CONTROLLER USING FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEMS by SWETHA PANDHITI (Under the Direction of Walter D. Potter) ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to design a controller for low-cost fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV‘s) using fuzzy rules and fuzzy inference systems. The control flow in the architecture design process is considered in four levels Guidance, Navigation, Control & Stability and Communications. The main function of the Fuzzy Logic Control System (FLCS) is to control and stabilize the aircraft while navigating towards different waypoints defined according to the waypoint plan. This idea forms the base for an AI approach to the development of an autopilot unlike the traditional way of using PID controllers for control and navigation.

متن کاملFuzzy Adaptive Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Carrying Time-Varying Cargo on Predefined Path
At present, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been increased dramatically. The reasons for this development are cheapness, smallness, simplicity, and diversity of missions. The simplicity of guidance and control of multi-rotor drones is that they are equipped with an autopilot system. This system is responsible for flying control. UAVs do not have a high weight and often have three...
متن کاملPitch Control Using Hybrid Pid-Fuzzy Controller
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is inherently an unstable system and this necessitated the need of an external controller to stabilize and to control it. In this paper presents the exploration into the simulation, design and analysis of two autopilot schemes: (1) a fuzzy-PID controller and, (2) hybrid PID-Fuzzy controller for controlling pitch plane dynamics of an aircraft. The modeled fuzzy logi...
متن کاملDynamic-Fuzzy-Neural-Networks-Based Control of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
In this paper, hierarchical control of an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is proposed. The proposed controller is made up of two sub-systems, namely inner-loop controller and outer-loop controller. The inner-loop controller is an attitude control system while the outer-loop control system is a trajectory control system. In the proposed architecture, a DFNN-(dynamic-fuzzy-neural-network-) based re...
