In this research, an automatic control system is designed for landing of a small helicopter on a 4 DOF moving platform. The platform has three translational and one directional degree of freedom. The controller design approach is based on development of helicopter nonlinear dynamic model into the SDC (State Dependent Coefficient) form and real time solving of state dependent Riccati equation (S...

This paper discusses the demands for proper computer aided control system design tools for mechatronic systems and identifies a number of tasks in this design process. It puts the contributions to the session in perspective and describes how the papers in this session (partly) contribute to a solution. Some issues not addressed in the session are discussed and the current state-of-the-art as pe...
