Design and Implementation of Disturbance Sliding Mode Observer for Enhancing the Dynamic Control Precision of Inertial Stabilization Platform

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In order to enhance the dynamic control precision of inertial stabilization platform (ISP), a disturbance sliding mode observer (DSMO) is proposed in this paper suppressing disturbance torques inherent within the system. The control accuracy of ISP is fundamentally circumscribed by various disturbance torques in rotating shaft. Therefore, a dynamic model of ISP incorporating composite perturbations is established with regard to the stabilization of axis in the inertial reference frame. Subsequently, an online estimator for control loop uncertainties based on the sliding mode control algorithm is designed to estimate the aggregate disturbances of various parameters uncertainties and other unmodeled disturbances that cannot be accurately calibrated. Finally, the proposed DSMO is integrated into a classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control scheme, utilizing feedforward approach to compensate the composite disturbance in the control loop online. The effectiveness of the proposed disturbance observer is validated through simulation and hardware experimentation, demonstrating a significant improvement in the dynamic control performance and robustness of the classical PID controller extensively utilized in the field of engineering.
