Multi-Mode Flight Control Simulation of UAV Based on Stateflow and GUI

Abstract:

Considering a UAV has different flight control modes, such as remote control instruction flight and auto-navigation flight, this paper uses modular designing method to describe the overall structure of simulation model, and based on the way of loading waypoint, focuses on discussing the control logic of auto-navigation flight. Furthermore, according to the flight control logic of UAV, the simulation model was built by using Stateflow, and combining with Matlab GUI, the remote control instruction was realized. The simulation results in the auto-navigation flight can effectually verify the correctness of the design of flight navigation strategies and control law. It is practical to build the simulation environment by using Stateflow and GUI technology.
