This paper presents a novel visual servoing sheme for a miniature pan-tilt intertially stabilized platform (ISP). A fully customized ISP can be mounted on a miniature quadcopter to achieve stationary or moving target detection and tracking. The airborne pan-tilt ISP can effectively isolate a disturbing rotational motion of the carrier, ensuring the stabilization of the optical axis of the camera in order to obtain a clear video image. Meanwhile, the ISP guarantees that the target is always on the optical axis of the camera, so as to achieve the target detection and tracking. The vision-based tracking control design adopts a cascaded control structure based on the mathematical model, which can accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics of the ISP. The inner loop of the proposed controller employs a proportional lag compensator to improve the stability of the optical axis, and the outer loop adopts the feedback linearization-based sliding mode control method to achieve the target tracking. Numerical simulations and laboratory experiments demonstrate that the proposed controller can achieve satisfactory tracking performance.

A neural network-based global fast terminal sliding mode control method with non-linear differentiator (NNFTSMC) is proposed in this paper to design the dynamic control system for three-axis stabilized platform. The dynamic model of the three-axis stabilized platform is established with various uncertainties and unknown external disturbances. To overcome the external disturbance and reduce the output chatter of the classical sliding mode control (SMC) system, the improved global fast terminal sliding mode control method using the nonlinear differentiator and neural network techniques is proposed and implemented in the three-axis stabilized platform system. The global fast terminal sliding mode controller can make the controlled state approach to the sliding surface in a finite time. To eliminate the system output chatter, the nonlinear differentiator is employed to obtain the differentiation of the signal. The neural network is introduced to estimate the uncertainties disturbances to improve the stability and the robustness of the control system. The stability and the robustness of the proposed control method are analyzed using the Lyapunov theory. The performance of the proposed NNFTSMC method is verified and compared with the classical proportion-integral-differential (PID) controller, SMC controller and fast terminal sliding mode controller (FTSMC) through the computer simulation. Results validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed NNFTSMC method in presence of uncertainties and unknown external disturbances.

The Mathematical Model

A piston piezoelectric (PZT) pump has many advantages for the use of light actuators. How to deal with the contradiction between the intermittent oil supplying and position control precision is essential when designing the controller. In order to accurately control the output of the actuator, a backstepping sliding-mode control method based on the Lyapunov function is introduced, and the controller is designed on the basis of establishing the mathematical model of the system. The simulation results show that, compared with fuzzy PID and ordinary sliding-mode control, backstepping sliding-mode control has a stronger anti-jamming ability and tracking performance, and improves the control accuracy and stability of the piezoelectric pump-controlled actuator system.

Tire longitudinal forces of electrics vehicle with four in-wheel-motors can be adjusted independently. This provides advantages for its stability control. In this paper, an electric vehicle with four in-wheel-motors is taken as the research object. Considering key factors such as vehicle velocity and road adhesion coefficient, the criterion of vehicle stability is studied, based on phase plane of sideslip angle and sideslip-angle rate. To solve the problem that the sideslip angle of vehicles is difficult to measure, an algorithm for estimating the sideslip angle based on extended Kalman filter is designed. The control method for vehicle yaw moment based on sliding-mode control and the distribution method for wheel driving/braking torque are proposed. The distribution method takes the minimum sum of the square for wheel load rate as the optimization objective. Based on Matlab/Simulink and Carsim, a cosimulation model for the stability control of electric vehicles with four in-wheel-motors is built. The accuracy of the proposed stability criterion, the algorithm for estimating the sideslip angle and the wheel torque control method are verified. The relevant research can provide some reference for the development of the stability control for electric vehicles with four in-wheel-motors.

A novel variable structure compensation PID control, VSCPID in short, is proposed for trajectory tracking of asymmetrical hydraulic cylinder systems. This new control method improves the system robustness by adding a variable structure compensation term to the conventional PID control. The variable structure term is designed according to sliding mode control method and therefore could compensate the disturbance and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the proposed control method avoids the requirements for exact knowledge of the systems associated with equivalent control value in SMC that means the controller is simple and easy to design. The stability analysis of this approach is conducted with Lyapunov function, and the global stability condition applied to choose control parameters is provided. Simulation results show the VSCPID control can achieve good tracking performances and high robustness compared with the other control methods under the uncertainties and varying load conditions.

Abstract In this paper we present a new design method for the fight control of an autonomous quadrotor helicopter based on fuzzy sliding mode control using backstepping approach. Due to the underactuated property of the quadrotor helicopter, the controller can move three positions (x;y; z) of the helicopter and the yaw angle to their desired values and stabilize the pitch and roll angles. A first-order nonlinear sliding surface is obtained using the backstepping technique, on which the developed sliding mode controller is based. Mathematical development for the stability and convergence of the system is presented. The main purpose is to eliminate the chattering phenomenon. Thus we have used a fuzzy logic control to generate the hitting control signal. The performances of the nonlinear control method are evaluated by simulation and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy for the quadrotor helicopter in vertical flights.

The Stability

Some research on the stability with mode constraint for a class of infinite dimensional look-ahead interconnected systems with impulsive and stochastic disturbances is studied by using the vector Lyapunov function approach. Intuitively, the stability with mode constraint is the property of damping disturbance propagation. Firstly, we derive a set of sufficient conditions to assure the stability with mode constraint for a class of general infinite dimensional look-ahead interconnected systems with impulsive and stochastic disturbances. The obtained conditions are less conservative than the existing ones. Secondly, the controller for a class of look-ahead vehicle following systems with the above uncertainties is constructed by the sliding mode control method. Based on the obtained new stability conditions, the domain of the control parameters of the systems is proposed. Finally, a numerical example with simulations is given to show the effectiveness and correctness of the obtained results.

In this paper, a novel time-varying gain extended state observer (ESO)-based moving sliding mode control method is proposed for anti-sway and positioning control of two-dimensional underactuated overhead cranes. The designed moving sliding mode surface can adjust its slope in real time according to the state variable errors; in addition, a dynamic exponential term is added into the moving sliding mode surface so as to drive any initial state variable errors into the sliding surface rapidly, and thereby the robustness of crane systems is improved. Then, a chattering-free reaching law is designed to realize fast convergence of the system state errors, and the input is modelled as a saturated one due to the fact the motor torque is bounded and the control law and adaptive updating law of switching gain are derived in the sense of Lyapunov function, so the stability can be guaranteed even under the input saturation. Moreover, to suppress the matched and unmatched disturbance occurring in crane dynamic systems, a time-varying gain ESO is constructed to estimate the lumped disturbance, then the estimated value is used for feedforward compensation to establish the controller. Finally, the simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Two Stages

The robotic riveting system requires a rivet robotic positioning process for rivet-in-hole insertions, which can be divided into two stages: rivet path-following and rivet spot-positioning. For the first stage, varying parameter-linear sliding surfaces are proposed to achieve robust rivet path-following against robot errors and external disturbances of the robotic riveting system. For the second stage, a second-order sliding surface is applied to attain accurate rivet spot-positioning within a finite time required by the riveting process. In order to improve the dynamic performance of the robot riveting system, the motion of robot end-effector between the two adjacent riveting spots has been properly designed. Overall, the proposed control scheme can guarantee not only the stability of the robot control system but also the robust rivet path-following and quick rivet spot-positioning in the presence of the robot errors and external disturbances of the robotic riveting system. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
