This paper synthesizes a continuous, multivariable, finite-time-convergent, super-twisting attitude and rate controller for rotorcraft with the objective of providing desired handling qualities and robustness characteristics. A sliding manifold is defined in the system state space to represent ideal attitude and rate command response dynamics of relative degree one with respect to the command input. Subsequently, robust command tracking is achieved via the synthesis of a multivariable super-twisting flight controller, which renders the plant states convergent on to the defined sliding manifold in finite-time and in the presence of matched external disturbance input. To validate the efficacy of the controller, simulation results are presented based on a nonlinear, higher-order rotorcraft model operating in turbulence. True system convergence to the sliding manifold from an untrimmed state is shown to lie within the theoretically predicted finite-time convergence bound. Furthermore, simulations with a linear quadratic flight controller are also presented for performance comparison with the proposed super-twisting flight controller.

Attitude Tracking Control

This paper studies the finite time spacecraft attitude tracking control problem, while considering modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and control input saturation. A novel integral terminal sliding mode surface (ITSMS) is designed by combining the fast terminal sliding mode surface (FTSMS) with a low pass filter to achieve a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, without input singularity. An auxiliary signal is used to compensate for the effects of actuator saturation. The basic controller is first formulated based on the ITSMS, fast-TSM-type reaching law and auxiliary system, in the presence of an external disturbance and input saturation. Then, an adaptive control procedure is introduced, which simultaneously handles modeling uncertainty and external disturbance, thereby creating an adaptive attitude tracking controller. The proposed controller provides a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, based on the newly designed ITSMS, while simultaneously compensating for modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and input saturation, without restricting the parameter selection process nor requiring repeated differentiation of nonlinear functions. Finally, digital simulation results are presented and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

Sliding Manifold

A multivariable super-twisting sliding mode controller and disturbance observer with gain adaptation, chattering reduction, and finite time convergence are proposed for a generic hypersonic vehicle where the boundary of aerodynamic uncertainties exists but is unknown. Firstly, an input-output linearization model is constructed for the purpose of controller design. Then, the sliding manifold is designed based on the homogeneity theory. Furthermore, an integrated adaptive multivariable super-twisting sliding mode controller and disturbance observer are designed in order to achieve the tracking for step changes in velocity and altitude. Finally, some simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Purpose The finite-time visual servoing control problem is considered for dynamic wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) with unknown control direction and external disturbance. Design/methodology/approach By using finite-time control method and switching design technique. Findings First, the visual servoing kinematic WMR model is developed, which can be converted to the dynamic chained-form systems by using a state and input feedback transformation. Then, for two decoupled subsystems of the chained-form systems, according to the finite-time stability control theory, a discontinuous three-step switching control strategy is proposed in the presence of uncertain control coefficients and external disturbance. Originality/value A class of discontinuous anti-interference control method has been presented for the dynamic nonholonomic systems.

Control Scheme

This paper proposed a finite time convergence global sliding mode control scheme for the second-order multiple models control system. Firstly, the global sliding surface without reaching law for a single model control system is designed and the tracking error finite time convergence and global stability are proved. Secondly, we generalize the above scheme to the second-order multimodel control system and obtain the global sliding mode control law. Then, the convergent and stable performances of the closed-loop control system with multimodel controllers are proved. Finally, a simulation example shows that the proposed control scheme is more effective and useful compared with the traditional sliding mode control scheme.
