Underactuated Waypoint Tracking of a Fixed-Wing UAV
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2013)
In this paper a new method of performing waypoint tracking is shown for underactuated fixed-wing UAVs. The position error can be mapped onto the desired axis using a desired rotation matrix, while the velocity error can be mapped to the desired axis using a desired angular velocity. With all errors defined along one axis, the tracking problem is easily solved using only one thruster. A velocity ...
Control of Spacecraft Formation with Disturbance Rejection and Exponential Gains
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
We address the problem of state feedback translational motion control of a spacecraft formation through a modified sliding surface controller using variable gains and I^2 action for disturbance rejection. The exponential varying gains ensure faster convergence of the state trajectories during attitude maneuver while keeping the gains small (and the system less stiff) for station keeping. Integral ...
