In this letter we propose an anti-windup strategy to counteract directionality effects arising in saturated MIMO systems in which independent dynamical subsystems are coupled through a static mixing of the inputs. Since such systems are affected by undesired input cross-couplings when saturation occurs, we propose an anti-windup augmentation scheme built on top of the baseline controller and tailored to achieve satisfactory time-domain performance for reference signals of interest. Motivated by the quadrotor application, in which position control has higher priority over yaw control for safety reasons, we embed in the anti-windup synthesis procedure the possibility to prioritize the level of performance degradation during saturation for the different system outputs.

Abstract

In this letter we propose an anti-windup strategy to counteract directionality effects arising in saturated MIMO systems in which independent dynamical subsystems are coupled through a static mixing of the inputs. Since such systems are affected by undesired input cross-couplings when saturation occurs, we propose an anti-windup augmentation scheme built on top of the baseline controller and tailored to achieve satisfactory time-domain performance for reference signals of interest. Motivated by the quadrotor application, in which position control has higher priority over yaw control for safety reasons, we embed in the anti-windup synthesis procedure the possibility to prioritize the level of performance degradation during saturation for the different system outputs.
