Unmanned Vehicle Controller Design, Evaluation and Implementation: From MATLAB to Printed Circuit Board

Designing and implementation of an unmanned aerial vehicle for inspection of electricity distribution networks

One of the most crucial elements of each country is electricity distribution networks (EDN). Awareness of accidents in EDN could be very important in the conservation and utilization of them. The accurate and periodic inspections can provide a good service to subscribers. The goal of this project is to fabricate a quad rotor, which can do an accurate and a periodic inspection. The design and im...

Development of research platform for unmanned vehicle controller design, evaluation, and implementation system: From MATLAB to hardware based embedded system

Model Predictive Controller Design for a Novel Moving Mass Controlled Bi-rotor UAV

This paper presents design and implementation of Model Based Predictive Controller (MPC) for a novel Bi-Rotor Moving Mass Controlled (MMC) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Due to the strict constrained control inputs in this type of UAV, it is necessary to take into account the constrained controller design and un-constrained control methods are not applicable. MPC controller which is designed ba...

Fpga Based Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Controller for Full Vehicle Nonlinear Active Suspension Systems

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is proposed to build an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for controlling a full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system. A Very High speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) has been used to implement the proposed controller. An optimal Fraction Order PI λ D μ (FOPID) controller is designed for a full vehicle nonlinear ...

Quadrotor UAV Guidence For Ground Moving Target Tracking

The studies in aerial vehicles modeling and control have been increased rapidly recently. In this paper , a coordination of two types of heterogeneous robots , namely unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is considered. In this paper the UAV plays the role of a virtual leader for the UGVs. The system consists of a vision- based target detection algorithm that uses the ...
