This paper presents an attitude control algorithm for a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) with a low lift/drag ratio (L/D < 0.5), in the presence of external disturbances, model uncertainties, control output constraints and the thruster model. The main novelty of proposed control strategy is a new combination of the attitude control methods included backstepping, dynamic inversion and adaptive cont...

In this paper, a novel problem of observer-based adaptive fuzzy fractional control for fractional order dynamic systems with commensurate orders is investigated; the control scheme is constructed by using the backstepping and adaptive technique. Dynamic surface control method is used to avoid the problem of “explosion of complexity” which is caused by backstepping design process. Fuzzy logic sy...

A dynamic inversion compensation scheme is presented for backlash. The compensator uses the backstepping technique with neural networks (NN) for inverting the backlash nonlinearity in the feedforward path. Instead of a derivative, which cannot be implemented, a filtered derivative is used. Full rigorous stability proofs are given using filtered derivative. Compared with adaptive backstepping co...

In order to meet increasing demands on performance and reliability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, nonlinear and adaptive control techniques are often utilized. These techniques are actively being studied to handle nonlinear aerodynamic and kinematic effects, actuator saturations and rate limitations, modeling uncertainty, and time varying dynamics. This chapter presents an overview of some tools ...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy tracking control approach is proposed for a class of single-inputsingle-output (SISO) nonlinear systems in which the unknown continuous functions may be nonlinearlyparameterized. During the controller design procedure, the fuzzy logic systems (FLS) in Mamdani type are applied to approximate the unknown continuous functions, and then, based on the minimal learnin...

This paper presents an adaptive backstepping control method for trajectory tracking and stabilization of an omnidirectional wheeled mobile robot with parameter variations and uncertainties caused by friction and slip. The dynamic model of the robot with three independent driving omnidirectional wheels equally spaced at 120 degrees from one another is briefly introduced. With the dynamic model, ...

The robust H∞ control problem for the generator excitation system with the damping coefficient uncertainty and external disturbances, is addressed. Storage functions of the control system are constructed based on modified adaptive backstepping sliding mode control method and Lyapunov method. A nonlinear robust H∞ controller and a parameter updating law are obtained simultaneously. The controlle...

This paper proposes a high-precision intelligent adaptive backstepping control system (HPIABCS) for the position control of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo drive. The HPIABCS incorporates an ideal backstepping controller, a dynamic recurrent-fuzzy-wavelet-neural-network (DRFWNN) uncertainty observer and a robust H∞ controller. First, a backstepping position controller is designe...

An adaptive backstepping sliding mode controller. wluch combincs both the merits of adaptive backstepping control and sliding mode control, is proposed to control the mover position of a linear induction motor (LIM) drive to compensate for the uncertainties including the friction force. First, the dynamic model of an indirect field-oriented LIM drive is derived. Then, a backstepping sliding mod...
