英文摘要

      We investigate the control problem with three degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) for the parafoil system in the optimal homing trajectory design. The control parameterization and time-scaling techniques are employed to generate numerical solutions. The method is based on an optimization algorithm of sensitivity analysis in which control variables and their transform time are converted to an optimization problem of a series of parameters for simultaneous solving. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our computational optimal control algorithm. Instead of solving the two-point boundary value problem (TBVP) from the Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP), we propose a method that requires only the integration of the state ODE and the sensitivity system with known initial conditions for all the equations, making the computational cost much less than that in solving the TBVP. Although the dimension of the sensitivity system is higher than that of the adjoint equation of the TBVP, it still can reduce the computational cost significantly. This method can effectively improve the accuracy in landing a parafoil system and reduce the control energy consumption, showing the feasibility of the proposed optimization algorithm.
