Attitude control for QTR using exponential nonsingular terminal sliding mode control

摘要

For the problem of attitude control of a quad tilt rotor aircraft with unknown external disturbances, a class of control methods based on a new exponential fast nonsingular terminal sliding surface, a new fast reaching law, and a super twisting sliding mode disturbance observer is investigated. First, the new exponential nonsingular terminal sliding surface is designed by using the advantages of nonsingular terminal sliding mode finite time convergence and strong robustness. Second, to solve the problem of a long convergence time and the serious shaking of the traditional reaching law, a new fast reaching law model with characteristics of the second-order sliding mode is put forward. Third, considering the existence of complex disturbances, the super twisting sliding mode disturbance observer is used to estimate and compensate the composite disturbances online. Finally, compared with the traditional nonsingular fast sliding mode control, simulation results show that the proposed control scheme achieves a good control performance.
