Estudo e aplicação de técnicas de controle embarcadas para estabilização de vôo de quadricópteros

Abstract

This present work aims to apply and compare linear and nonlinear control techniques in attitude stabilization of a quadricopter. At first, is presented a aircraft dynamic model for simulation and control of the system. Then, will be described the principles of operation and some important characteristics about quadricopter’s assembling. Based on dynamic model, the control techniques are used to design the controllers. Four different controllers were designed: a PID controller, a LQR controller, a Lyapunov’s stability theory based controller, and a backstepping controller. They are applied to control the aircraft attitude, having as main task the inflight stabilization of quadricopter. At the end, the controllers are compared, validated and the simulation results and real implementation are presented. The best results of quadricopter attitude control are obtained using the nonlinear control technique of Backstepping.
