In this study, navigation and control algorithms for unmanned sea surface vehicles are investigated. For this purpose, firstly the mathematical model of a sea surface vehicle with two propellers providing stable maneuvering capabilities is constructed considering Newton-Euler equations. The next phase is to design a suitable navigation algorithm which integrates the solutions of “Inertial Navigation System (INS)” and external aids such as “Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)” and magnetometer. At this step, different loosely coupled integration algorithms are developed, and their performances are compared. After that, a model boat is assembled with necessary electrical equipment and driving system as a test platform for the navigation implementations. The results of the navigation algorithm obtained by processing real data collected from the model boat are presented. Meanwhile, the corrected navigation solution is also utilized within a parallel independent study aiming to identify the real parameters of the mathematical model of the boat. Finally, the design of various autopilot algorithms is studied taking the improved mathematical model into account. LQR and “Feedback Linearization” based controllers are realized for this job. The results of the controllers are provided and compared.

Control and guidance of an unmanned sea surface vehicle
Ahıska, Kenan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, control and guidance algorithms for unmanned sea surface vehicles are studied. To design control algorithms of different complexity, first a mathematical model for an unmanned sea surface vehicle is derived. The dynamical and kinematical equations for a sea surface vehicle are obtained, and they are adapted to real life conditions with necessary additions and simplifications. The forces and torques effecting on the vehicle are investigated in detail. Control algorithms for under-actuated six...
Navigation and system identification of an unmanned underwater survey vehicle
Kartal, Seda Karadeniz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
This study includes the mathematical model of an unmanned underwater vehicle, autopilot and the guidance design, the navigation solution and system identification of the unmanned underwater survey vehicle SAGA (Su Altı Gözlem Aracı). First, the 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear mathematical model of an unmanned underwater vehicle is obtained by a Newton-Euler formulation. Then, the autopilot is designed by utilizing the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control approach. The navigation problem is so...
Modeling and experimental identification of quadrotor aerodynamics
Kaya, D. Derya; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
The aim of this study is to obtain mathematical models for aerodynamic forces and moments of rotors of a quadrotor helicopter, and estimate their parameters through wind tunnel tests for hover, vertical climb, and forward flight conditions. The main factors which determine the movement of a quadrotor UAV are the aerodynamic forces and moments in three axes created by four rotors of the vehicle. Hence, accurate calculation of rotor forces and moments in varying flight conditions are essential to establish a ...
Landing autopilot design for an UAV
Hanköylü, Merve; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, a landing autopilot for an UAV (IAI Pioneer RQ-2) is designed based on a nonlinear MATLAB model implemented with MATLAB/Simulink. In order to control the movement of the UAV at lateral and longitudinal axes, a speed, an altitude, a heading angle (direction) and a yaw rate controllers are designed. Controller design procedure is started with determination of different trim points of the aircraft. Next, the corresponding initial states and initial inputs are obtained. The model is linearized a...
Vision-based Navigation and System Identification of Underwater Survey Vehicle
Kartal, Seda Karadeniz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Ege, Emre (2015-05-19)
In this study, a nonlinear mathematical model for an unmanned underwater survey vehicle is obtained. The inertial navigation system and vision-based measurement systems are modelled. The magnetic compass, depth sensor and pitot tube are used in order to support vehicle's attitude, velocity and depth information. The state errors are estimated with error state estimation algorithm from the noisy measurement data. The navigational data of the vehicle can be obtained accurately using the extended Kalman filter...
