Abstract

In transportation missions using quadrotor, the payload may change the model parameters, such as mass, moment of inertia, and center of gravity. Moreover, if position of the payload is constantly changing during flight, the effect can adversely affect the control performances. To handle this issue, we suggest Model Reference Adaptive Control based on Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR+MRAC) to compensate the uncertainty caused by payload. Firstly, the mathematical modeling with the fixed payload is derived. Second, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is used to design the reference model and baseline controller. Also, through the Stability method, Adaptive law is derived to estimate the model parameters. To verify the performance of proposed control scheme, we compared LQR and LQR+MRAC in situations where uncertainties exist. And, when the disturbance exist, the classic MRAC and proposed controller is compared to analyze the transient response and robustness.

쿼드로터를 활용한 운송 임무에서 임의의 유상하중을 장착하게 되면 질량, 관성모멘트, 무게중심의 위치와 같은 모델 파라미터가 변화하게 된다. 더욱이 유상하중이 기체에 장착되는 위치가 기체의 무게중심과 일치하지 않는 경우 무게중심의 변화는 야기되며 이는 제어 성능에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 유상하중에 따른 모델의 불확실성을 보상하기 위하여, 선형 제차 조정기(Linear Quadratic Regulator, LQR) 기반의 모델 참조 적응 제어기법(Model Reference Adaptive Control, MRAC)을 제안한다. 먼저 고정된 유상하중을 고려한 쿼드로터의 동역학 모델을 유도하고, 선형 제차 조정기를 이용하여 기준제어기를 선정한다. 참조 모델은 과도응답을 향상하기 위해 폐루프 참조 모델을 사용하였으며, 선형 제차 조정기를 통하여 선정하였다. 또한, 안정성 분석을 통하여 모델 파라미터를 추정하기 위한 적응 제어기법을 설계하였다. 제안하는 제어기의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 모델 파라미터의 불확실성이 존재하는 상황에서 선형 재차 조정기와 성능을 비교하였다. 그리고 외란이 있는 상황에서 기존의 모델 참조 적응 제어기법과도 제안한 제어기의 결과를 비교하여 과도응답과 강건성에 대해서도 분석하였다.
