Co-simulation platform for geometric design, trajectory control and guidance of racing drones

Abstract

The design of racing drones brings quite a thrilling challenge from a flight dynamics point of view. This work aims to offer a single-based simulation platform combining its geometric design, trajectory control, and guidance of racing drones. Also, it is reckoned from a pilot’s view in a classic FPV competition. Hence, it is an active platform for studying racing drones’ design founded on dynamics, with fifteen different drone models. It is one of the few existing platforms that combine all aspects of racing drones in a single simulation environment. Also, it is open access via Matlab Central - File Exchange.
