L1 Adaptive Control of the Stewart-Gough Flight Simulator Platform in the Task Space

This paper presents an L
₁
adaptive control methodology of the Stewart-Gough flight simulator platform in the task space. The controller has a low-pass filter in feedback-loop to avoid high frequencies in the control signals, and the required transient performance can be enhanced by increasing the adaptive gain, which can improve the transient and smoothness of flight simulator platform. The performance of L
₁
adaptive controller is obtained by comparing with traditional model reference adaptive controller (MRAC). And some additional simulations are carried out to show the performance of the controller.
