Effectiveness of Fast Speed Yaw and Roll Control Switching Instead of Normal Roll Control for AR Drone 4 rotor Helicopter

Abstract

In this paper, the effectiveness of new position control strategy - fast speed yaw and roll control switching method instead of the roll control only in Parrot AR Drone 4 rotor helicopter in horizontal plane for automatic fixed position flight was confirmed. General 4 rotor basic flight controller considers only simple floating control and does not concern the position control in the space, the AR Drone was also developed as realizing the floating control only and it is necessary to control the position by the user. Instead of a simple roll control, fast speed switching yaw and roll controls (plus pitch control) could realize stable automatic fixed position control comparing with the simple roll plus pitch controls in the horizontal plane. Proposed method reduced the AR Drone automatic fixed control within S.D. of x and y axis to 31.6% and 54.8% comparing with the normal roll plus pitch controls S.D. of x and y in 3.5 x 5 x 2.4 m room, and it will useful for hobby-class 4 rotor system's the aircraft position control in such a small room condition.
