Abstract :
A 3-DOF helicopter attitude tracking control system is described as a MIMO strict-feedback form system with unknown parameters, bounded disturbances and nonlinear uncertain cross-couplings. A new design method based on signal compensation technique and backstepping strategy is proposed. For each subsystem, a robust controller consists of a nominal controller and a robust compensator. Robust practical tracking property of closed-loop system is proven and the excellent performance is demonstrated by means of experimental results.
