Spacecraft attitude control using magnetic actuators
No full textThe problem of inertial pointing for a spacecraft with magnetic actuators is addressed and an almost global solution to the problem is obtained by means of static attitude and rate feedback. A local solution based on dynamic attitude feedback is also presented. Simulation results demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed approach
Analysis and Design of Nonlinear Control Systems
No full textThis book has been prepared as a tribute to Prof. Alberto Isidori on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The book contains 27 chapters written by a number of researchers who have been involved, in different ways, in the prolific and high-impact career of Prof. Isidori. The chapters cover a significant number of control and systems theory topics and describe a mix of new methodological results, advanced applications, emerging control areas and tutorial works.
The overall contributions have been divided in six parts: "System Analysis", "Optimization Methods", "Feedback Design", "Regulation", "Geometric Methods" and "Asymptotic Analysis".
All these fields reflect areas in which Prof. Isidori, during his scientific activity, has been actively involved by providing key ideas and pioneering contributions.
The book is expected to be of significant interest to academic and industrial researchers involved in the area of linear and nonlinear control systems and a key reference for future research developments
Disturbance attenuation and set-point regulation of rigid robots via H/sub ∞/ control
No full textProposes a possible strategy for disturbance attenuation and set-point regulation for a rigid robot using the notion of L2-gain of a system. The authors discuss the use of H∞ control for trajectory tracking and show, for the particular case of rigid robots, that a PD type controller is sufficient to render the closed loop system from the exogenous input (disturbances and references) to the error variable dissipative with respect to the supply rate associated with the notion of L2-gai
