Observer-based adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant control for the underactuated space robot with joint actuator gain faults
summary:An adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant controller based on fault observer is proposed for the space robots with joint actuator gain faults. Firstly, the dynamic model of the underactuated space robot is deduced combining conservation law of linear momentum with Lagrange method. Then, the dynamic model of the manipulator joints is obtained by using the mathematical operation of the block matrices, hence the measurement of the angular acceleration of the base attitude can be omitted. Subsequently, a fault observer which can accurately estimate the gain faults is designed, and the estimated results are fed back to the adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant controller. It is proved that the proposed control algorithm can guarantee the global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system through the Lyapunov theorem. The simulation results authenticate the effectiveness and feasibility of the control strategy and observation scheme
Note: An object detection method for active camera
To solve the problems caused by a changing background during object detection in active camera, this paper proposes a new method based on SURF (speeded up robust features) and data clustering. The SURF feature points of each image are extracted, and each cluster center is calculated by processing the data clustering of k adjacent frames. Templates for each class are obtained by calculating the histograms within the regions around the center points of the clustering classes. The window of the moving object can be located by finding the region that satisfies the histogram matching result between adjacent frames. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the effectiveness of object detection.Yong Chen, Ronghua Zhang, Lei Shang, and Eric H
