Nonlinear Extended State Observer

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of two nonlinear observers: nonlinear extended state observer and sliding mode observer for estimating the pitch, yaw and roll angles and angular rates of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles system under a decoupled-reduced model in real flight experiments. A backstepping control law is designed for control in a decentralized way for altitude, yaw and roll of the airplane. This scheme allows us to test experimentally the feasibility of using the online estimated data from the observers in flight control, which is useful for increasing the robustness of the control and the safety of flight. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the performance of both nonlinear observers is conducted.

Autonomous Helicopter

This paper present the design and implementation of a dual-redundant flight control system for a miniature autonomous helicopter, named SRD-Heli. The systematic design procedure includes hardware integration, flight control law, exchange scheme, as well as experimental evaluation. A dual-redundant control architecture is adopted to construct the flight control system for the helicopter. The control architecture is composed by (1) an active flight control law designed for the active computer, which works in normal condition, (2) a standby flight control law to effectively control the helicopter by standby computer in fault condition. The result of actual flight tests shows that the flight control system is capable of achieving the desired performance.

Operational Level

UAV visual simulation training system is a vital part of the UAV simulation training system. It is made up of simulation models for UAV and airborne platform mathematical, UAV visual and ground-station control system. It prevents a realistic virtual environment for UAV operator by simulating UAV flight control law and the actual flight environments. In order to train operational level, test weapons and validate tactical thinking economically and efficiently. This paper prevented the function, architecture, hardware deployment, running conditions and realization of real simulation module.
