چکیده

Abstract: This paper presents a predictive and nonlinear robust control strategy to solve the path tracking problem for a quadrotor helicopter. The dynamic motion equations are obtained by the Lagrange-Euler formalism. The control structure is performed through a model-based predictive controller (MPC) to track the reference trajectory and a nonlinear H∞ controller to stabilize the rotational movements. Simulations results in presence of aerodynamic disturbances and parametric uncertainty are presented to corroborate the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed strategy.

Nonlinear H-Infinity Controller for the Quad-Rotor Helicopter with Input Coupling

Abstract: This paper presents a nonlinear H∞ control law for underactuated mechanical systems with input coupling. Apart from the controlled degrees of freedom (DOF), the proposed controller considers the dynamics of the remaining DOF in the cost variable, which allows to stabilize them. The underactuated mechanical system is normalized to obtain a diagonal inertia matrix allowing to weigh with...

Fault Tolerant Model Predictive Control of Quad-Rotor Helicopters with Actuator Fault Estimation

Model predictive control (MPC) at each time step minimizes a cost function subject to dynamical constraints to obtain a stabilizing control signal. Further, MPC is one of the few methodologies that can be used to design feedback control for nonlinear dynamical systems taking into consideration of actuator saturations. It can thus serve as a suitable fault tolerant control approach for quad-roto...

Quad-Rotor UAV: High-Fidelity Modeling and Nonlinear PID Control

Quad-rotor helicopter is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), whose lift is generated by four rotors located on the corner of X-shape. Due to simplicity of its dynamics and its ability to hover, quadrotor helicopter becomes as a popular platform for UAV. Current designs mostly consider a linear model for controller design. In this paper, we derivate nonlinear dynamic equations of the quadrotor UAV...
