In this study, an observer-based tracking controller is proposed and evaluatedexperimentally to solve the trajectory tracking problem of robotic manipulators with the torque saturationin the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. In comparison with the state-of-the-artobserver-based controllers in the literature, this paper introduces a saturated observer-based controllerbas...

Conventional quaternion based methods have been extensively employed for spacecraft attitude control where the aerodynamic forces can be neglected. In the presence of aerodynamic forces, the flight attitude control is more complicated due to aerodynamic moments and inertia uncertainties. In this paper, a robust nero-adaptive quat...

Adaptive control has been developed for decades, and now it has become a rigorous and mature discipline which mainly focuses on dealing parametric uncertainties in control systems, especially linear parametric systems. Nonparametric uncertainties were seldom studied or addressed in the literature of adaptive control until new areas on exploring limitations and capability of feedback control eme...

This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...

s-Fixed controllers can become even unstable, with large changes in system parameters. This problem can be avoided using robust control and adaptive control design techniques. To obtain robust performance, it is desirable that the closed loop poles of the perturbed structure remain at prespecified locations for a range of system parameters. In the present study, the controllers based on adaptiv...

This paper uses robust pole assignment method to design an adaptive velocity and altitude tracking control algorithm for the longitudinal model of a wave rider configuration air-breathing hypersonic vehicle, which has strong coupling between structure, propulsion and aerodynamics. Base on the elastic hypersonic vehicle model CSUAL_GHV, the simulations using adaptive robust pole assignment contr...

model predictive controller is widely used in industrial plants. uncertainty is one of the critical issues in real systems. in this paper, the direct adaptive simplified model predictive control (smpc) is proposed for unknown or time varying plants with uncertainties. by estimating the plant step response in each sample, the controller is designed and the controller coefficients are directly ca...
