We develop a nonlinear passive observer, which is used to achieve wave filtering and state estimation. Moreover, the observer can be extended to achieve adaptive wave filtering in varying sea states. Using the estimated low-frequency states, a backstepping sliding mode controller is designed to keep the longitudinal attitude of the unmanned seaplane stable. The stability of the total closed loop system is analyzed by using Lyapunov theory. Simulations are performed in different wave conditions, including Seastate 3 and Seastate 5. The simulations results show that the proposed longitudinal attitude controller can improve the anti-waves capability effectively. Moreover, adaptive wave filter has a significant advantage over a filter with fixed model parameters in varying sea states.展开更多

Two types of optimal filters are introduced into the framework of MPC to relax the assumption of integrated white noise model in existing approaches. The introduced filters are globally optimal for linear systems with unmeasured disturbances that have unknown statistics. This enables the proposed MPC to better handle disturbances without access to disturbance statistics. As a result, the effort required for disturbance modeling can be alleviated. The proposed MPC can achieve offset-free control in the presence of asymptotically constant unmeasured disturbances. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide an improved disturbance ?rejection performance over conventional approaches when applied to the control of systems with unmeasured disturbances that have arbitrary statistics.展开更多

Firstly, the system with unknown input is translated into an equivalent system without unknown imputs by a simple algebraic transformation. Then, a new DDF design scheme, which is very simple, is proposed via innovations theorem. At last, the application of DDF to Maneuvering Targets Tracking is simulated and the simulation results show that DDF is suitable for high maneuvering cases.展开更多
