Attitude control design for a multirotor UAV: a predictor-based approach

Marco Lovera Professor, Department of Aerospace Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy.
Abstract:
In this paper, the problem of designing the attitude control law of a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is considered and a data-driven approach is proposed. With respect to previous work, the data-driven approach considered in this paper is the novel Virtual Reference Predictor-Based (VRPB) method, which will be used to design the controller based on data collected during closed-loop operation. Simulation results generated using a model of the attitude dynamics of a quadrotor UAV are used to illustrate the performance of the proposed design method.
