Abstract

In this paper, a fixed-time dual closed-loop attitude control method is investigated for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Firstly, a fixed-time adaptive fast super-twisting disturbance observer is presented for estimating the unknown external disturbance. A modified adaptive law is employed based on an equivalent control method to obtain proper observer gains. Secondly, a fixed-time controller is designed by using a universal barrier Lyapunov function to satisfy asymmetric tracking error constraints. Then, a tracking differentiator is utilised to arrange the transition process. Finally, the implementation of the developed method in a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle is performed. Through stability analysis and simulation results, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed fixed-time control method are validated.
