Nonlinear Trajectory Tracking for Fixed Wing UAVs via Backstepping and Parameter Adaptation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Equipping a fixed wing unmanned air vehicle (UAV) with low-level autopilots, we derive high-level velocity and roll angle control laws for the UAV. Backstepping techniques are applied to design the velocity and roll angle control laws from known velocity and heading angle control laws that explicitly account for velocity and heading rate constraints of the UAV. Regarding unknown autopilot constants, a parameter adaptation technique is used to estimate autopilot parameters. Simulation results on a fixed wing UAV are presented to show the effectiveness of our approach.

Design and Development of a Backstepping Controller Autopilot for Fixed-wing UAVs
Backstepping is one of the most promising advanced control laws developed for xed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Its nonlinearity combined with adaptation guarantees adequate performance over the whole ight envelope even when the aircraft model is not exact. In the literature, there are several attempts to apply a backstepping controller to aspects of xed-wing UAV ight. Few of them attem...

This paper presents a new nonlinear backstepping controller for a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind turbine, which is connected to the power system via back-to-back converters. The proposed controller deals with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in normal condition and enhances the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability in fault conditions. In this method, to...

The ability of backstepping controllers to deal with nonlinearities make this technique a suitable candidate for the control of small fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The authors have already proposed a comprehensive approach combining backstepping with PID controllers for simultaneous longitudinal and latero-directional control of fixed-wing UAVs, achieving good performance even wit...
متن کاملTrajectory Tracking Weeled Mobile Robot Using Backstepping Method with Connection off Axle Trailer
The connection of the tractor to the inactive trailer or motor vehicle causes a motion control problem when turning in the screw, forward or backward movements and high speeds. This is due to the inactive trailer being controlled by the tracking using a physical link that is not affected by the movement. Trailers usually take tracks under these conditions. This phenomenon is called Jack Knife. ...

Control robustness is study for uncertain nonlinear systems transformed in semi strict feedback systems. An adaptive backstepping sliding mode control and an adaptive backstepping control robustness is considered. Robustness is studied when the unknown parameter are constants and varied. The simulation results prove that the sliding mode control is more robust than the backstepping control to t...
