Differential Flat Control for Rotorcraft Trajectory Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this communication is to investigate the usefulness of the differential flatness control approach to solve the trajectory tracking problem for a four rotor aircraft. After introducing simplifying assumptions, the flight dynamics equations for the four rotor aircraft are considered. A trajectory tracking control structure based on a two layer non linear approach is then proposed. A supervision level is introduced to take into account the actuators limitations.

Trajectory Tracking for a Group of Mini Rotorcraft Flying in Formation
In this paper, we study the problem of flight formation control and trajectory tracking control for a group of mini rotorcraft. The goal is to achieve and maintain a stable formation for multiple mini rotorcraft while guaranteeing the tracking of a desired time-varying reference. A two-level controller is developed where a individual control strategy guarantees the stabilization of each mini ro...

متن کاملRobust Sliding Mode Controller for Trajectory Tracking and Attitude Control of a Nonholonomic Spherical Mobile Robot
Based on dynamic modeling, robust trajectory tracking control of attitude and position of a spherical mobile robot is proposed. In this paper, the spherical robot is composed of a spherical shell and three independent rotors which act as the inner driver mechanism. Owing to rolling without slipping assumption, the robot is subjected to two nonholonomic constraints. The state space representatio...
