Robust PID Controller for Quad-rotors

Addy Wahyudie, Tri Bagus Susilo, Hassan Noura

Abstract


This study considers robust proportional integral derivative (PID) control for attitude stabilization of quad-rotors. The proposed method is designed for maintaining robustness against uncertainty of the system parameters and minimizing the control input for the quad-rotors. The closed-loop poles of the controlled system are placed within a region with specified decay rate and damping ratio for achieving specified transient response. The PID gains are tuned offline using theory. The robust control design problem is converted to optimization problem and solved using genetic algorithm. Finally, the proposed controller is simulated in the nominal and perturbations scenarios.

Keywords
