Design and implementation of fuzzy controller for estimating the attitude of unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

This paper describes the design of Compact, accurate and inexpensive Fuzzy Logic Controllers and Fuzzy Inference Systems which estimates the attitude of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV).Attitude refers to parameters of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle such as latitude, longitude and altitude and angles of rotation known as pitch and roll. A Soft Computing technique called Fuzzy Logic is used to design the Fuzzy Logic Controllers and Fuzzy Inference Systems. Visual simulation tool and Aerosim (Aeronautical Simulation Set) Flight gear interface are used for Simulation purpose. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
