Abstract EN
The problem of UAV trajectory tracking is a difficult issue for scholars and engineers, especially when the target curve is a complex curve in the three-dimensional space.
In this paper, the coordinate frames during the tracking process are transformed to improve the tracking result.
Firstly, the basic concepts of the moving frame are given.
Secondly the transfer principles of various moving frames are formulated and the Bishop frame is selected as a final choice for its flexibility.
Thirdly, the detailed dynamic equations of the moving frame tracking method are formulated.
In simulation, a moving frame of an elliptic cylinder helix is formulated precisely.
Then, the devised tracking method on the basis of the dynamic equations is tested in a complete flight control system with 6 DOF nonlinear equations of the UAV.
The simulation result shows a satisfactory trajectory tracking performance so that the effectiveness and efficiency of the devised tracking method is proved.
