Speed-gradient method in control problems for mobile mechanical systems

  • Boris Andrievsky

Abstract

Since the mid-1970-th, when the {Speed-gradient method} was originated by Alexander L. Fradkov, it has been further developed and has found various applications in the fields of adaptive control and identification, control of mechanical systems and nonlinear oscillators, control of electromechanical devices, including vibration machines, control of chaotic systems, mobile robots, satellites, control of energy and power systems, control of networks and spatially-distributed systems, etc. In the form of the {Speed gradient principle} it is recognized as an efficient tool for understanding the fundamental laws of Physics. The present survey is focused on the applications of the Speed-gradient method to control of mobile mechanical systems such as aircraft, satellites, car engines, and autonomous aerial and underwater vehicles.
