Robust backstepping non-smooth practical tracking for nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties

Wenlong Yang et al.

Summary: This article investigates the robust finite-time output tracking control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and external disturbances. A new robust finite-time controller is proposed based on signal compensation theory and backstepping methodology, which incorporates a non-smooth time-invariant controller and a robust compensator to achieve finite-time convergence and restrain the influences of uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed control approach is validated through simulation examples.

Coordinated path following control of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles in wind

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the coordinated path following control of fixed-wing UAVs on a 2D plane with unknown wind disturbances, proposing a novel control law to address input saturation and airspeed constraints, and establishing stability conditions and path following error bounds. The coordination strategy takes into account communication topology requirements without the need for pointwise connectivity.

A new robust adaptive mixing control for trajectory tracking with improved forward flight of a tilt-rotor UAV

Daniel N. Cardoso et al.

Summary: A new robust adaptive mixing control (RAMC) is proposed to achieve trajectory tracking of a tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configuration. The controller is formulated to deal with linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems dependent on not known large parameters but measured or estimated online, providing robustness against unknown disturbances. Rigorous closed-loop stability analysis is performed to validate the controller performance.

Optimal Path Following for Small Fixed-Wing UAVs Under Wind Disturbances

Jun Yang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel path-following algorithm for fixed-wing UAVs, formulating the problem as a control problem by auxiliary dynamics and designing the controller in an optimal and systematic manner. The algorithm compensates for wind disturbances on path-following performance via nonlinear disturbance observers, and its feasibility and effectiveness are validated in simulation studies and flight tests.

Nussbaum-based finite-time fractional-order backstepping fault-tolerant flight control of fixed-wing UAV against input saturation with hardware-in-the-loop validation

Ziquan Yu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates a new finite-time fault-tolerant control strategy using fractional-order backstepping iterative design for a fixed-wing UAV, addressing actuator faults and input saturation. A neural network disturbance observer and fractional-order calculus are used to enhance performance, while an auxiliary system is introduced to handle input saturation. Lyapunov analysis demonstrates convergence in finite time, with comparative simulations and hardware-in-the-loop experiments showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.
