Integral LQR Control of a Star-Shaped Octorotor
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper starts by presenting the model of the star-shaped octorotor. LQR control is chosen to stabilize the attitude and altitude of the vehicle. Waypoint navigation is also implemented. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the control strategy under nominal conditions. However, in practice mass related uncertainties can occur. In this case the results are unsatisfactory. Thus the improvement of the applied LQR control strategy is proposed. It is shown that after adding integral action to the altitude controller the issue is solved.

Modeling Fluid dynamics and Aerodynamics by Second Law and Bejan Number (Part 1 - Theory)
Two fundamental questions are still open about the complex relation between fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. Is it possible (and convenient) to describe fluid dynamic in terms of second law based thermodynamic equation...
The impact of aerodynamics on fuel consumption in railway applications
The main consequence of on air flow surrounding a moving train resides in the aerodynamic drag and a certain pressure distribution on the frontal and lateral surfaces of the vehicle. The actual value of the aerodynamic d...
