Adaptive Friction Compensation Applied to Positioning of a Space-Station Solar Array

TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive friction compensation control scheme for linear systems with unknown frictions was developed for the positioning of a space-station solar array, where a friction model including kinetic, viscous, static and Stribeck friction components was parameterized for adaptive estimation.
Book ChapterDOI

Disturbance cancellation and drift of adaptive gains

TL;DR: In this article, the adaptive laws adjust the controller gains to create zeros which cancel the disturbance poles, and the controller gain will drift to infinity in order to create a feedback loop with infinite gain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commentary: Some Aspects of Optimal Control Theory

TL;DR: Five papers to be presented at the Optimal Control Theory session of the 5th World Congress of the International Federation of Automatic Control are motivated by realistic problems and broaden the applicability potential of control theory and simplify implementation of near-optimal control laws.
