The invention discloses an
adaptive control method for a quadrotor aircraft based on a hyperbolic tangent enhanced constant-speed approach law and a fast
terminal sliding mode surface. The method comprises the following steps: 1, determining a
transfer matrix from a body coordinate
system based on the quadrotor aircraft to an
inertial coordinate system based on the earth; 2, analyzing a quadrotoraircraft
kinetic model according to the Newton-Euler equation; 3, calculating a
tracking error, and designing a controller according to the fast
terminal sliding mode surface and a first-order derivative thereof. The method combines the hyperbolic tangent enhanced constant-speed approach law control and the fast
terminal sliding mode control, so the method can increase the approach speed during departing from the sliding mode surface, also can reduce the
jitter, improves the quickness and robustness of the
system, achieves the quick and stable control, also can achieve the
finite time controlof the
tracking error, and solves a problem that only when time approaches to infinity in the conventional sliding mode surface, can the
tracking error approach to zero. Meanwhile, the method achievesthe adaptive
estimation of the boundary of interference, and improves the stability of the
system.
