Adaptive Control for Trajectory Tracking of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract:

In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with fixed-wing in normal condition flight, and fixed height, is considered and along with this process, kinematics model of UAV, assumed to have parametric uncertainty. In this situation the target of designing of proper controller family, based on switching logic, is to control the speed and roll angle of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle in order to track desired path with minimum error. The desired path will be generated by trajectory maker block. The results of simulation on a fixed-wing UAV are presented to show the efficiency of the method.
