Digital control of dynamic systems

In this paper, we present two novel algorithms to realize a finite dimensional, linear time-invariant state-space model from input-output data. The algorithms have a number of common features. They are classified as one of the subspace model identification schemes, in that a major part of the identification problem consists of calculating specially structured subspaces of spaces defined by the input-output data. This structure is then exploited in the calculation of a realization. Another common feature is their algorithmic organization: an RQ factorization followed by a singular value decomposition and the solution of an overdetermined set (or sets) of equations. The schemes assume that the underlying system has an output-error structure and that a measurable input sequence is available. The latter characteristic indicates that both schemes are versions of the MIMO Output-Error State Space model identification (MOESP) approach. The first algorithm is denoted in particular as the (elementary MOESP scheme)...

This paper presents a survey of the autopilot systems for small or micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The objective is to provide a summary of the current commercial, open source and research autopilot systems for convenience of potential small UAV users. The UAV flight control basics are introduced first. The radio control system and autopilot control system are then explained from both the hardware and software viewpoints. Several typical off-the-shelf autopilot packages are compared in terms of sensor packages, observation approaches and controller strengths. Afterwards some open source autopilot systems are introduced. Conclusion is made with a summary of the current autopilot market and a remark on the future development.

Autopilots for small unmanned aerial vehicles: A survey

Control Systems Engineering

For robot arm tracking, the authors propose a nonlinear and adaptive approach based on decentralized system structure. Using the passive feature of robots and cubic feedback to treat the nonlinear couplings and quadratic interconnections, the decentralized adaptation is achieved by applying the linear-in-parameters property of the motion equation. The nonlinear feedback improves the performance of PD control from local to global stability and the adaptation reduces its tracking errors. The practical significance of the approaches lies in the fact that they can be implemented in most robots without hardware alteration.

Decentralized control of robot manipulators: nonlinear and adaptive approaches

While having the benefit of mechanical simplicity, model-scale unmanned aerial vehicles with only two elevon control surfaces present interesting challenges in dynamics modeling, autopilot design, and field tuning. Because of limited on-board computing and communication bandwidth, traditional control theory was applied to systematically tune the proportional-integral-derivative-based (PID) autopilots offline. Based on the aerodynamic analysis, its multi-input, multi-output underactuated linear model configuration was deduced. Utilizing the real-time flight data collected from human-controlled test flight, a two-input three-output linear model was obtained by means of system identification. It includes the transfer functions in the airspeed loop, heading loop, and altitude loop. The dynamic behavior of the aircraft was analyzed, and five PID controllers in three loops were designed based on the root-locus techniques. The controllers were implemented and further tuned in field flights with improved performances. We demonstrate that with proper precautions, traditional control theory can be used to solve complex control problems that are often tackled with nonlinear control algorithms.

Modeling, Autopilot Design, and Field Tuning of a UAV With Minimum Control Surfaces

The aim of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of robust H2 and H∞ autopilots to the longitudinal flight motions of a flying wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), P15035, developed by Monash Aerobotics Research Group. The challenge associated with this UAV is related to the fact that all motions are controlled by two independently actuated ailerons, namely elevons, together with its throttle. The scope of this research is nonetheless limited only for elevon control based on the trimmed linear longitudinal flight modes obtained experimentally from the previous study, while the throttle is a constant. Since the real environment is subject to modelling uncertainties and variations, robust H2 and H∞ control systems are designed to withstand such uncertainties and variations. Simulations indicate that the control systems designed poss acceptable performances both in time and frequency domain, with reasonable settling time and overshoots while maintaining reasonably robust stability. It further shows that robust H∞ autopilot has demonstrated superior time domain performances compared with the H2 counterpart.

Stereo Vision based Relative Pose and Motion Estimation for Unmanned Helicopter Landing

This paper depicts the application of linear quadratic optimal control to the longitudinal flight motion of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which has elevon control only. For a trimmed flight model obtained experimentally in previous study we develop in order a Linear Quadratic Regulators (LQR) controller followed by a Kalman filter based estimator for unmeasurable states. The LQR controller is then combined with the Kalman estimator using the separation principle to investigate the feasibility of altitude control. The simulation results show improvements compared with classical design counterparts in the sense that the combined approach offers more design flexibility and is able to tolerate the noisy environments. It shows reasonable altitude holding, taking off and landing performance. The schemes developed through this research will be incorporated in our existing autopilots. Biography
