Novel Method

Kinematical and dynamical equations of a small scale unmanned helicoper are presented in the paper. Based on these equations a model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed for controlling the helicopter. This novel method allows the direct accounting for the existing time delays which are used to model the dynamics of actuators and aerodynamics of the main rotor. Also the limits of the actuators are taken into the considerations during the controller design. The proposed control algorithm was verified in real flight experiments where good perfomance was shown in postion control mode.

Small Unmanned Helicopter

Field survey provides data for further research and is a key link in research on traditional settlements and other architectural heritage. However, due to the complexity of the landform, layout, orientation of buildings, forms and structures of traditional settlements, mapping and other fieldwork may take much time and efforts and are very difficult. Besides, satellite remote sensing data are few. Therefore it is necessary to introduce some advanced equipment and technology for spatial information acquisition. Through years of experiments with aerial and ground-based equipments, the author finds that small unmanned helicopter, with its multi-functional spatial information acquisition capacity, is the best choice for the research of traditional settlements and other related fields.
