Control of uncertain systems by feedback linearization with neural networks augmentation. Part I. Controller design
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper highlights the main steps of adaptive output feedback control for non-affine uncertain systems – both in parameters and dynamics – having a known relative degree. Given a reference model, the objective is to design a controller that forces the measured system output to track the reference model output with bounded errors. A single hidden layer neural network is used to counteract feedback linearization error. A dynamic observer of tracking error is added. The treatment of control saturation is also sketched. The mathematical model for the longitudinal dynamics of an experimental helicopter is used as framework

A Thermal-Solar System for De-Orbiting of Space Debris
This paper presents a system for removal of space debris, which can be placed on geocentric, heliocentric or Sun-synchronous orbit. The system is composed of two parabolic mirrors, a large one and a small one. The concav...
The Multipoint Global Shape Optimization of Flying Configuration with Movable Leading Edges Flaps
The aerodynamical global optimized (GO) shape of flying configuration (FC), at two cruising Mach numbers, can be realized by morphing. Movable leading edge flaps are used for this purpose. The equations of the surfaces o...
