A biplane quadrotor (hybrid vehicle) benefits from rotary-wing and fixed-wing structures. We design a dual observer-based autonomous trajectory tracking controller for the quadrotor. Extended state observer (ESO) is designed estimation, based on this Backstepping (BSC), Integral Terminal Sliding Mode Controller (ITSMC), Hybrid (HC) that combination of ITSMC + BSC are tracking. Further, Nonlinea...

The development of adaptive observer techniques for nonlinear systems in the output canonical form is proposed applying additional impulsive feedbacks in the observer equations. The stability of new impulsive adaptive observers is investigated. It is shown that under some conditions the proposed impulsive feedbacks can improve the rate of the observer convergence or relax the requirement on per...

In this paper we address the problem of augmenting a linear observer with an adaptive element. The design of the adaptive element employs two nonlinearly parameterized neural networks, the input and output layer weights of which are adapted on line. The goal is to improve the performance of the linear observer when applied to a nonlinear system. The networks’ teaching signal is generated using ...

In this paper, we extend the observer/control strategies previously published in [25] to an n-link, serially connected, direct drive, rigid link, revolute robot operating in the presence of nonlinear friction effects modeled by the LuGre model. In addition, we also present a new adaptive control technique for compensating for the nonlinear parameterizable Stribeck effects. Specifically, an adap...

This paper focuses on observer based fault reconstruction for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems with Lipschitz nonlinearities. An adaptive-gain Super-Twisting (STW) observer is developed for observing the system states, where the adaptive law compensates the uncertainty in parameters. The inherent equivalent output error injection feature of STW algorithm is then used to reconstruct the fa...

An adaptive observer estimating all parameters and load torque is proposed for DC servo motors. The observer uses no direct feedback but the adaptation schemes use current and speed measurements. Both the observer and adaptations are simple to implement for real-time applications. Simulation results are satisfactory for the full adaptive observer. If the observer works in parallel with only loa...

The problem of designing a flux observer for magnetic field electromechanical systems from noise corrupted measurements of currents and voltages is addressed in this paper. Imposing a constraint on the systems magnetic energy function, which allows us to construct an algebraic relation between fluxes and measured voltages and currents that is independent of the mechanical coordinates, we identi...
