Position Control of Quadrotor using Firefly Algorithm

The quadrotor is a VTOL-capable unmanned aerial vehicle with excellent agility, four propellers, and six degrees of freedom. Because their simple structure low cost, they have attracted lot interest in recent years. Despite its apparent simplicity, nonlinearities linked dynamics make control difficult. nature, PD extensively utilized quadrotors. A controller for altitude position stabilization proposed this paper, parameters calculated using the Firefly Algorithm Genetic Algorithm. An objective function developed to offer not only precise positioning target position, but also enhance motion's settling time. test path from rest examined performance verification suggested method. obtained findings show that may be accomplished short amount time, time significantly reduced when compared specified settings by determined via optimization method surpass ones chosen substantial margin.
