The Stabilizer Design for a Drone-Mounted Camera Gimbal System Using Intelligent-PID Controller and Tuned Mass Damper

Abstract

Drones in flight make a variety of vibration frequencies. Therefore, gimbal system is needed to get clean images from drone-mounted cameras. The system consists of two things: one is a structure to support a camera module, and another is a stabilizer to block outside vibrations and keep the right angle. The purpose of this paper focuses on the system's dynamics model and the application of a traditional PID controller. Furthermore, the paper compares the traditional PID and intelligent-PID without any dynamics model through the simulation made of MATLAB/Simulink.
