This paper includes attitude controller design ideas for a quadrotor platform which can be regarded as an exceptionally agile flying robot with highly non-linear and unstable features in flight dynamics. The quadrotor poses severe problems in characterizing the dynamics especially when performing high-speed manoeuvres. These facts cause the quadrotor not to lose its popularity as a compelling tool among avid researchers who endeavour to realize various controller ideas. The procedure in this paper is initiated with the construction of the system model and the verification of this phase relying on the characteristics of the test bed. With the aid of sensors on the off-the-shelf platform, the controllers are designed to enact tracking of the reference commands that contain the desired trajectories and attitudes. The controller methods highlighted in this research are non-linear dynamic inversion, model reference adaptive control and integral back-stepping technique. The trade-off between performance and robustness is investigated as well. The responses of the system to the impacts of the existence of uncertain parameters, unmatched uncertainties or disturbances are exceptional means to judge how robust the controller is. An overview of the cases with parametric uncertainty and the existence of noise, therefore, find its place as a section within this work. This sketch grades the controller options while putting forward the advantage of adaptation. Besides, by employing correction approaches, the advancement of the adaptive controller in terms of robustness is examined where dead zone implementation, parameter bounding, e-, and σ-modifications are exploited. The motivation behind this research is to produce persistent state controllers to lay the first stone for more complex algorithm structures such as autonomous flight phases, obstacle avoidance and way-point targeting. The future work of this study is the justification of the reliability of the methodologies used and the results attained from the simulations through experiments.

Adaptive neural network applications on missile controller design Sağıroğlu, Serkan; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) In this thesis, adaptive neural network controllers are designed for a high subsonic cruise missile. Two autopilot designs are included in the study using adaptive neural networks, namely an altitude hold autopilot designed for the longitudinal channel and a directional autopilot designed for heading control. Aerodynamic coefficients are obtained using missile geometry; a 5-Degree of Freedom (5-DOF) simulation model is obtained, and linearized at a single trim condition. An inverted model is used in the con...
Fuzzy actor-critic learning based intelligent controller for high-level motion control of serpentine robots Arı, Evrim Onur; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, an intelligent controller architecture for gait selection of a serpentine robot intended to be used in search and rescue tasks is designed, developed and simulated. The architecture is independent of the configuration of the robot and the robot is allowed to make different kind of movements, similar to grasping. Moreover, it is applicable to parallel processing in several aspects and it is an implementation of a controller network on robot segment network. In the architecture several behavio...
Adaptive controller applications for rotary wing aircraft models of varying simulation fidelity Tarımcı, Onur; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) This thesis concerns the design, analysis and testing of adaptive controllers for rotary wing aircraft, in particular helicopters. A non-linear helicopter model is developed and validated by trim and dynamic response analyses. A inner-outer loop cascade controller is designed with a trajectory generator in the most outer layer and an adaptive neural network controller is implemented to the inner loop. Controller is then challenged to carry out complex maneuvers autonomously under turbulence. Finally, the ce...
Robust controller design for a fixed wing uav Prach, Anna; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) This study describes the design and implementation of the pitch and roll autopilots for a fixed wing unmanned vehicle. A Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV), which is designed at the Middle East Technical University (METU), is used as a platform. This work combines development of the classical and robust controllers, which are used for the pitch and roll autopilots. One of the important steps in the thesis is development of the non-linear dynamic model of the UAV, which is developed in MATLAB/Simulink e...
