Trajectory tracking of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via attitude and position control
Suiçmez, Emre Can; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, trajectory tracking of a quadrotor UAV is obtained by controlling attitude and position of the quadrotor simultaneously. Two independent control methods are used to track desired trajectories accurately. One of these methods is a nonlinear control approach called as "backstepping control". The other method is a more unique optimal control approach called as "Linear Quadratic Tracking(LQT)". In addition, fixed-gain LQR controller which is widely used in literature is also used for comparison ...
Aerodynamic optimization of missile external configurations
Arslan, Kıvanç; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, design optimization methods capable of optimizing aerodynamic performances of missiles and rockets are developed. Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) and Random Search (RS) methods are used for optimization, whereas Missile DATCOM, which is a semi-empirical aerodynamic analysis tool, is used to calculate aerodynamic coefficients of missile configurations. As the first part of the work, capabilities and limitations of SQP and RS optimization methods are investigated on a complex test funct...
Trajectory planning and tracking for autonomous vehicles
Çiçek, Haluk Levent; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-12-27)
Finding appropriate paths is an essential issue for the development of autonomous vehicles and robots. Hereby, it has to be considered that autonomous vehicles cannot follow sharp corners, as they cannot turn on a single point. Therefore, it is important to compute smooth paths that have additional desirable properties such as minimum length and sufficient distance from obstacles. Furthermore, practical applications require the computation of such paths in real time. This thesis develops a general method...
Attitude control of multiple rigid body spacecraft with flexible hinge joints
Akbulut, Burak; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
Control algorithm is developed for a satellite with flexible appendages to achieve a good pointing performance. Detailed modeling activity was carried out that consists of sensor and actuator models, disturbances and system dynamics. Common hardware found in the spacecraft such as reaction wheels, gyroscopes, star trackers etc. were included in the model. Furthermore, the Newton-Euler method is employed for the derivation of multi-body equations of motion. Evaluation of the pointing accuracy with proper poi...
