Abstract

Model-error control synthesis is a nonlinear robust control approach that uses an approximate receding-horizon estimation algorithm to cancel the effects of modelling errors and external disturbances on a system. In this paper the state prediction equations in the approximate receding-horizon algorithm are modified so that the solution provides better performance than the original approach. To verify the results the new approach is applied to the spacecraft attitude control problem with attitude-angle measurements only, i.e., without any angular-velocity measurements. Also, an optimal design scheme is presented to determine the weighting factor and receding-horizon time-length. In addition the closed-loop system is shown to be globally quadratically stable for a norm bounded nonlinear uncertainty. Simulation results are provided to show the performance of the new control approach.
