Robust guidance and control of aerospace systems under constrained digital implementation

在受限数字实现条件下的制导与控制设计的研究部分是由无人系统的两个趋势所推动的：一个是小型化，另一个是网络化控制系统。 小型化平台包括微型无人机、微型卫星、纳米机器人和精确制导弹药。然而，为了实现这样的系统，用于设计大型飞行器的传统范例在小型飞行器所面临的质量、尺寸和功率的约束下可能不再适用。这样的事实要求在控制器合成和实施阶段有效地使用计算、传感、网络和致动技术。在对车辆性能有严格要求的情况下，有效利用可用资源尤其重要。该项目旨在开发有效利用有限资源所需的工具和技术，并了解实施对航空器性能的不利影响。

Research in guidance and control design under constrained digital implementation is partly motivated by two trends in unmanned systems: one in miniaturization, and the other in networked control systems. Miniaturized platforms include micro UAVs, micro satellites, nanorobots, and precision-guided munitions. To realize such systems, however, traditional paradigms employed for the design of large aerial vehicles may no longer be applicable under the constraints of mass, size and power faced by small-scale vehicles. Such fact calls for an efficient use of computing, sensing, network and actuation technologies at the controller synthesis and implementation phases. Efficient use of available resources is especially important in case of stringent demands in vehicle performance. This project aims at developing the tools and techniques needed for an effective use of limited resources, and to comprehend the impact of adverse implementation effects on the performance of aerial vehicles.
