Linear and Nonlinear Controllers Applied to Fixed-Wing UAV
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a comparison of controllers which have been applied to a fixed‐wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The comparison is realized between classical linear controllers and nonlinear control laws. The concerned linear controllers are: Proportional‐ Derivative (PD) and Proportional‐Integral‐Derivative (PID), while the nonlinear controllers are: backstepping, sliding modes, nested saturation and fuzzy control. These controllers are compared and analysed for altitude, yaw and roll by using simulation tests.

متن کاملNonlinear Trajectory Tracking for Fixed Wing UAVs via Backstepping and Parameter Adaptation
Equipping a fixed wing unmanned air vehicle (UAV) with low-level autopilots, we derive high-level velocity and roll angle control laws for the UAV. Backstepping techniques are applied to design the velocity and roll angle control laws from known velocity and heading angle control laws that explicitly account for velocity and heading rate constraints of the UAV. Regarding unknown autopilot const...

This paper presents an adaptive Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) for the path tracking control of a fixed-wing unmanned aircraft. The objective is to minimize the mean and maximum error between the reference trajectory and the UAV. Navigating in a cluttered environment requires accurate tracking. However linear controllers cannot provide good tracking performance due to nonlinearities ...
متن کاملComprehensive Nonlinear Modeling of a Miniature Unmanned Helicopter
A nonlinear flight dynamics model that can be adopted by small-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) helicopters is presented. To minimize structural complexity, the proposed nonlinear model contains only four essential components, i.e., kinematics, rigid-body dynamics, main rotor flapping dynamics, and yaw rate feedback controller dynamics. A five-step parameter determination procedure is propos...
متن کاملNonlinear Model Predictive Guidance for Fixed-wing UAVs Using Identified Control Augmented Dynamics
As off-the-shelf (OTS) autopilots become more widely available and user-friendly and the drone market expands, safer, more efficient, and more complex motion planning and control will become necessary for fixed-wing aerial robotic platforms. Considering typical low-level attitude stabilization available on OTS flight controllers, this paper first develops an approach for modeling and identifica...
