Abstract
This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) approach based on the extended disturbance observer (EDOB) for trajectory tracking of a coaxial octorotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). First, the system dynamic model is derived using Newton–Euler relations in the presence of time-varying centre of gravity (COG); then, a two-loop cascade structure is presented to perform the trajectory tracking task. Both loops are controlled using MPC with feedforward compensation based on the EDOB to improve disturbance rejection abilities. When the mass changes, the moment of inertia and COG are affected. The EDOB simultaneously estimates the effects of time-varying mass, external disturbances, and parametric uncertainties in six degrees of freedom. After obtaining virtual control inputs using designed controllers, constrained control allocation is used to obtain rotors speed in a valid range. The proposed control scheme is evaluated using simulation. The simulation results show the ability of the developed control strategy in accurate trajectory tracking and stable flight in different conditions and being robust to uncertainty and disturbance.
期刊介绍:
IET Control Theory & Applications is devoted to control systems in the broadest sense, covering new theoretical results and the applications of new and established control methods. Among the topics of interest are system modelling, identification and simulation, the analysis and design of control systems (including computer-aided design), and practical implementation. The scope encompasses technological, economic, physiological (biomedical) and other systems, including man-machine interfaces.
Most of the papers published deal with original work from industrial and government laboratories and universities, but subject reviews and tutorial expositions of current methods are welcomed. Correspondence discussing published papers is also welcomed.
Applications papers need not necessarily involve new theory. Papers which describe new realisations of established methods, or control techniques applied in a novel situation, or practical studies which compare various designs, would be of interest. Of particular value are theoretical papers which discuss the applicability of new work or applications which engender new theoretical applications.
