چکیده

In this contribution we investigate the problem of linear velocity estimation of a Gun Launched Micro Air Vehicle (GLMAV), which is a new Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) concept, intended for outdoor flight, and using two-bladed coaxial contra-rotating rotors. The linear velocity estimation is realized using a simple time-varying Luenberger-like observer, and only using partial measurmements of an Inertial Management Unit (IMU). Simple conditions of the observation-error-asymptotic-stability are given in terms of physical variables of the GLMAV. The reduced-order observer stability analysis is realized through the Lyapunov approach and the Barbalat’s lemma. Simulations results show the effectiveness of the estimation technique applied to the presented GLMAV model, identified from experimental results.

Fuzzy 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...

Unmanned aerial vehicle field sampling and antenna pattern reconstruction using Bayesian compressed sensing

Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...

Detection of Additive Sensor Faults in an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) Model using Neural Networks

Sensor fault detection and isolation (SFDI) is an already well-established field where popular methods, such as unknown input observers, are mostly based on linear time-invariant system equations. New approaches consider neural networks (NNs) as nonlinear system approximators and make use of their online learning capabilities to adapt to time-varying systems. This paper aims to contribute to th...

A simple time-varying observer for speed estimation of UAV

This note deals with the speed estimation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using linear acceleration measurements. The estimator is a useful time-varying reduced-order Luemberger like observer such that the observation error is reduced to a time varying linear differential equation. Asymptotic stability of the estimation error is proved using the Lyapunov approach and the Barbalat lemma. Moreov...

System Identification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The least squares method has been applied to estimate parameters in an aerodynamic model of a simulated aircraft, using data that can be expected to available from sensors on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. A combination of two non-linear state observers have been implemented to estimate wind data such as angle of attack, sideslip and dynamic pressure. Simulations have confirmed that the observers ...
