Popis: This paper investigates the attitude tracking control problem for the cruise mode of a dual-system convertible unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the presence of parameter uncertainties, unmodeled uncertainties and wind disturbances. First, a fixed-time disturbance observer (FXDO) based on the bi-limit homogeneity theory is designed to estimate the lumped disturbance of the convertible UAV model. Then, a fixed-time integral sliding mode control (FXISMC) is combined with the FXDO to achieve strong robustness and chattering reduction. Bi-limit homogeneity theory and Lyapunov theory are applied to provide detailed proof of the fixed-time stability. Finally, numerical simulation experimental results verify the robustness of the proposed algorithm to model parameter uncertainties and wind disturbances. In addition, the proposed algorithm is deployed in a open-source UAV autopilot and its effectiveness is further demonstrated by hardware-in-the-loop experimental results.
