Fuzzy adaptive PID control for translational flight of a tail-sitter UAV

Abstract

This study proposes a new fuzzy adaptive PID control strategy to enhance the performance of a tail-sitter UAV in translational flight. First of all, the dynamic model of UAV is built, and then the interference of model parameter perturbation and the disturbance in translational flight is analyzed; Finally, the fuzzy adaptive PID controller is designed to solve the problem of model uncertainty. The simulation results show that the controller has good tracking quality and robustness.
