The Stability

A robust trajectory tracking control scheme for quadrotor unmanned aircraft vehicles under uncertainties is proposed herein. A tracking controller combined with the sliding mode and integral backstepping is performed for position and attitude tracking. The stability of the trajectory tracking controller of the quadrotor is investigated via Lyapunov stability analysis. By incorporating force and torque disturbances into numerical simulations, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed quadrotor trajectory controller. Finally, the experiments validate the feasibility of the proposed controller.

Purpose Trajectory tracking is a common problem in the field of mobile robots which has attracted a lot of attention in the past two decades. Therefore, besides the search for new controllers to achieve a better performance, improvement and optimization of existing control rules are necessary.

In this paper, we presented a strategy for accurate trajectory tracking control of a quadrotor with unknown disturbances. To guarantee that the tracking errors of all system state variables converge to zero in finite time and eliminate the chattering phenomenon caused by the switching control action, a control strategy that combines linear prediction model of disturbances and fuzzy sliding mode control (SMC) based on logical framework with side conditions (LFSC) was designed. LFSC was applied for both position and attitude tracking of the quadrotor. Firstly, a linear prediction method was devised to minimize the effects of external disturbances. Secondly, a new fuzzy law was implemented to eliminate the chattering phenomenon. In addition, the stabilities of position and attitude were demonstrated by using Lyapunov theory, respectively. Simulation results and comprehensive comparisons demonstrated the superior performance and robustness of the proposed LFSC scheme in the case of external disturbances.

Trajectory Tracking Controller

To promote the development of military and civilian applications for marine technology, more and more scientific research around the world has begun to develop unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) technology with advanced control capabilities. This paper establishes and identifies the model of vector propulsion USV, which is widely used at present. After analyzing its actuator distribution, we consider that the more realistic vessel model should be an incomplete underactuated system. For this system, a virtual control point method is adopted and an adaptive sliding mode trajectory tracking controller with neural network minimum learning parameter (NNMLP) theory is designed. Finally, in the simulation experiment, the thruster speed and propulsion angle are used as the inputs of the controller, and the linear and circular trajectory tracking tests are carried out considering the delay effect of the actuator, system uncertainty, and external disturbance. The results show that the proposed tracking control framework is reasonable.

The issue of fixed-time trajectory tracking control for the autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) system with model uncertainties and external disturbances is investigated in this paper. Particularly, convergence time does not depend on initial conditions. The major contributions include the following: (1) An integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) via integral sliding mode surface is first proposed, which can ensure that the system states can follow the desired trajectory within a fixed time. (2) Unknown external disturbances are absolutely estimated by means of designing a fixed-time disturbance observer (FTDO). By combining the FTDO and ISMC techniques, a new control scheme (FTDO-ISMC) is developed, which can achieve both disturbance compensation and chattering-free condition. (3) Aiming at reconstructing the unknown nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a fixed-time unknown observer (FTUO) is proposed, thus providing the FTUO-ISMC scheme that finally achieves trajectory tracking of ASVs with unknown parameters. Finally, simulation tests and detailed comparisons indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Globally Stable

In this paper, it is proved that a trajectory tracking system of a manipulator is globally stable if the system is controlled under the decentralized PD control law plus a sliding term with a constant coefficient, and the norm of the coefficient matrix of its differential term is no less than that of the centripetal and Coriolis’ force term corresponding to the desired angular velocity, i.e., ∥Kd∥ ≥ ∥C(q, q˙d)∥. Condition ∥Kd∥ ≥ ∥C(q, q˙d)∥ implies that Kd increases only with q˙d instead of q˙. A type of globally asymptotically stable adaptive sliding mode PD-based control scheme is proposed, and the proof of stability of the system is also given. It is easy to implement in real-time compared with other adaptive control laws as no estimation of gravitational and frictional forces is necessary.

The Relationship

This paper develops a safety-guaranteed trajectory tracking controller for hovercraft by using a safety-guaranteed auxiliary dynamic system, an integral sliding mode control, and an adaptive neural network method. The safety-guaranteed auxiliary dynamic system is designed to implement system state and input constraints. By considering the relationship of velocity and resistance hump, the velocity of hovercraft is constrained to eliminate the effect of resistance hump and obtain better stability. And the safety limit of drift angle is well performed to guarantee the light safe maneuvers of hovercraft tracking with high velocities. In view of the natural capabilities of actuators, the control input is constrained. High nonlinearity and model uncertainties of hovercraft are approximated by employing adaptive radical basis function neural networks. The proposed controller guarantees the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals. Specifically, the tracking errors are uniformly ultimately bounded. Numerical simulations are implemented to demonstrate the efficacy of the designed controller.

Twisting Control

This paper proposes an improved non-singular terminal super-twisting control for the problem of position and attitude tracking of quadrotor systems suffering from uncertainties and disturbances. The super-twisting algorithm is a second-order sliding mode known to be a very effective control used to provide high precision and less chattering for uncertain nonlinear electromechanical systems. The proposed method is based on a non-singular terminal sliding surface with new exponent that solves the problem of singularity. The design procedure and the stability analysis of the closed-loop system using Lyapunov theory are detailed for the considered system. Finally, the proposed control scheme is tested in simulations and by experiments on the parrot-rolling spider quadrotor. Moreover, a comparison is made with the standard super-twisting algorithm in the simulation part. The results obtained show adequate performance in trajectory tracking and chattering reduction.
