This article presents a robust control scheme for the trajectory tracking problem of a three-degree-offreedom helicopter with prescribed transient and steadystate performance. The control design does not employ any information regarding the dynamics of the system. In addition, the transient and steady-state response of the system with respect to a given time-varying trajectory is a priori and explicitly imposed by certain designer-specified performance functions and is fully decoupled from the control gain selection and the dynamic model parameters. Finally, both simulation and experimental results verify the theoretical findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
