Equipping multijoint manipulators on a mobile robot is a typical redesign scheme to make the latter be able to actively influence the surroundings and has been extensively used for many ground robots, underwater robots, and space robotic systems. However, the rotor-flying robot (RFR) is difficult to be made such redesign. This is mainly because the motion of the manipulator will bring heavy coupling between itself and the RFR system, which makes the system model highly complicated and the controller design difficult. Thus, in this paper, the modeling, analysis, and control of the combined system, called rotor-flying multijoint manipulator (RF-MJM), are conducted. Firstly, the detailed dynamics model is constructed and analyzed. Subsequently, a full-state feedback linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller is designed through obtaining linearized model near steady state. Finally, simulations are conducted and the results are analyzed to show the basic control performance.

The design of a modern Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is described for a test steam injected gas turbine (STIG) unit. The LQR controller is obtained by using the fuel flow rate and the injected steam flow rate as the output parameters. To meet the goal of the shaft speed control, a classical Proportional Differential (PD) controller is compared to the LQR controller design. The control performance of the dynamic response of the STIG plant in the case of rejection of load is evaluated. The results of the computer simulation show a remarkable improvement on the dynamic performance of the STIG unit.

With the purpose of overcoming the defect that unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are easily disturbed by air current and tend to be unstable, an augmented-stability controller was developed for a certain UAV’s longitudinal motion. According to requirements of short-period damping ratio and control anticipation parameter (CAP) in flight quality specifications of GJB185-86 and C*, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory was used in the augmented-stability controller’s design. The simulation results show that the augmented-stability controller not only improves the UAV’s stability and dynamic characteristics but also enhances the UAV’s robustness.

Double Rotary Inverted Pendulum (DRIP) is a member of the mechanical under-actuated system which is unstable and nonlinear. The DRIP has been widely used for testing different control algorithms in both simulation and experiments. The DRIP control objectives include Stabilization control, Swing-up control and trajectory tracking control. In this research, we present the design of an intelligent controller called “hybrid Fuzzy-LQR controller” for the DRIP system. Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is combined with a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). The LQR is included to improve the performance based on full state feedback control. The FLC is used to accommodate nonlinearity based on its IF-THEN rules. The proposed controller was compared with the Hybrid PID-LQR controller. Simulation results indicate that the proposed hybrid Fuzzy-LQR controllers demonstrate a better performance compared with the hybrid PID-LQR controller especially in the presence of disturbances.

This paper presents a controller design process for an aircraft tracking problem when not all states are available. In the study, a nonlinear-transport aircraft simulation model was used and identified through Maximum Likelihood Principle and Extended Kalman Filter. The obtained mathematical model was used to design a Linear–Quadratic Regulator (LQR) with optimal weighting matrices when not all states are measured. The nonlinear aircraft simulation model with LQR controller tracking abilities were analyzed for multiple experiments with various noise levels. It was shown that the designed controller is robust and allows for accurate trajectory tracking. It was found that, in ideal atmospheric conditions, the tracking errors are small, even for unmeasured variables. In wind presence, the tracking errors were proportional to the wind velocity and acceptable for small and moderate disturbances. When turbulence was present in the experiment, state variable oscillations occurred that were proportional to the turbulence intensity and acceptable for small and moderate disturbances.

AbstractThis study discusses the modeling and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller based closed loop control of a three tank hybrid (TTH) process. A pseudo random binary signal (PRBS) based excitation data obtained from a real time TTH setup is utilized in validating its first principle model (FPM). Based on top and bottom interactions, various modes prevalent are considered based on steady state physical reachability analysis of the TTH for a given input range for controller design. The FPM is linearized using nominal values of process parameters using Jacobians from each existing mode. LQR controllers are designed for each mode. A supervisory structure is designed for selecting estimation model and controller for each appropriate mode. Results from real time servo tracking and disturbance rejection experiments are discussed.

This paper presents a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller for active trailer steering (ATS) of a tractor-semitrailer. The tractor-semitrailer is modelled as a linear yaw/roll model with 5 Degrees-Of-Freedom (DOF). The linear yaw/roll model is validated with a nonlinear tractor-semitrailer model developed with TruckSim under a simulated single lane-change maneuver. Then, the validated linear yaw/roll model is used to design the LQR controller for ATS. The TruckSim model and the LQR controller are integrated by means of an interface between the software packages of TruckSim and Matlab/Simulink. The LQR controller is assessed using numerical simulation of the TruckSim model with and without the ATS control. Evaluation of the controller is based on the performance measures of the trailer in terms of rearward amplification (RA), peak roll angle, and load transfer ratio (LTR). It is demonstrated that the LQR controller leads to the decrease the peak values of the aforementioned measures by 4.81%, 20.7%, and 33%, respectively.
