This paper presents a model predictive control approach for regulating the attitude of magnetically actuated satellites. Unlike other contributions in this area, a predictive control approach is developed which guarantees closed-loop stability of satellite configurations with unstable open-loop pitch dynamics. With the pitch axis being unstable, two magnetic dipoles are used exclusively for reg...

In this paper, we show that the stability can not be achieved with current stabilizing MPC methods for some unstable processes. Hence we present a new method for stabilizing these processes. The main idea is to use a new time varying weighted cost function for traditional GPC. This stabilizes the closed loop system without adding soft or hard constraint in optimization problem. By studying diff...

Abstract— In order to meet the demand of the signal test device of phase-sensitive, by modeling and simulating on the transient stability and load change resistance, the control stability of variable frequency power is increased with parameter configuration, increased phase margin and amplitude margin. Besides, using ARM embedded kernel control chip the dual variable frequency power is establis...

In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...

This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem for networked control systems (NCSs) with packet-dropouts and delays. A state estimator is incorporated into the controller node, and the controller uses the estimated states when packet-dropouts occur. By using such a estimator-based controller, the closed-loop NCS is modelled as a discrete-time switched systems with both stable and unstab...

This paper presents a data-driven controller tuning method that includes a set of constraints for ensuring closed-loop stability. The approach requires a single experiment and can also be applied to nonminimum-phase and unstable systems. The tuning scheme generates an estimate of the closedloop output error that is used to minimize an approximation of the model reference control problem. The co...

In this paper, a filtered repetitive controller (FRC) is proposed for robot manipulator tracking. Error dynamics are obtained first, leaving an unknown periodic signal to be compensated. A new model to describe the periodic signal is proposed then. By this model, an FRC is designed to compensate for the unknown periodic signal. The resulting closed-loop error dynamics are analyzed with the help...
