Abstract:

 

This article presents a new design of Fractional Order PIλDμ (FOPID) for the altitude and attitude control of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using Black-Nichols method. First, we use single-input-single-output (SISO) approach to design PIλDμ controllers for each attitude component-loop and the altitude using Black-Nichols method. After that, we employ the same controllers in the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) model of quadrotor to test their performance. Fractional Order Modelling and Control (FOMCON) toolbox used with Simulink model of quadrotor to prove and validate the performance of our controllers.
