This paper proposes a robust optimal attitude control design for multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain hexarotor micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) in the presence of parametric uncertainties, external time-varying disturbances, nonlinear dynamics, and coupling. The parametric uncertainties, external time-varying disturbances, nonlinear dynamics, and coupling are treated as the total disturbance in the proposed design. The proposed controller is achieved in two simple steps. First, an optimal linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) controller is designed to guarantee that the nominal closed-loop system is asymptotically stable without considering the total disturbance. After that, a disturbance observer is integrated into the closed-loop system to estimate the total disturbance acting on the system. The total disturbance is compensated by a compensation input based on the estimated total disturbance. Robust properties analysis is given to prove that the state is ultimately bounded in specified boundaries. Simulation results illustrate the robustness of the disturbance observer-based optimal attitude control design for hovering and aggressive flight missions in the presence of the total disturbance.

Cooperative attitude regulation and tracking problems are discussed in the presence of multiple time-varying communication delays and dynamically changing topologies. In the case of cooperative attitude regulation, we propose conditions to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system when there exist multiple time-varying communication delays. In the case of cooperative attitude tracking, the result of uniformly ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system is obtained when there exist both multiple time-varying communication delays and dynamically changing topologies. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of these conclusions.

In this paper, we propose the disturbance observer-based continuous finite-time sliding mode controller (DOBCSMC) for input-affine nonlinear systems in which additive matched and mismatched disturbances exist. The objective is to show the robustness and disturbance attenuation performance of the closed-loop system with the proposed DOBCSMC subjected to general classes of matched and mismatched disturbances. The proposed DOBCSMC consists of three main features: (i) the nonlinear finite-time disturbance observer to obtain a fast and accurate estimation of matched and mismatched disturbances, (ii) the nonlinear sliding surface to ensure high precision in the steady-state phase of the controlled output, and (iii) the continuous supertwisting algorithm to guarantee finite-time convergence of the controlled output and reduce the chattering under the effect of matched and mismatched disturbances. It should be noted that the existing approaches cannot handle time-varying mismatched disturbances and/or cannot guarantee faster finite-time stability of the controlled output. We prove that the closed-loop system with the DOBCSMC guarantees both finite-time reachability to the sliding surface and finite-time stability of the controlled output to the origin. Various simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DOBCSMC. In particular, the simulation results show that the DOBCSMC guarantees faster convergence of the closed-loop system to the origin, higher precision of the controlled output, and better robustness performance against various classes of (time-varying) matched and mismatched disturbances, compared with the existing approaches.

We consider nonlinear systems in the strict-feedback form with simultaneous time-varying input and state delays, for which we design a predictor-based feedback controller. Our design is based on time-varying, infinite-dimensional backstepping transformations that we introduce, to convert the system to a globally asymptotically stable system. The solutions of the closed-loop system in the transformed variables can be found explicitly, which allows us to establish its global asymptotic stability. Based on the invertibility of the backstepping transformation, we prove global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system in the original variables. Our design is illustrated by a numerical example.

The features of internal model control (IMC) design based on the first order anisochronic model are investigated in this paper. The structure of the anisochronic model is chosen in order to fit both the dominant pole and the dominant zero of the system dynamics being approximated. Thanks to its fairly plain structure, the model is suitable for use in IMC design. However, use of the anisochronic model in IMC design may result in so-called neutral dynamics of the closed loop. This phenomenon is studied in this paper via analysing the spectra of the closed loop system.

Abstract This paper proposes a new composite noncertainty-equivalence adaptive (CNCEA) control system for the attitude (roll, pitch, and yaw angle) control of a spacecraft in an orbit around a uniformly rotating asteroid based on the immersion and invariance (I&I) theory. For the design, it is assumed that the asteroid's gravitational parameters and the spacecraft's inertia matrix are not known. In contrast to certainty-equivalence adaptive (CEA) or noncertainty-equivalence adaptive (NCEA) systems, the CNCEA attitude control system's composite identifier uses the attitude angle tracking error, a nonlinear state-dependent vector function, and model prediction error for parameter estimation. The Lyapunov analysis shows that in the closed-loop system, the Euler angles asymptotically track the reference attitude trajectories. Interestingly, there exist two parameter error-dependent attractive manifolds, to which the closed-loop system's trajectories converge. Moreover, the composite identifier using two types of error signals provides stronger stability properties in the closed-loop system. Simulation results are presented for the attitude control of a spacecraft orbiting in the vicinity of the asteroid 433 Eros. These results show precise nadir pointing attitude regulation, despite uncertainties in the system.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the discrete event-triggered dynamic output-feedback ${H}_{\infty }$ control problem for the uncertain networked control system, where the time-varying sampling, network-induced delay and packet losses are taken into account simultaneously. The random packet losses are described via the Bernoulli distribution. And then, the closed-loop system is modelled as an augmented time-delay system with interval time-varying delay. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and the augmented state space method, the sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are proposed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. At the same time, the design method of the ${H}_{\infty }$ controller is created. Finally, a numerical example is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The article presents a new non-certainty-equivalent adaptive (NCEA) longitudinal autopilot for the control of a missile based on the immersion and invariance theory. The interest here is to control the angle of attack of the missile in the presence of large parametric uncertainties. For the derivation of the control law, a backstepping design procedure is used. At each step of the design, certain filtered signals are generated for the synthesis of a stabilizing control signal and a parameter estimator. Using Lyapunov stability analysis, it is shown that in the closed-loop system, trajectory control of the angle of attack is accomplished, and the trajectories of the system are attracted to certain manifold in the space of state variables and parameter errors. For stability in the closed-loop system, an explicit analytical relation involving the controller gains is obtained. It may be pointed out that recently an adaptive autopilot based on the immersion and inversion theory has been designed, but it has stringent requirements because for its synthesis, the derivatives of the Mach number and angle of attack must be known, and a large number of parameters must be updated. The derived control system of this article is synthesized using only the state variables, and its identifier is of lower order. A traditional certainty-equivalent adaptive autopilot is also presented for comparison. Simulation results are obtained which show that the designed NCEA control system can accomplish angle of attack control despite large parametric uncertainties; and it can give better tracking performance than the traditional controller.

In this paper, an adaptive robust stabilization algorithm is presented for a class of non-linear systems with mismatched uncertainties. In this regard, a new controller based on the Lyapunov theory is proposed in order to overcome the problem of stabilizing non-linear time-varying systems with mismatched uncertainties. This method is such that the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed in the absence of the triangularity assumption. The proposed approach leads to asymptotic convergence of the states of the closed-loop system to zero for unknown but bounded uncertainties. Subsequently, this method is modified so that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Eventually, numerical simulations support the effectiveness of the given algorithm.

Abstract In this paper, two novel adaptive control strategies are presented based on the linear matrix inequality for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. The proposed approaches are developed by creatively using Krasovskii stability theory to compensate parametric uncertainty, unknown time-varying internal delay, and bounded matched or mismatched disturbance effects in closed-loop system of nonlinear systems. The online adaptive tuning controllers are designed such that reference input tracking and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are guaranteed. A novel structural algorithm is developed based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) and boundaries of the system delay or uncertainty. The capabilities of the proposed tracking and regulation methods are verified by simulation of three physical uncertain nonlinear system with real practical parameters subject to internal or state time delay and disturbance.
