Abstract
Abstract In adaptive model-based control systems, determining the appropriate controller gain is a complex and time-consuming task due to noise and external disturbances. Changes in the controller parameters were assumed to be dependent on the quadcopter mass, which was the process variable. A nonlinear model of the plant was used to identify the mass, employing the weighted recursive least squares (WRLS) method for online identification. The identification and control processes involved filtration using differential filters, which provided appropriate derivatives of signals. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controller tuning was performed using the Gauss–Newton optimisation procedure on the plant. Differential filters played a crucial role in all the developed control systems by significantly reducing measurement noise. The results showed that the performance of classical PID controllers can be improved by using differential filters and gain scheduling. The control and identification algorithms were implemented in an National Instruments (NI) myRIO-1900 controller. The nonlinear model of the plant was built based on Newton’s equations.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
