LPV Based Robust Gain – Scheduling Control for Transient Mode of Morphing UAV

Abstract:

Robust Gain-Scheduling control based on Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) system is researched in theory and applied to transient mode control of a morphing wing UAV (MUAV). H∞ output feedback control method is extended to the LPV system via parameterized LMIs. In application, LPV model of MUAV is established using the Jacobian linearization method, based on which an LPV controller is designed using the proposed method to control the attitudes of transient mode in morphing process, the problem of high frequency dynamics is found and solved by a robust pole constraint method. Monte-Carlo simulation is performed for 30 times, by which satisfactory performance and robustness of the LPV controller is revealed.
