We propose a new robust optimal control strategy for flexible spacecraft attitude tracking maneuvers in the presence of external disturbances. An inverse optimal control law is designed based on a Sontag-type formula and a control Lyapunov function. An adapted extended state observer is used to compensate for the total disturbances. The proposed controller can be expressed as the sum of an inverse optimal control and an adapted extended state observer. It is shown that the developed controller can minimize a cost functional and ensure the finite-time stability of a closed-loop system without solving the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation directly. For an adapted extended state observer, the finite-time convergence of estimation error dynamics is proven using a strict Lyapunov function. An example of multiaxial attitude tracking maneuvers is presented and simulation results are included to show the performance of the developed controller.

In this paper, the attitude tracking control problem of output feedback is investigated. A finite time extended state observer (FTESO) is designed through the homogeneous Lyapunov method to estimate the virtual angular velocity and total disturbances. Based on these estimated states, a finite time attitude tracking controller is developed. The numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

The nonlinear attitude motion equations of flexible spacecraft described by the Euler angles are expressed in the vector form. Based on dynamic surface control, a new robust dynamic surface sliding mode controller is proposed for the attitude tracking and active vibration suppression of flexible spacecraft in the presence of parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. Then, a novel robust dynamic surface finite time sliding mode controller is proposed with an extended state observer such that the uncertainties can be estimated. Lyapunov stability analyses show that the two controllers can guarantee the asymptotical stability of the attitude control system. The undesirable vibration of flexible spacecraft is also actively suppressed by the modal velocity feedback approach. Finally, simulation results verified the effectiveness of the presented control algorithms.

This article proposed an extended state observer (ESO)–based output feedback control scheme for rigid spacecraft pose tracking without velocity feedback, which accounts for inertial uncertainties, external disturbances, and control input constraints. In this research, the 6-DOF tracking error dynamics is described by the exponential coordinates on SE(3). A novel continuous finite-time ESO is proposed to estimate the velocity information and the compound disturbance, and the estimations are utilized in the control law design. The ESO ensures a finite-time uniform ultimately bounded stability of the observation states, which is proved utilizing the homogeneity method. A non-singular finite-time terminal sliding mode controller based on super-twisting technology is proposed, which would drive spacecraft tracking the desired states. The other two observer-based controllers are also proposed for comparison. The superiorities of the proposed control scheme are demonstrated by theory analyses and numerical simulations.

Currently, space robots such as planetary robots and flexible-link manipulators (FLMs) are finding specific applications to reduce the cost of launching. However, the structural flexible nature of their arms and joints leads to errors in tip positioning owing to tip deflection. The internal model uncertainties and disturbance are the key challenges in the development of control strategies for tip-tracking of FLMs. To deal with these challenges, we design a tip-tracking controller for a two-link flexible manipulator (TLFM) by developing a sampled-data extended state observer (SD-ESO). It is designed to reconstruct uncertain parameters for accurate tip-tracking control of a TLFM. Finally, a backstepping (BS) controller is designed to attenuate the estimation error and other bounded disturbances. Convergence and stability of the proposed control system are investigated by using Lyapunov theory. The benefits (control performance and robustness) of the proposed SD-ESO-based BS controller are compared with other similar approaches by pursuing both simulation and experimental studies. It is observed from the results obtained that SD-ESO-based BS Controller effectively compensates the deviation in tip-tracking performance of TLFM due to non-minimum phase behavior and model uncertainties with an improved transient response.
