A new suboptimal control method is proposed in this study to effectively design an integrated
guidance and control system for missiles. Optimal formulations allow designers to bring …

In this paper, a new non‐linear control synthesis technique (θ–D approximation) is
discussed. This approach achieves suboptimal solutions to a class of non‐linear optimal …

This paper investigates the control of spacecraft to approach to and align with a tumbling
target. The potential application is to perform on-orbit autonomous satellite servicing. In …

PROTECTING an aircraft from missile attack is a challenging issue. Most missile guidance
algorithms [1–11] use information basically about the missile and the target but not that of …

This article proposes an integrated optimal control strategy for a servicing spacecraft in
proximity operations on a target in space. The relative position vector between the servicing …

A new method is proposed for robust control of spacecraft in proximity orbit servicing
operations from an optimal control formulation. It can be shown that the robust control of the …

A high order optimal control strategy is proposed in this work, based on the use of differential
algebraic techniques. In the frame of orbital mechanics, differential algebra allows to …

In this paper, we propose a new optimal control method for robust control of nonlinear robot
manipulators. Many industrial robot systems are required to perform relatively large angular …

This paper explores two non‐linear control techniques for designing an effective control
system for an omnidirectional autonomous mobile robot with four Mecanum wheels. Due to …

This paper discusses the development of a computationally efficient approach to generate
optimal feedback control laws for infinite time problems by solving the corresponding …
