Firstly, the translational dynamic model of spacecraft rendezvous is given and then rewritten into a second-order fully-actuated system form. Then, by employing the prescribed performance control method, the performance function and error transformation are determined, pre-defining the prescribed performance bounds. Moreover, the fully-actuated system approach is used to linearize the original nonlinear system, which simplifies the processes of control law design and ensures model accuracy. After that, to ensure that the spacecraft could avoid the dangerous zone during its manoeuvre, the artificial potential function is introduced, based on which a sliding mode surface is designed. Finally, the prescribed performance control–artificial potential function-based control law is derived, further adopting the neuro-adaptive method to deal with external interferences.

This dynamic selection enhances the robustness of the state estimation process, ensuring accurate predictions, even in the presence of varying system complexities and noise. The proposed methodology involves predicting the next state using polynomial extrapolation. Extensive simulations were conducted to validate the performance of the APKF, demonstrating its superiority in accurately estimating the true system state compared with traditional Kalman filtering methods. The root-mean-square error was evaluated for various combinations of standard deviations of sensor noise and process noise for different sample sizes. On average, the root-mean-square error value, which represents the disparity between the true sensor reading and estimate derived from the adaptive Kalman filter, was 35.31% more accurate than that of the traditional Kalman filter.

Initially, the manuscript converts the manipulator grasping system into an equivalent data model through dynamic linearization techniques. Then, based on the dynamic linearization model, the IMVO-AS-MFAC controller is designed. To address the actuator saturation problem that commonly occurs during the clamping process of manipulator grasping systems, a saturation parameter is introduced into the IMVO-AS-MFAC algorithm. Meanwhile, the controller parameters are optimized using an improved multiverse optimizer algorithm, which involves modifications to the initial population distribution and location update strategy. The improved algorithm demonstrates more competitive optimization performance compared to the traditional multiverse optimizer. The major advantage of the IMVO-AS-MFAC algorithm lies in the fact that only the input and output data of the manipulator grasping system are required throughout the entire control process, and the controller parameters are derived using an optimization algorithm rather than relying on empirical knowledge. Furthermore, rigorous mathematical analysis confirms the stability of the IMVO-AS-MFAC approach, and its effectiveness is validated through semi-physical experiments conducted in an environment integrating the MATLAB/Simulink module and the RecurDyn platform.</p>","PeriodicalId":50382,"journal":{"name":"IET Control Theory and Applications","volume":"18 14","pages":"1791-1805"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cth2.12726","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142174208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
