Abstract
This paper addresses the prescribed-time attitude tracking issue for an uncertain nonlinear 2-Degree of Freedom (DOF) helicopter. Based on the Euler-Lagrange equations, a nonlinear model is developed for the 2-DOF helicopter, where the system parameters and control input constant coefficients are unknown. The proposed prescribed-time control is based on adaptive backstepping and utilized to track the desired pitch and yaw positions separately. Using the theory of Lyapunov stability, we show that the proposed prescribed-time control and adaptive law ensure the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals of the system for all future time. A noticeable advantage of the proposed method is that the upper bound of the settling time can be specified in advance. Finally, to verify the efficacy and control capabilities of the proposed scheme, simulations are conducted on the Quanser 2-DOF helicopter system.
