In this paper, we focus on solving the problems of inertia-free attitude tracking control for spacecraft subject to external disturbance, unknown inertial parameters, and actuator faults. The robust control architecture is designed by using the rotation matrix and neural networks. In the presence of external disturbance and parametric uncertainties, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme synthesized with the minimum-learning-parameter (MLP) algorithm is proposed to improve the reliability of the system when unknown actuator faults occur. These methods are developed based on backstepping to ensure that finite-time convergence is achievable for the entire closed-loop system states with low computational complexity. The validity and advantage of the designed controllers are highlighted by using Lyapunov-based analysis. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the developed controllers.

In this paper, the problem of fault tolerant control for spacecraft attitude tracking control system in the presence of actuator faults/failures, quantized control torque and measurement, uncertain inertial matrix and external disturbances is taken into account. The dynamical uniform quantizers are developed to quantize the signals of control torque and measurement, which can reduce the data transmission rate. In combination with the CA and FTC technique, a robust adaptive fault tolerant control scheme is proposed to cope with the effects of quantization errors in control torque and measurement, the unknown actuator faults/failures, uncertain inertial matrix and external disturbances. The developed control strategy combined with quantized control torque and measurement can guarantee the stability of overall closed-loop system and achieve satisfactory attitude tracking performance. Finally, simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

In this paper, an adaptive robust fault-tolerant control scheme is developed for attitude tracking control of a medium-scale unmanned autonomous helicopter with rotor flapping dynamics, external unknown disturbances and actuator faults. For the convenience of control design, the actuator dynamics with respect to the tail rotor are introduced. The adaptive fault observer and robust item are employed to observe the actuator faults and eliminate the effect of external disturbances, respectively. A backstepping-based robust fault-tolerant control scheme is designed with the aim of obtaining satisfactory tracking performance and closed-loop system stability is proved via Lyapunov analysis, which guarantees the convergence of all closed-loop system signals. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

In this paper, finite-time fault-tolerant attitude tracking control is investigated for rigid spacecraft system with external disturbances, inertia uncertainties and actuator faults. A novel finite-time disturbance observer combined with a nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller is developed. Using an equivalent output error injection approach, a finite-time disturbance observer with simple structure is firstly designed to estimate lumped uncertainty. Then, to remove the requirement of prior knowledge about lumped uncertainty and reduce chattering, an adaptive finite-time disturbance observer is further proposed, and the estimations converge to the neighborhood of the true values. Based on the designed observer, a unified finite-time attitude controller is obtained automatically. Finally, both additive and multiplicative faults are considered for simulations and the results illustrate the great fault-tolerant capability of the proposed scheme.

This paper investigates the finite-time attitude tracking control problem for spacecraft in the presence of external disturbances and actuator faults. Two anti-unwinding attitude tracking control schemes have been proposed based on the rotation matrix and sliding mode control technology. Utilizing a fast terminal sliding mode surface, the first controller can fulfill the finite-time attitude tracking control task with disturbance rejection ability. The second controller can improve the system reliability when the actuator fault occurs. Rigorous mathematical analysis and proof concludes that the proposed controllers can make a spacecraft track the desired attitude command in finite time. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.
