主旋翼升力和机身姿态受限的模型直升机非线性控制

针对主旋翼升力和机身姿态受限的6自由度模型无人直升机的轨迹跟踪控制问题设计了一种非线性控制器.在控制器设计过程中,直升机的数学模型被简化为三个子系统: 姿态子系统,纵-侧向子系统和高度子系统,所设计的控制器由针对这三个子系统的子控制器组成.纵-侧向和高度子控制器基于双曲正切函数进行设计,以保证满足受限条件; 姿态子控制器利用反步法设计,使得机身姿态能够跟踪纵-侧向和高度子系统的虚拟控制.本文在理论上证明了闭环系统跟踪误差最终有界,并且控制器满足受限条件.仿真结果证实了所设计控制器的性能.

Nonlinear Control for a Model-scaled Helicopter with Constraints on Rotor Thrust and Fuselage Attitude

A nonlinear control is proposed for trajectory tracking of a 6-DOF model-scaled helicopter with constraints on main rotor thrust and fuselage attitude. In the procedure of control design, the mathematical model of helicopter is simplified into three subsystems: altitude subsystem, longitudinal-lateral subsystem and attitude subsystem. The proposed control is developed by combining the sub-controls for the corresponding subsystems. The sub-controls for altitude subsystem and longitudinal-lateral subsystem are designed with hyperbolic tangent functions to satisfy the constraints; the sub-control for attitude subsystem is based on backstepping technique such that fuselage attitude tracks the virtual control for longitudinallateral subsystem. It is proved theoretically that tracking errors are ultimately bounded, and control constraints are satisfied. Performances of the proposed controller are demonstrated by simulation results.
