摘要

This paper presents an innovative control strategy based on reinforcement learning (RL) to tackle the attitude tracking control problem for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), emphasizing both desired transient performance and an optimal long-term performance index. Firstly, a prescribed performance function along with a corresponding error transformation technique is introduced to meet the desired transient and steady-state performance requirements. Next, by incorporating the Actor-Critic Neural Network (NN), a model-free optimal attitude tracking controller is developed, which compensates for model uncertainties and external perturbations in real time. Finally, comparative numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
