A decoupling scheme is presented which gives rise to a singularly perturbed system describing the fast dynamics of the control vector. The quasi-steady-state solution of the system gives a control law which decouples the system in an approximate way. The controller includes a servocompensator and a reference trajectory generator. From this result a control law for approximate decoupling of roll angle, angle of attack, and sideslip in rapid, nonlinear airplane maneuvers is derived. Simulated responses of the closed-loop system show that large, simultaneous lateral and longitudinal maneuvers can be accurately performed in spite of uncertainty in stability derivatives.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114473640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such transfer functions are called functions of bounded type. A strong notion of right or left coprimeness is provided for the representations of these systems. It is shown that a linear system with a transfer function of bounded type always has a right-coprime representation and a left-coprime representation. Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for such a plant to be stabilizable by a compensator. It is shown that under the stabilizability condition, it is possible to parameterize the set of all compensators that stabilize the plant.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114883058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A variational technique based on Pontryagin's maximum principle is used to track the system's unknown terms and to calculate the optimal control. The reformulation of the variational technique as an initial value problem allows this microprocessor-based algorithm to perform as a closed-loop controller by updating the model and controlling the system online. To validate the algorithm a system representing a two-link mechanical manipulator is simulated. In the control model, the coupling and friction terms are unknown. The robot's task is to follow a prescribed trajectory and to pick up an unknown mass.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115021369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three critical issues are addressed: the impact of stiffer PD (proportional-derivative) loops on the performance of model-based controllers with incomplete dynamic compensation in the feedforward loop, the performance degradation produced by asynchronous calculation of feedforward and feedback compensation torques, and the PD loop gain payload adaption requirements. It is concluded that a constant-gain PD feedback with an asynchronous feedforward compensation algorithm outperforms conventional controllers and could be implemented on existing control structures without hardware modifications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117102687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
