Along with inevitable internal uncertainties and external disturbances in practice, this inherent nonlinear character always hinders space vehicles autopilot from pursuing precise tracking performance. Compared to most of pre-existing methodologies that passively suppress the uncertainties and disturbances, a design based on predictive functional control(PFC) and generalized extended state observer(GESO) is firstly proposed for three-axis RCS control system to actively reject that with no requirement for additional fuel consumption. To obtain a high fidelity predictive model on which the performance of PFC greatly depends, the nonlinear coupling multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) flight dynamics model is parameterized as a state-dependent coefficient form. And based on that, a MIMO PFC algorithm in state space domain for a plant of arbitrary orders is deduced in this paper.The internal uncertainties and external disturbances are lumped as a total disturbance, which is estimated and cancelled timely to further enhance the robustness. The continuous control command synthesised by above controller-rejector tandem is finally modulated by pulse width pulse frequency modulator(PWPF) to on-off signals to meet RCS requirement. The robustness and feasibility of the proposed design are validated by a series of performance comparison simulations with some prominent methods in the presence of significant perturbations and disturbances, as well as measurement noise.展开更多

In the proposed R-Q model, a novel MAD model was developed according to the hierarchical structure. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides better performance, in terms of average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and quality smoothness, than the H.264 reference model, JM14.2, under various sequences.展开更多

First, the ISMC method based on finitetime convergence is utilized to design the control law of tail fins andthe pulse control of RCS for the dual-control system, ensuring thesystem with rapid response and high accuracy of tracking. Then,ESO is employed for the estimation of aerodynamic disturbancesinfluenced by the airflow of thruster jets. With the characteristicof high accuracy estimation of ESO, the chattering free trackingperformance of the attack angle command and the robustnessof the control law are achieved. Meanwhile, the stability of thedual-control system is analyzed based on finite time convergencestability theorem and Lyapunov’s theorem. Finally, numerical simulationsdemonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.展开更多

An optimization method is used to obtain a RC compensator that ensures system stability and good tracking performance. The designed compensator is in the form of a stable, low order, and causal filter, in which the compensator can be implemented separately without being merged with the RC internal model. This will reduce complexity in the implementation. Simulation results and comparison study are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design. The novelty of design is also verified in experiments on a 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) robot.展开更多
