The effect of the choice of control allocation scheme upon individual control effector rate demands is examined. Three previously reported and one new variation of control allocation schemes are described and compared. The new allocation scheme exploits the maximum attainable moment-rates of a given control effector configuration and is called moment rate allocation. The bases of comparison are...

control of robotic systems is an interesting subject due to their wide spectrum applications in medicine, aerospace and other industries. this paper proposes a novel continuous control mechanism for tracking problem of a 5-dof upper-limb exoskeleton robot. the proposed method is a combination of a recently developed robust integral of the sign of the error (rise) feedback and neural network (nn...

The present article proposes a predictive control law for orbital spacecraft rendezvous hovering phases. An innovative description of periodic spacerestricted trajectories based on computing the envelope of a family of curves is given. This description is used to provide a model predictive controller able to minimize the fuel consumption and account convex constraints, such as periodicity, satu...

This paper is a new step in the development of the Linguistic Geometry. This formal theory is intended to discover the inner properties of human expert heuristics, which have been successful in a certain class of complex control systems, and apply them to different systems. The Linguistic Geometry relies on the formalization of search heuristics of the highly-skilled human experts, which allow ...

Distinctive technology and customer / supplier relationships are currently the primary sources of competitive advantage in the Aerospace industry. Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) requirements represent a significant disruption to this mode of competition. The United States Department of Defense intends to accelerate the rate of aerospace innovation and inject additional competitiveness ...
