The paper presents a distributed finite-time controller for multiple under-actuated spacecraft with flexible appendages to track a virtual leader with stationary states under an undirected communication graph. Each spacecraft of concern is simplified as a free-floating hub-beam system, which is an under-actuated Euler-Lagrange system by nature since only the hub is driven. In the undirected communication graph, it is assumed that only one spacecraft can receive the information from the virtual leader. A distributed finite-time control law is presented for such a multi-agent system. The closed-loop system is proven to converge to the desired states within a finite time via Lyapunov theory and homogeneous method. Finally, a comparison is made between the proposed controller and the PD controller to show the better performance of the proposed controller.

We present a complete framework of stochastic thermodynamics for a single-mode linear optical cavity driven on resonance. We first show that the steady-state intracavity field follows the equilibrium Boltzmann distribution. The effective temperature is given by the noise variance, and the equilibration rate is the dissipation rate.

This study presents a strategy for an intelligent vehicle trajectory tracking system that employs an adaptive robust non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control (ARNFTSMC) approach to address the challenges of uncertain nonlinear dynamics. Initially, a path tracking error system based on mapping error is established, along with a speed tracking error system. Subsequently, a novel ARNFTSMC strategy is introduced to tackle the uncertainties and external perturbations encountered during actual vehicle operation.

Existing cooperative manipulation methods for multiple manipulator systems usually assume that the grasp matrix and the desired trajectory of each manipulator are known in advance. In this work, distributed neural adaptive impedance control (AIC) strategies integrating fully distributed observers are proposed to remove both limitations. Specifically, two fully distributed finite-time observers are designed to estimate the actual and ideal states of the reference point without using global information.

This article proposes a finite-time distributed state estimation (DSE) algorithm for discrete-time stochastic nonlinear systems with heterogeneous sensors. Considering the network with heterogeneous sensors, the distributed estimate framework is designed by three phases, namely, priori prediction, measurement update, and consensus fusion. To obtain the accurate priori prediction results, the interactive multiple model (IMM) method is adopted to calculate the priori state value in the priori prediction phase.
