Popis: Trajectory optimization is an essential tool for the high-fidelity planning of missions in aerospace engineering in order to increase their safety. Robust optimal control methods are utilized in the present study to address environmental or system uncertainties. To improve robustness, holistic approaches for robust trajectory optimization using sensitivity minimization with system feedback and predicted feedback are presented. Thereby, controller gains to handle uncertainty influences are optimized. The proposed method is demonstrated in an application for UAV trajectories. The resulting trajectories are less prone to unknown factors, which increases mission safety.
