Attitude Control of a Single Tilt Tri-Rotor UAV System: Dynamic Modeling and Each Channel's Nonlinear Controllers Design

Abstract EN

This paper has implemented nonlinear control strategy for the single tilt tri-rotor aerial robot.

Based on Newton-Euler’s laws, the linear and nonlinear mathematical models of tri-rotor UAVs are obtained.

A numerical analysis using Newton-Raphson method is chosen for finding hovering equilibrium point.

Back-stepping nonlinear controller design is based on constructing Lyapunov candidate function for closed-loop system.

By imitating the linguistic logic of human thought, fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are designed based on control rules and membership functions, which are much less rigid than the calculations computers generally perform.

Effectiveness of the controllers design scheme is shown through nonlinear simulation model on each channel.
