TL;DR: Based on the classic scheme of PID control, a controller is designed, which aims to regulate the posture (position and orientation) of the 6 d.o.f. quadrotor, and the results of flying experiment show that the PID controllers robustly stabilize the Quadrotor.
Abstract: In order to analyze the dynamic characteristics and PID controller performance of a quadrotor, this paper firstly describes the architecture of the quadrotor and analyzes the dynamic model of it. Then, based on the classic scheme of PID control, this paper designs a controller, which aims to regulate the posture (position and orientation) of the 6 d.o.f. quadrotor. Thirdly, the dynamic model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink simulation, and the PID control parameters are obtained according to the simulation results. Finally, a quadrotor with PID controllers is designed and made. In order to do the experiment, a flying experiment for the quadrotor has been done. The results of flying experiment show that the PID controllers robustly stabilize the quadrotor.

TL;DR: In this article, a fractional order PID controller design method is proposed for a class of fractional-order system models, which can model various real materials more adequately than integer order ones and provide a more adequate description of many actual dynamical processes.
Abstract: Fractional order dynamic model could model various real materials more adequately than integer order ones and provide a more adequate description of many actual dynamical processes. Fractional order controller is naturally suitable for these fractional order models. In this paper, a fractional order PID controller design method is proposed for a class of fractional order system models. Better performance using fractional order PID controllers can be achieved and is demonstrated through two examples with a comparison to the classical integer order PID controllers for controlling fractional order systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new approximation scheme which is an extension of the well-established Oustaloup's approximation method, and demonstrated the benefits from using the proposed scheme in both time and frequency domains.
Abstract: Many real world systems, including smart mechatronics systems, can be better characterized by dynamic systems of non-integer order. Using non-integer order or fractional order calculus, fractional order systems can be modeled more authentically. Due to the nature of the infinite dimensional model, proper approximations to fractional order differentiator (salpha, alpha isin Ropf) are fundamentally important. This paper contributed a new approximation scheme which is an extension of the well-established Oustaloup's approximation method. The benefits from using the proposed scheme are illustrated by numerical examples in both time and frequency domains

TL;DR: In this paper, an autonomous vehicle navigation method by integrating the measurements of IMU, GPS, and digital compass is presented, where two steps are adopted to overcome the low precision of the sensors.
Abstract: Autonomous vehicle navigation with standard IMU and differential GPS has been widely used for aviation and military applications. Our research interesting is focused on using some low-cost off-the-shelf sensors, such as strap-down IMU, inexpensive single GPS receiver. In this paper, we present an autonomous vehicle navigation method by integrating the measurements of IMU, GPS, and digital compass. Two steps are adopted to overcome the low precision of the sensors. The first is to establish sophisticated dynamics models which consider Earth self rotation, measurement bias, and system noise. The second is to use a sigma Kalman filter for the system state estimation, which has higher accuracy compared with the extended Kalman filter. The method was evaluated by experimenting on a land vehicle equipped with IMU, GPS, and digital compass.
