带有两个飞轮的欠驱动航天器姿态稳定控制研究

在系统总角动量不为零的前提下,仅带两个飞轮的航天器无法实现本体系相对于惯性系三轴姿态角为零的稳定控制,而已实现的角速度稳定控制和自旋稳定控制也无法满足姿态控制任务的多样化需求。于是在系统总角动量不为零时,首次提出存在最大程度姿态稳定形式为航天器本体三轴角速度稳定,同时固连于航天器的某一特定视线轴指向任意给定惯性方向。利用一种新的姿态描述形式推导出了角速度为零时航天器的目标姿态,然后基于线性化后的系统设计了线性二次型最优控制器。数值仿真表明利用此控制器能实现所提出的姿态稳定形式,这对于无须实现本体系相对惯性系三轴姿态角为零,而只需对固连于本体的天线或相机进行惯性空间定向控制的航天器将完全满足其姿态控制要求,同时也能提高欠驱动航天器的可靠性。     

AUV的图优化海底地形同步定位与建图方法

海底地形辅助导航技术可为智能水下机器人(AUV)的长时间水下作业提供有界精确导航结果,且无需声学基阵辅助。然而,地形辅助导航需要已知高精度先验海图,这大大限制了其应用范围。为解决海底地形未知条件下的海底地形辅助导航问题,提出了海底地形同步定位与建图技术。利用水深预测手段和地形匹配方法进行帧间数据关联构建和闭环检测,并通过图优化技术进行海底地形同步定位与建图问题求解。仿真试验结果显示,在航行1h后,海底地形同步定位与建图系统的建图结果中所有测深点定位误差均值约为13m。     

欠驱动刚性航天器可行轨迹生成算法研究

研究了仅有两个独立控制力矩的轴对称欠驱动刚性航天器的可行轨迹生成问题。首先,由系统模型推导出轴对称欠驱动航天器可行轨迹必须满足的状态约束条件;其次,基于轴对称欠驱动航天器的微分平滑特性,提出了一种可行轨迹生成算法。该算法针对欧拉角姿态描述的系统模型,不仅能够有效地简化系统平滑变换中的奇异点避让问题,而且即使是在大角度机动的情况下,仍然能够保证轴对称欠驱动航天器的姿态角速度和相应的控制输入力矩始终保持在合理的范围内。仿真结果表明,该算法计算量小、计算速度快,这使得欠驱动航天器后续的轨迹规划和轨迹跟踪等算法的在线实际应用成为可能。     

Robust stationkeeping and reconfiguration of underactuated spacecraft formations

Feasibility of achieving reliable control for spacecraft formation keeping and reconfiguration without the need for thrust in either the radial or along-track direction is explored in this paper. Analysis of the linearized dynamics without along-track input indicates the presence of an uncontrollable eigenvalue at the origin. A nonlinear controller is designed to indirectly stabilize the uncontrollable modes to a stable manifold around the equilibrium. Conditions for robustness against unmatched uncertainties and disturbances are derived to establish the regions of asymptotic stabilization. The benefits of the proposed control method are also validated via numerical simulations to show that precise formation maintenance can be achieved by dealing with the issues of system nonlinearities, variations in initial conditions, and external disturbances, concurrently.     

零角动量欠驱动航天器逆最优稳定控制律设计

研究轮控式零角动量欠驱动航天器姿态最优稳定控制问题。考虑到该类型航天器不存在定常光滑稳定控制律的特点,通过Lyapunov直接法和Backstepping方法设计了一种非线性不连续反馈控制律,同时得到控制Lyapunov函数（CLF）,并由此得到逆最优稳定控制律。该控制律可以避开求解Hamilton-Jacobi方程,最小化某一代价函数,同时具有扇形稳定裕度,对输入不确定性具有一定的鲁棒性。数学仿真结果表明,所设计的非线性不连续反馈控制律能够使姿态渐近稳定至平衡点,并具有最优性,以及在转动惯量存在不确定性时,扇形稳定裕度使系统具有一定的鲁棒性。     

Failure treatment strategy and fault-tolerant path planning of a space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure

Aiming at a space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure, a failure treatment strategy and fault-tolerant path planning method is proposed in this paper. This method can realize failure treatment of a space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure through determination of the optimal locked joint angle and dynamics model reconfiguration. Fault-tolerant path planning is realized by the establishment of the degraded workspace with integrated kinematics performance (DWWIKP) and an improved A-Star (A1) algorithm. This paper has the following contributions. The determination of the optimal locked joint angle can ensure that the manipulator is able to continue follow-up tasks while maximizing the workspace of the manipulator after locking the fault joint. Underactuated control of a high degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator can be effectively solved through dynamics model reconfiguration. The analysis process of the dynamics coupling relationship can be applied to cases where the active joint and the passive joint are parallel or perpendicular to each other. The establishment of the DWWIKP can demonstrate the kinematics performance of the manipulator in both joint space and operation space comprehensively. The improved A1 algorithm based on the integrated kinematics performance index (IKPI) can search a fault-tolerant task trajectory that satisfies the requirements of reachability and the overall kinematics performance simultaneously. The method proposed in this paper is verified by a 7-DOF manipulator, and it is available to any DOF manipulator with free-swinging joint failure.     

基于INS/前视声纳组合的输水隧洞AUV巡检定位方法

当潜航器(AUV)进行输水隧洞巡检时,多普勒测速仪(DVL)声波会对前视声纳图像产生干扰,针对这一问题提出了一种从AUV上卸载DVL,直接从前视声纳图像中提取栽体速度,而后和惯性测量单元(IMU)进行组合导航的方法.该方法根据前视声纳成像原理,建立起每相邻两帧声纳图像间载体的相对位移与配对特征点的图像坐标之间的联系,针对水底为局部平坦区域的情况,对特征点仰角进行了估算.通过惯导速度约束和随机抽样一致(RANSAC)算法,剔除误差较大的配对点,然后利用提取出的载体速度作为观测量进行卡尔曼滤波.经实际数据测试,惯性导航系统(INS)/前视声纳组合的总体性能和INS/DVL组合非常接近,以输水隧洞内的接缝线作为定位基准,INS/前视声纳组合导航在沿隧洞方向上的最大相对定位误差小于行程的1％.     

Spin deployment of Hub-Spoke tethered satellite formation with sliding mode tether tension control

This work develops a tension control strategy for deploying an underactuated spin-stable tethered satellite formation in the hub-spoke configuration. First, the Lagrange equation is used to model the spin-deployment dynamics of the tethered satellite formation. The central spacecraft is modeled as a rigid body, and the tethered subsatellites are simplified as lumped masses. Second, a pure tension controller has been proposed to suppress the tether libration motion in the deployment without thrusting at the subsatellites. A nonlinear sliding mode control is introduced in the tension controller for the underactuated system to suppress the periodic gravitational perturbations caused by the spinning hub-spoke tethered satellite formation. The unknown upper bounds of the perturbations are estimated by adaptive control law. The bounded stability of the closed-loop tension controller has been proved by the Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical simulations validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller, i.e., tethers are fully deployed stably to the desired hub-spoke configuration.
