System Design for a Small Autonomous Helicopter
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detailed system design ofa· smallexperimental autonomous helicopter is described. The system requires no ground-to-helicopter communications and hence all automation hardware is on-board the helicopter. All elements ofthe system are described including the control computer, the flight computer (the helicopter-to-control-computer interface), the sensors and the software. A number of critical implementation issues are also discussed.

Intelligent Auto pilot Design for a Nonlinear Model of an Autonomous Helicopter by Adaptive Emotional Approach
There is a growing interest in the modeling and control of model helicopters using nonlinear dynamic models and nonlinear control. Application of a new intelligent control approach called Brain Emotional Learning Based Intelligent Controller (BELBIC) to design autopilot for an autonomous helicopter is addressed in this paper. This controller is applied to a nonlinear model of a helicopter. This...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation , Guidance and Control of Small Electric Helicopter Regular Paper
In this study, we design an autonomous navigation, guidance and control system for a small electric helicopter. Only small, light‐weight, and inaccurate sensors can be used for the control of small helicopters because of the payload limitation. To overcome the problem of inaccurate sensors, a composite navigation system is designed. The designed navigation sys...

An autonomous robot with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability could be useful for many applications including search and rescue, exploration in hazardous environments, monitoring, surveillance and investigation or even for intelligence. However design of a flight control system for a small UAV is a challenging task. Unlike in conventional aircrafts the control algorithm has to be imp...
متن کاملTail Motion Model Identification for Control Design of an Unmanned Helicopter
This paper explains the methodology developed to design the yaw control system (heading control system) of the α-SAC UAV. The problem of modeling and controlling the tail motion of this UAV along a desired trajectory is considered. First, the response data of the system are collected during special flight test and a linear time invariant model is extracted by identification techniques. Then, th...
