The paper presents the design of a mini-UAV attitude controller using the backstepping method. Starting from the nonlinear dynamic equations of the mini-UAV, by using the backstepping method, the author of this paper obtained the expressions of the elevator, rudder and aileron deflections, which stabilize the UAV, at each moment, to the desired values of the attitude angles. The attitude contro...

This paper deals with the problem of suppression of stick-slip oscillations in oil well drill-strings. The backstepping technique is used to design two control schemes for the system. The first controller is a typical backstepping controller; the second controller is a sliding back-stepping controller. Moreover, a reduced order observer is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable states of the sys...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy backstepping controller has been developed for the position tracking control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate unknown nonlinearities appearing in the control law and an adaptive backstepping technique is employed to construct controller. To illustrate the performance of the proposed controller comp...

This article has demonstrated chaos Control in the Lorenz using the backstepping approach. Backstepping method has positive parameters. mostly, parameters are selected arbitrarily , the values of these parameters are significant because the incorrect values lead to instability. Genetic algorithm finds best values for parameters. GA by minimizing the fitness function can find the optimal values ...

In this chapter we describe the block backstepping approach to flight control law design. Block backstepping is a Lyapunov based technique for controller design which is particularly well suited to the rigid body control problem where the main means of control is through the moments, which is the case in most aircraft. The resulting controller has semi-global (in the state space) stabilising pr...

An adaptive backstepping fuzzy-immune controller for a class of chaotic systems is proposed. An adaptive backstepping fuzzy method and adaptive laws are used to approximate nonlinear functions and the unknown upper bounds of uncertainty, respectively. The proposed adaptive backstepping fuzzy-immune controller guarantees the stability of a class of chaotic systems while maintaining good tracking...

The backstepping control method provides useful control logic, especially for a cascaded system. Because spacecraft dynamics and kinematics form a cascaded system, the spacecraft slew maneuver problem can be solved using the backstepping control method. However, the simple linear backstepping controller may result in poor design: sluggish motion, trivial nonlinear term cancellation, and excessi...

This paper proposes a high-precision intelligent adaptive backstepping control system (HPIABCS) for the position control of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo drive. The HPIABCS incorporates an ideal backstepping controller, a dynamic recurrent-fuzzy-wavelet-neural-network (DRFWNN) uncertainty observer and a robust H∞ controller. First, a backstepping position controller is designe...

-A new block backstepping controller is proposed to solve the attitude stabilization problem for a quadrotor helicopter. The attitude kinematical model is obtained and translated into a MIMO nonlinear system with generalized uncertainties. Under the consideration of the coupling between the attitude angles, a nominal block backstepping controller is designed. The obtained controller is then aug...

This paper presents backstepping controller design for tracking purpose of nonlinear system. Since the performance of the designed controller depends on the value of control parameters, gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques are used to optimise these parameters in order to achieve a predefined system performance. The performance is evaluated based...
