A procedure is described for the design of stable adaptive model reference control systems. This procedure combines the Lya.punov method with the use of sensitivity coefficients. A basic algorithm is. first obtained and the resulting system is shown to be asymptotically stable in the sense of 'eventual stability' as used by La Salle and Rath (196:3) . Modifications of this algorithm are then proposed which arc easier to implement. One of these uses sensitivity coefficients and is studied in some detail. Notation ex, f3 = positive constants a.e. = almost everywhere AND = coincidence operator c = p-dimensioned plant and unadjustable controller parameter vector e, e = scalar and vector error signals k c ' k p = controller gain and process gain k i = value of ith adjustable parameter -\ = maximum rate of adjustment of a parameter A = a positive definite matrix M i = maximum rate of adjustment of the ith parameter ,....( . ) = Lebesgue measure 11' 11 = norm in n-dimensional Euclidean space ill = subset of R" on which the dynamics of the system arc defined D u = product space D 1 x TI 4>(t) = a bounded measurable function on TI r, r = scalar and vector inpu t signals R" = r-dimensioned Euclidean space TI = the interval (0, (0) T/, T_I = subsets of Tl ( .)T = transpose of a vector or matrix X = uncontrollable factors on v(e)
A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a cylindrical structure. The challenge is to fit all the major subsystems found in a satellite, such as power, sensors and a communication system into this minimal volume. The CanSat is then launched to an altitude of few hundred meters by a rocket or dropped from a platform or captive balloon and its mission begins: To carry out a scientific experiment and achieve a safe landing. CanSat is composed of a Carrier and a Lander. Carrier's objective is to measure and transmit variation in Hydrogen gas concentration; change in temperature; altitude by non GPS system; GPS coordinates during its descent. Release of Lander from Carrier at an altitude of 150 m from ground, imaging in the nadir direction is the Lander's mission.
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.
