With the development of aerospace technology, more and more scientific activities are carried out in the universe. Due to the microgravity environment of space, the control of the 6-DOF platform is different from those on the earth. First, a virtual prototype model of the 6-DOF non-contact platform was built in ADAMS. The dynamics model was developed based on the Newton–Euler method. Then, the 6-DOF backstepping sliding mode controller and disturbance observer were designed in MATLAB/Simulink. Finally, by combining the virtual prototype model in ADAMS and the control system in MATLAB, the co-simulation model was proposed. According to the simulation results, the 6-DOF backstepping sliding mode controller can well complete the positioning, 3D trajectory tracking, and vibration isolation tasks of non-contact 6-DOF platform. Quantitatively, the spatial error of backstepping sliding mode controller’s 3D trajectory tracking is only 50% of the ordinary sliding mode control and it is 20% of the nonlinear propotional-derivative-integral.

To solve the trajectory tracking problem of insufficient response and the large tracking error of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) under the interference of large ocean currents, this paper proposes a double-loop sliding mode controller with an ocean current observer. The designed controller consisted of an outer-loop controller (the position controller) and an inner-loop controller (the velocity controller): the outer controller was designed by the position error, and a reference velocity was created for the inner loop to achieve accurate positioning and attitude tracking. The reference control input was treated as a new target to design the inner-loop controller, enabling the ROV to achieve accurate reference velocity tracking. Based on the theoretical idea of active disturbance rejection control, a kinematic equation-based ocean current observer was designed to estimate and compensate for large unknown currents to ensure accurate trajectory tracking performance under large currents. The simulation results proved that the double-loop sliding-mode control scheme with an ocean current observer always showed good tracking performance, demonstrating the excellent control performance and high robustness of the scheme. Compared with the high-complexity control schemes such as neural network-based PID control or fuzzy sliding mode control, it effectively improves the robustness to ocean current disturbances without increasing the computational effort excessively, and is more practical in ROV systems with limited computational power.

Abstract The paper reports the design and tests of the planar autopilot navigation system in the three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) plane (surge, sway and yaw) for a ship. The aim of the tests was to check the improved maneuverability of the ship in open waters using the improved nonlinear control algorithm, developed based on the sliding mode control theory for the ship-trajectory tracking problem of under-actuated ships with static constraints, actuator saturation, and parametric uncertainties. With the integration of the simple increment feedback control law, the dynamic control strategy was developed to fulfill the under-actuated tracking and stabilization objectives. In addition, the LOS (line of sight) guidance system was applied to control the motion path, whereas the sliding mode controller was used to emulate the rudder angle and propeller rotational speed control. Firstly, simulation tests were performed to verify the validity of the basic model and the tracking control algorithm. Subsequently, full scale maneuverability tests were done with a novel container ship, equipped with trajectory tracking control and sliding mode controller algorithm, to check the dynamic stability performance of the ship. The results of the theoretical and numerical simulation on a training ship verify the invariability and excellent robustness of the proposed controller, which: effectively eliminates system chattering, solves the problem of lateral drift of the ship, and maintains the following of the trajectory while simultaneously achieving global stability and robustness.

Quadrotor or unmanned helicopter is a mobile robot which often flies in unknown environment to perform special missions. In navigational tasks, the robot is intended to fly autonomously toward a target position by following an optimum trajectory. For a successful navigation, controlled attitude, minimum position and velocity error and obstacles collision avoidance are often considered during trajectory tracking procedure. By considering environmental variabilities and due to the existence of noises, uncertainties and unpredictable factors, it is indispensable to steer and control moving robots using sophisticated autonomous algorithms. In this work, a nonlinear model of four-rotor helicopter is simulated. An optimized terminal sliding mode control is then designed to control trajectory tracking. In order to improve the time indices for sliding mode controller, this controller is modified with neural networks. The idea is to optimize the controller parameters through a network learning process which is based on the control process error. The proposed method is evaluated with simulated and real-world indoor navigation tasks. Trajectories that are tracked by quadrotor are generated by a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm and refined with an optimization technique. A well-known simultaneous localization and mapping technique (a camera-based extended Kalman filter-simultaneous localization and mapping) is employed to generate maps, and a path planning algorithm (particle swarm optimization) is utilized to optimize a collision-free flight path using the probability-based maps generated by simultaneous localization and mapping. Simulations and experiment are done in unknown but structured indoor environments containing a number of obstacles. The steady state error, the reaching and settle time and the chattering effect are all quantified and assessed. The controlled experimental flight robustness and sensitivity are further verified for noises occurred on vision and data acquisition system. Results indicate suitable performance for the proposed neural network-sliding mode controller. Less error and more stability were achieved comparative to the conventional sliding mode controllers.

Introduction: In this paper, a robust sliding mode controller is developed to control an orthosis used for rehabilitation of lower limb. Materials and Methods: The orthosis is defined as a mechanical device intended to physically assist a human subject for the realization of his movements. It should be adapted to the human morphology, interacting in harmony with its movements, and providing the necessary efforts along the limbs to which it is attached. Results: The application of the sliding mode control to the Shank-orthosis system shows satisfactory dynamic response and tracking performances. Conclusion: In fact, position tracking and speed tracking errors are very small. The sliding mode controller effectively absorbs disturbance and parametric variations, hence the efficiency and robustness of our applied control.
