Nonlinear disturbance rejection control of unmanned aerial vehicle attitude

In this paper, the attitude tracking control problem of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is investigated. To deal with the model uncertainty and external disturbance, we propose an attitude tracking control method by which the controller and observer is designed respectively, based on the attitude error model, Firstly, according to the attitude dynamics of the servo system with quaternion as attitude parameters, the nonlinear error model is built. After that, the nonlinear disturbance observer (NDOB) is employed to online estimate the unknown compound disturbance and make compensation to the control input. Then, a nonlinear generalized predictive controller is designed to stabilize the error system and realize the attitude tracking. Finally, the performance of NDOB is analyzed by using the theory of frequency domain. The simulation and experiment results suggest that in the case of compound disturbance, the proposed method guarantees the system attitude to accurately track the desired value.
