Abstract
In this paper, a double-loop tracking control strategy with finite-time convergence is investigated for a switched-trajectory quadrotor subjected to gust winds in air–ground cooperation. To handle the complexity of switched-trajectory tracking, an adaptive tracking differentiator is presented in an outer loop to arrange transition processes. Fast integral terminal sliding mode control is also used in the outer loop to improve convergence speed and tracking accuracy. The gust winds are estimated and compensated by a nonlinear extended state observer and a nonlinear controller with finite-time convergence in an inner loop, respectively. Convergency analyses are presented with the double-loop tracking control strategy for the switched-trajectory quadrotor. Comparison experiments with existing studies show superior performances of the proposed control method for the quadrotor in air–ground cooperation under gust winds.
