Landing footprint of an entry vehicle provides critical information for mission planning. Conventional methods calculate it through solving a family of multi-constraints optimal control problems. It is difficult to solve. To generate the boundary of it, we proposed a new scheme based on differential evolution(DE). Utilizing DE's parallelism, each run generates one side instead of one point of the...
Solving the optimal control problem with a free final time, such as suborbital launch vehicle (SLV) trajectory optimization with two control variables and multi-constraints ones based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), the smoothness of control variable can not be satisfied by linear interpolation method. A novel method including some improving strategies based on PSO for trajectory optimization...
Systems with unknown nonlinear characteristics and unknown disturbances are linearized using dynamic feedback linearization based on linear extended state observer. Also a method for the parameter regulation is presented. And then for a given performance index, an optimal control law is designed using LQR theory. Finally numerical simulation results demonstrate that this control method can meet the...
There has been an increasing interest in a kind of underactuated mechanical systems, mobile wheeled inverted pendulum (MWIP) models, which are widely used in the field of autonomous robotics and intelligent vehicles. A novel structure including an MWIP system and a movable seat called UW-Car is proposed in the study. The dynamic model of UW-Car system running in the flat ground is obtained by applying...
This paper proposes a rapid trajectory optimization approach using a novel PSO algorithm, the Migrant particle swarm optimization (Migrant PSO). Imitating the behavior of a flock of migrant birds, the Migrant PSO algorithm employs stochastic search method and adaptive linear search method respectively for PSO search spaces including both continuous space and discrete space. In the example of the minimum...
