-varying inertia model is developed for spacecraft on-orbit refuelling, which actually includes two processes: fuel in the transfer pipe and fuel in the tank. Based upon the inertia model, an adaptive attitude-tracking controller is derived to guarantee the stability of the resulted closed-loop system, as well as asymptotic convergence of the attitude-tracking errors, despite performing refuelling operations. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed control scheme.

Abstract The paper is dedicated to the derivation of a unified approach for nonlinear adaptive closed loop system design with nonlinear adaptive state and parameter observers combined with tuning functions-based nonlinear adaptive control for trajectory tracking. The proposed approach guarantees asymptotic stability of the closed loop nonlinear adaptive system with respect to the tracking and state estimation errors and Lyapunov stability of the parameter estimator. The advantages of the approach are the lack of over-parametrization, resulting in a minimal number of estimator equations and the preservation of the overdamped performance specifications of the closed loop nonlinear adaptive system in its whole range of operation. The application of the approach to a permanent magnet synchronous motor driven inverted pendulum concludes with simulation of the closed loop nonlinear adaptive system time responses.

In this paper, group formation control with collision avoidance is investigated for heterogeneous multiquadrotor vehicles. Specifically, the distance-based formation and tracking control problem are addressed in the framework of leader-follower architecture. In this scheme, the leader is assigned the task of intercepting a target whose velocity is unknown, while the follower quadrotors are arranged to set up a predefined rigid formation pattern, ensuring simultaneously interagent collision avoidance and relative localization. The adopted strategy for the control design consists in decoupling the quadrotor dynamics in a cascaded structure to handle its underactuated property. Furthermore, by imposing constraints on the orientation angles, the follower will never be overturned. Rigorous stability analysis is presented to prove the stability of the entire closed-loop system. Numerical simulation results are presented to validate the proposed control strategy.

Three-stage servo-valves are popularly used in hydraulic systems that require large flow rate and high pressure. For a proper control of flow direction and flow rate fed into a hydraulic actuator, securing a proper position control bandwidth is a critical task for the servo-valve. In this paper, a set of popular control methods are systematically studied and a control method is selected. It is proven that the feedforward model-inverse control is the most effective method in terms of the control bandwidth. In the present work, the feedforward closed-loop architecture is adopted and the closed-loop system is estimated in a linear discrete-time transfer function by recursive least squares method. On recognizing a nonminimum phase zero problem, this work implements the zero magnitude error tracking control, an approximate model-inverse technique, in order to overcome the problem. As a result, the effectiveness of the proposed feedforward model-inverse position control strategy is verified.

Mismatched Disturbances

A novel continuous sliding mode control (CSMC) strategy based on the finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO) is proposed for the small-scale unmanned helicopters in the presence of both matched and mismatched disturbances. First, a novel sliding surface is designed based on the estimates of the mismatched disturbances and their derivatives obtained by the FTDO. Then, a continuous sliding mode control law is developed, which does not lead to any chattering phenomenon. Furthermore, the closed-loop helicopter system is proved to be asymptotically stable. Finally, the excellent hovering and tracking performance, as well as the powerful disturbance rejection capability of the proposed novel CSMC method, is validated by the simulation results.

In this paper, the path tracking control is studied for a quadruped robot, named TITAN-VIII, walking in a cluttered environment. A simple and efficient algorithm of path planning is proposed, which is characterized by finding turning-point in the walking environment for the robot. The generalized gait algorithm based on the static stability is presented for the continuous and omnidirectional crawl of the robot. Especially, the real-time robot localization in the walking environment, which is the key to the settlement of the path tracking control, is realized by dead-reckoning for the quadruped robot. Based on the above work, we design the closed-loop control architecture so that the robot is able to track the desired path in an obstacle-strewn environment. The reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the experimental results.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

This paper studies the problem of H∞ fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear active fault tolerant control systems based on the Takagi and Sugeno fuzzy model. Two random processes with Markovian transition characteristics are introduced to model the system component fault process and the fault detection and isolation decision process used to reconfigure the control law, respectively. The random behavior of the FDI process is conditioned on the fault process state. The parallel distributed compensation scheme is employed for the control design. As a result, a closed-loop fuzzy system with two Markovian jump parameters is obtained. Based on a stochastic Lyapunov function, a sufficient condition for stochastic stability of the closed-loop fuzzy system with a guaranteed H∞ model reference tracking performance is first derived. A linear matrix inequality approach to the control design is then developed to reduce the effect of the external disturbance and reference input on tracking error as small as possible. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
