Обозначены основные проблемы, связанные с разработкой интеллектуального решателя задач автоматической системы управления целенаправленным поведением интегрального беспилотного летательного аппарата в наземной проблемной среде. Рассмотрена конструкция типовых элементов представления знаний безотносительно к конкретной предметной области, позволяющих автономному беспилотному летальному аппарату, оснащенному манипулятором и системой технического зрения, решать сложные задачи в априори неописанных проблемных средах. Разработаны инструментальные средства разбиения сложных задач на подзадачи, обеспечивающие эффективный поиск их решения в пространстве состояний на основе типовых элементов представления знаний. Сформулированы основные методические положения, позволяющие синтезировать процедуры планирования целенаправленного поведения интегрального беспилотного летательного аппарата в сложных априори неописанных условиях функционирования. The main problems associated with the development of an intelligent problem solver of an automatic control system for the goal-seeking behavior of an integral unmanned aerial vehicle in a terrestrial problem environment are identified. The design of the typical elements of knowledge representation irrelative to the specific subject area is considered, allowing an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a manipulator and a vision system to solve complex problems in a priori undescribed problem environments. Tools are developed for partitioning complex tasks into sub-tasks, which provide an effective search for their solutions in the state space based on typical elements of knowledge representation. The main methodological provisions are formulated that allow synthesizing the planning procedures for the goal-seeking behavior of an integral unmanned aerial vehicle in a priori undescribed complex operating conditions.

В работе решается одна из актуальных проблем искусственного интеллекта связанная с разработкой модели представления и обработки знаний автономным интегральным беспилотным летательным аппаратом – роботом в процессе автоматического планирования целенаправленной деятельности в априори неописанных условиях проблемной среды. Предложенная модель базируется на применении различных сценариев в виде фрейм-микропрограмм поведения, фрейм-отношений и фрейм-действий, а также расплывчатых семантических сетей, обеспечивающих представление знаний безотносительно к конкретной предметной области. Это, в свою очередь, позволяет интегральному беспилотному летательному аппарату оснащенному манипулятором адаптироваться после посадки к априори неописанным условиям функционирования и решать на этой основе сложные задачи поведения. Использованы два способа шаблонного разбиения сложных задач поведения в пространстве состояний на более простые подзадачи, решение которых определяется на основе типовых элементов представления знаний и определения нечеткого вложенного изоморфизма и равенства одной расплывчатой семантической сети в другую. Разработаны процедуры планирования, которые позволяют интегральному беспилотному летательному аппарату эффективным образом выполнить преобразование текущей ситуации априори неописанной проблемной среды в ситуацию, определяемую заданной ему целью поведения, и на этой основе организовать целенаправленную деятельность в труднодоступных и агрессивных для человека средах. This work addresses one of the urgent problems of artificial intelligence related to the development of a model for the representation and processing of knowledge by an autonomous integrated unmanned aerial vehicle (robot) in the process of automatic planning of targeted activities in a priori undescribed conditions of a problem environment. The proposed model is based on the application of various scenarios in the form of frame-microprograms of behavior, frame-relations and frame-actions, as well as vague semantic networks that provide the representation of knowledge without reference to a specific subject area. This, in turn, allows an integrated unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a manipulator to adapt after landing to a priori unknown operating conditions and to solve complex behavior problems on this basis. Two methods of template partitioning of complex behavior problems in the state space into simpler subtasks are used, the solution of which is determined on the basis of typical elements of knowledge representation and definition of fuzzy embedded isomorphism and equality of one vague semantic network to another. Planning procedures have been developed that allow the integrated unmanned aerial vehicle to efficiently transform the current situation of an a priori undescribed problem environment into a situation determined by the goal of behavior, and on this basis to organize goal-seeking activities in hard-to-reach and aggressive environments for humans.

An analog fuel control for a gas turbine engine was compared with several state-space derived fuel controls. A single-spool, simple cycle gas turbine engine was modeled using ACSL (high level simulation language based on FORTRAN). The model included an analog fuel control representative of existing commercial fuel controls. The ACSL model was stripped of nonessential states to produce an eight-state linear state-space model of the engine. The A, B, and C matrices, derived from rated operating conditions, were used to obtain feedback control gains by the following methods: (1) state feedback; (2) LQR theory; (3) Bellman method; and (4) polygonal search. An off-load transient followed by an on-load transient was run for each of these fuel controls. The transient curves obtained were used to compare the state-space fuel controls with the analog fuel control. The state-space fuel controls did better than the analog control.

The autopilot on the aircraft is developed based on the mode of motion of the aircraft i.e. longitudinal and lateral-directional motion. In this paper, an autopilot is designed in lateral-directional mode for LSU-05 aircraft. The autopilot is designed at a range of aircraft operating speeds of 15 m/s, 20 m/s, 25 m/s, and 30 m/s at 1000 m altitude. Designed autopilots are Roll Attitude Hold, Heading Hold and Waypoint Following. Autopilot is designed based on linear model in the form of state-space. The controller used is a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. Simulation results show the value of overshoot / undershoot does not exceed 5% and settling time is less than 30 second if given step command. Abstrak Autopilot pada pesawat dikembangkan berdasarkan pada modus gerak pesawat yaitu modus gerak longitudinal dan lateral-directional.

Much of aerospace academia is anticipating a boom in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) funding and research opportunities. The expectation is built on the premise that UAVs will revolutionize aerospace, which is likely based on current trends. There is also an anticipation of an increasing number of new platforms and research investment, which is likely but must be analyzed carefully to determine where the opportunities might lie. This paper draws on the state of industry and a systems engineering approach. We explore what aspects of UAVs really are the results of aerospace science advances and what aspects will be rather more mundane works of engineering.

Observational errors of Particle Filtering are studied over the case of a state-space model with a linear observation equation. In this study, the observational errors are estimated prior to the upcoming observations. This action is added to the basic algorithm of the filter as a new step for the acquisition of the state estimations. This intervention is useful in the presence of missing data problems mainly, as well as sample tracking for impoverishment issues. It applies theory of Homogeneous and Non-Homogeneous closed Markov Systems to the study of particle distribution over the state domain and, thus, lays the foundations for the employment of stochastic control against impoverishment. A simulating example is quoted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in comparison with existing ones, showing that the proposed method is able to combine satisfactory precision of results with a low computational cost and provide an example to achieve impoverishment prediction and tracking.
