Adaptive Course Control-Based Trajectory Linearization Control for Uncertain Unmanned Surface Vehicle Under Rudder Saturation

Fuzzy Adaptive Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Carrying Time-Varying Cargo on Predefined Path

At present, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been increased dramatically. The reasons for this development are cheapness, smallness, simplicity, and diversity of missions. The simplicity of guidance and control of multi-rotor drones is that they are equipped with an autopilot system. This system is responsible for flying control. UAVs do not have a high weight and often have three...

Vehicle Trajectory Impacts of Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is assumed to have a potential to improve quality-of-service and safety and to reduce the environmental impact of the road traffic system. This paper use vehicle trajectories from traffic simulation to study impacts of ACC on vehicle acceleration and deceleration rates. The analysis is based on traffic simulations with car-following models including ACC functionali...

Neural adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear system with input saturation

This paper presents neural adaptive control methods for a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of actuator saturation. Backstepping technique is widely used for the control of nonlinear systems. By introducing alternative state variables and implementing state transformation, the system can be reformulated as output feedback of a canonical system, which ensures that the controllers can be...

Non-linear control algorithms for an unmanned surface vehicle

Although intrinsically marine craft are known to exhibit non-linear dynamic characteristics, modern marine autopilot system designs continue to be developed based on both linear and non-linear control approaches. This article evaluates two novel non-linear autopilot designs based on non-linear local control network and non-linear model predictive control approaches to establish their effectiven...
