Abstract:

Aiming at the attitude control problem of morphing aircraft with internal model uncertainty and external multi-source disturbance in the morphing process, reinforcement learning algorithm is combined with active disturbance rejection controller to adapt to the aircraft shape change and combat the internal and external disturbance of the system through training, which is an optimal compensation control strategy of disturbance rejection compensation based on reinforcement learning (RL-DRCC). In the experiment, RL-DRCC is used for simulation, and the control effect before compensation is compared. The results verify the superiority of the proposed control strategy, and the disturbace rejection compensation controller based on the dual delay depth deterministic policy gradient algorithm has the best effect. The output jitter of the control quantity under disturbance is effectively suppressed, the overall tracking accuracy of the attitude angle is improved, and the robustness of the attitude control in complex environments is promoted. Finally, random morphing commands and disturbance conditions are verified. The results show that the proposed method can effectively deal with various morphing commands and complex unknown conditions, and has good generalization and adaptive ability.
