Design and implementation of nonlinear PID controller for a quadrotor control

Abstract

The following article represents the control of an unmanned airborne vehicle (Quadcopter), using nonlinear PID controllers in order to control the altitude, as well as the attitudes (pitch, roll and yaw) of the Quadcopter. Two approaches have been proposed for adjusting the parameters of a PID controller. Foremost, the PID controller gains are settled in an ideal way by using a reference model strategy. In the moment approach, these parameters are adjusted Nonlinear PID. MATLAB/Simulink has been utilized to test and compare the execution of the controllers gotten. The obtained results using the nonlinear PID controllers show the efficiency of the proposed controllers it presents a response with less error and minimal over shoot compared to the results of classical PID controller.
