In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem arising from the optimal guidance of a lunar module to achieving soft landing, where the description of the system dynamics is in a three-dimensional coordinate system. Our aim is to construct an optimal guidance law to realize the soft landing of the lunar module with the terminal attitude of the module to be within a small deviation from b...

−In the paper you will implement a set point control system for the single-link manipulator with flexible joint using a multiloop controller based on feedback linearization (inner loop) and linear statefeedback control (outer loop). Then, you will modify the multiloop controller to solve a trajectory tracking problem. The simulations demonstrate that the multi-loop control law it is a viable me...

This thesis investigates optimal trajectory tracking of nonlinear dynamical systems with affine controls. The control task is to enforce the system state to follow a prescribed desired trajectory as closely as possible. The concept of so-called exactly realizable trajectories is proposed. For exactly realizable desired trajectories exists a control signal which enforces the state to exactly fol...
