In this article, a robust model-free trajectory tracking control strategy is developed for a quadrotor in the presence of external disturbances. The proposed strategy has an outer-inner-loop control structure. The outer loop controls the position with adaptive proportional derivative-sliding mode control and generates the desired attitude angles for the inner loop corresponding to the given position, velocity, and heading references, while the robust integral of the signum of the error method is applied to the inner loop to guarantee fast convergence of attitude angles. Asymptotic tracking of the three-dimensional trajectories is proven by the Lyapunov stability theory. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated with the simulation results by comparing with other model-free quadrotor trajectory tracking controllers.

In order to solve the problems of complex dynamic modeling and parameters identification of quadrotor formation cooperative trajectory tracking control, this paper proposes a data-driven model-free adaptive control method for quadrotor formation based on robust integral of the signum of the error (RISE) and improved sliding mode control (ISMC). The leader-follower strategy is adopted, and the leader realizes trajectory tracking control. A novel asymptotic tracking data-driven controller of quadrotor is used to control the system using the RISE method. It is divided into two parts: The inner loop is for attitude control and the outer loop for position control. Both use the RISE method in the loop to eliminate interference and this method only uses the input and output data of the unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) system and does not rely on any dynamics and kinematics model of the UAV. The followers realize formation cooperative control, introducing adaptive update law and saturation function to improve sliding mode control (SMC), and it eliminates the general SMC algorithm controller design dependence on the mathematical model of the UAV and has the chattering problem. Then, the stability of the system is proved by the Lyapunov method, and the effectiveness of the algorithm and the feasibility of the scheme are verified by numerical simulation. The experimental results show that the designed data-driven model-free adaptive control method for the quadrotor formation is effective and can effectively realize the coordinated formation trajectory tracking control of the quadrotor. At the same time, the design of the controller does not depend on the UAV kinematics and dynamics model, and it has high control accuracy, stability, and robustness.

Trajectory tracking control of autonomous underwater vehicles in three-dimension always suffers disturbances such as input time delays and model uncertainties. Regarding this problem, an integral time-delay sliding mode control law is proposed in this article with dividing the vehicle’s input time delays model into cascade system consisting of a kinematics subsystem and a dynamics subsystem. Based on the established pose error equation and velocity error equation, a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is given to analyze and guarantee the global stability of the whole system under reasonable assumptions. At last, comparative simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
