Abstract:
Redundant actuators provide the opportunity to allocate control effort to account for saturation and other input constraints. This is especially true in wide systems, where the number of input channels is greater than the number of outputs. The present paper considers the control allocation problem within the context of adaptive control. In particular, for retrospective cost adaptive control (RCAC), the target model is shown to constrain the direction of the vector of inputs. This directional constraint is used within RCAC to enforce control allocation across the input channels of wide systems. This approach is applied to the allocation of rudder and aileron inputs for lateral flight control.
