Email this article Techniques for Quadcopter modeling and Design: A Review
Abstract
Quadcopters modelling research has cease or almost at a halt, compared to its controller counterpart, which has received all the attention and continue to receives more research attention. While controller design seems to be viewed as a way of addressing the inherent problems peculiar to quadcopters by ways of controlling it, it no surprising to see that a lot of previous research failed to address this inherent practical problem. This paper reviews the most effective techniques widely used by researchers for modelling & designing quadcopters only and not it controller. Rotor modelling in conjunction with aerodynamic effect, parametric identifications were reviewed and analysed.
As a demonstration, a quadcopter modelled was developed via voltage manipulation approach for this review, likewise PID controller. Taylor-series first-order approximation was used to linearize the developed non-linear model so that linear PID controller can be used to test the model.
This model the author envisage to discuss with Mathwork Inc. for its incorporated as into the Matlab software as a quadcopter Simulink-block; for which different controllers can be directly interfaced to (with little as required design modification to the helicopter block model or no modification at all). This, the author believes will aid further study of the inherent research problems associated with quadcopter.
