Identificação e Controle de Altitude de um Quadrirrotor

Abstract

In this work approaches the development altitude control for a low-cost quadrotor vehicle. The identification of the model of the altitude dynamics of the quadrotor using the relay method is presented. This method is also a tool in the tuning of a PID controller implemented for dynamics model. Comparisons of controller performances, designed for the identified and mathematically modeled plant, were analyzed, in addition to the performance of the controller tuned by the Relay direct method, without the need for the altitude model. In the experiments, transient response performance parameters were evaluated for a step-type reference input. In addition, the behavior of the compensated altitude for a trapezoidal reference trajectory was evaluated. The results showed that the technique employed is, besides simple, efficient for this type of system.
