Nonlinear model predictive control applied to vision-based spacecraft landing

چکیده
Real-time optimal control has eluded practical implementation for most systems so far. The reason being mainly related to the scarce computational resources available and the high CPU requirements of commonly proposed real-time optimal control architectures. In this paper we show how, by a careful use of the Nonlinear Model Predictive Control approach one can obtain a real-time control system able to drive a mass optimal spacecraft landing in the presence of highly noisy navigation inputs such as those coming from a light weight solution including only one IMU and a camera. The introduced approach is applicable to a broader class of systems, as is shown by applying the method to find time-optimal maneuvers for a quad rotor model.

متن کاملDesign of Nonlinear Robust Controller and Observer for Control of a Flexible Spacecraft
Two robust nonlinear controllers along with a nonlinear observer have been developed in this study to control a 1D nonlinear flexible spacecraft. The first controller is based on dynamic inversion, while the second one is composed of dynamic inversion and µ-synthesis controllers. The extension of dynamic inversion approach to flexible spacecraft is impeded by the non-minimum phase characteristi...

In this paper, a predictive control based on the proposed hybrid model is designed to control the fluid height in a three-tank system with nonlinear dynamics whose operating mode depends on the instantaneous amount of system states. The use of nonlinear hybrid model in predictive control leads to a problem of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which is very complex and time consuming t...
