Abstract

Quadrotor is an unmanned aerial robot from multi-rotor drones group that has high maneuverability, vertical take-off, and landing and stationary flight capabilities. In the most practical applications, the quadrotor system is subjected to external disturbance forces due to wind and unbalanced weight or inertia of the payload. To maintain balance and hold the position, attitude stabilization of the quadrotor is necessary for the presence of disturbances and unbalanced forces. Using conventional controllers with constant gains is not very efficient to eliminate variable disturbances that affect quadrotor motion in different conditions. In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy proportional integral derivative controller is designed for quadrotor attitude stabilization in which controller gains are regulated continuously based on the adaptive laws and the fuzzy inference system. The performance of the proposed controller is examined in the disturbance rejection test and is compared to the conventional proportional integral derivative controller. Also, the performance of the proposed controller is approved by hardware in the loop experimental tests using a 3 degree of freedom pilot platform. The experimental results will show the effectiveness of the adaptive fuzzy proportional integral derivative controller compared with the conventional proportional integral derivative controller.
