Constant Altitude Flight Control for Quadrotor UAVs with Dynamic Feedforward Compensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study addresses the control problem of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during the transition period when the flying mode changes from hovering to translational motion in the horizontal plane. First, we introduce a compensation algorithm that improves height stabilization and reduces altitude drop. The main principle is to incorporate pitch and roll measurements into the feedforward term of the altitude controller to provide a larger thrust force. To further improve altitude control, we propose the fuzzy logic controller that improves system behavior. Simulation results presented in the paper highlight the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

متن کاملOptimization of Energy Consumption for Quadrotor UAV
In this paper we deals with the limitation of flight endurance for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles. Quadrotor UAVs are multi-rotors flying machines; thus, a large proportion of their energy is consumed by rotors in order to maintain the vehicle in the air. In this concept, we introduced an energetic model composed of quadrotor movement dynamic, motors dynamic and battery dynamic; then, the p...
