The problem of trajectory tracking control for an underactuated stratospheric airship with model parameter uncertainties and wind disturbances is addressed in the paper. An adaptive backstepping sliding-mode controller is ...

As the utilization of stratospheric airships becomes more prevalent, ensuring their safe operation becomes crucial. This paper explores the ability of an L1 adaptive controller to maintain fault tolerance in the actuators ...

The problem of finite-time trajectory tracking control for a multivectored propeller airship with model parameter uncertainties and unknown disturbances is addressed in the paper. In order to obtain a fast transient response ...

This paper proposes an adaptive, three dimensional (3D) path-following controller for airships in the presence of wind disturbances, which explicitly considers that wind speed is time-varying. The main idea is to formulate ...
