This paper presents a sensor fusion algorithm for the RC helicopter which uses a complementary filter. To measure the attitude angle of the helicopter, 3rate gyroscopes and a 3-axis accelerometer are mounted on the helicopter. The signals from them are passed though a complementary filter to produce estimation outputs. Experiments show that designed system is effective for the attitude estimation.

For spacecraft attitude control, reaction wheel (RW) steering laws with more than three wheels for three-axis attitude control can be derived by using a control allocation (CA) approach.1-2 The CA technique deals with a problem of distributing a given control demand to available sets of actuators.3-4 There are many references for CA with applications to aerospace systems. For spacecraft, the control torque command for three body-fixed reference frames can be constructed by a combination of multiple wheels, usually four-wheel pyramid sets. Multi-wheel configurations can be exploited to satisfy a body-axis control torque requirement while satisfying objectives such as minimum control energy.1-2 In general, the reaction wheel steering laws determine required torque command for each wheel in the form of matrix pseudo-inverse. In general, the attitude control command is generated in the form of a feedback control. The spacecraft body angular rate measured by gyros is used to estimate angular displacement also.⁵ Combination of the body angular rate and attitude parameters such as quaternion and MRPs(Modified Rodrigues Parameters) is typically used in synthesizing the control command which should be produced by RWs.¹ The attitude sensor signals are usually corrupted by noise; gyros tend to contain errors such as drift and random noise. The attitude determination system can estimate such errors, and provide best true signals for feedback control.⁶ Even if the attitude determination system, for instance, sophisticated algorithm such as the EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) algorithm⁶, can eliminate the errors efficiently, it is quite probable that the control command still contains noise sources. The noise and/or other high frequency components in the control command would cause the wheel speed to change in an undesirable manner. The closed-loop system, governed by the feedback control law, is also directly affected by the noise due to imperfect sensor characteristics. The noise components in the sensor signal should be mitigated so that the control command is isolated from the noise effect. This can be done by adding a filter to the sensor output or preventing rapid change in the control command. Dynamic control allocation(DCA), recently studied by Härkegård, is to distribute the control command in the sense of dynamics⁴: the allocation is made over a certain time interval, not a fixed time instant. The dynamic behavior of the control command is taken into account in the course of distributing the control command. Not only the control command requirement, but also variation of the control command over a sampling interval is included in the performance criterion to be optimized. The result is a control command in the form of a finite difference equation over the given time interval.⁴ It results in a filter dynamics by taking the previous control command into account for the synthesis of current control command. Stability of the proposed dynamic control allocation (CA) approach was proved to ensure the control command is bounded at the steady-state. In this study, we extended the results presented in Ref. 4 by adding a two-step dynamic CA term in deriving the control allocation law. Also, the strict equality constraint, between the virtual and actual control inputs, is relaxed in order to construct control command with a smooth profile. The proposed DCA technique is applied to a spacecraft attitude control problem. The sensor noise and/or irregular signals, which are existent in most of spacecraft attitude sensors, can be handled effectively by the proposed approach.

고정밀 태양센서는 인공위성의 자세제어에 중요 센서로서, 위성으로 입사되는 태양 빛의 방향을 측정하거나 위성이 태양을 보지 못하는 상태에 있는지를 판단하기 위해서 사용되고 있다. 또한 정지궤도 위성에서는 전이궤도 및 임무궤도 상에서 기준 자세로 부터 벗어난 자세오차 정보를 획득하기 위해서 또는 이상 발생 시 태양벡터를 획득하기 위해서 고정밀 태양센서를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성과 정지궤도 위성용 고정밀 태양센서의 형상에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 태양의 입사각에 대한 출력 전류 관계를 나타내는 전달 함수를 이용하여 고정밀 태양센서 운용 원리를 설명한다.

본 논문은 4개의 BLDC 모터를 이용한 쿼드콥터 무인비행체의 센서 신호 성능 개선을 위해 진동에 강인한 센서융합 방식을 제안하고 이를 기반으로 하여 자세제어를 위한 개선된 PID 제어 기법을 제안한다. 쿼드콥터의 자세추정을 위해 사용하는 가속도 센서와 자이로 센서 각각의 특성에서 나타나는 단점을 상호 보완하고 모터에서 발생하는 진동의 영향을 최소화하도록 상보필터를 적용하여 두 센서를 융합하는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 센서 융합 방식은 쿼드콥터의 방진을 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 이동평균 필터나 저역통과 필터에 비해 진동에 더욱 강인하고 지연이 적은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 쿼드콥터의 자세 제어를 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 PID 제어 중 D 제어 성분을 추정된 각도의 변화량을 이용하는 대신 자이로 센서를 사용하는 쿼드콥터의 특성에 맞게 자이로 센서 출력을 사용하는 방식을 제안하여 사용함으로써 자세 제어 오차를 줄일 수 있고 자세 제어의 안정화가 보다 용이하게 이루어질 수 있음을 확인하였다.

인공위성의 자세제어를 수행하기 위해 다양한 하드웨어들이 탑재된다. 그중에서 가장 초기에 위성의 안정된 자세를 확보하며 이상동작시 안전한 자세를 확보하기 위해 사용되는 중요한 하드웨어가 바로 태양센서이다. 따라서, 위성의 개발 초기에 해당 센서의 시야각 확보를 위한 장착과 이를 이용한 자세제어 설계가 매우 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 정지궤도복합위성은 별추적기 탑재로 인해 천리안위성 대비 태양센서의 전체 수량을 축소할 수 있었다. 그리고 천리안위성의 우주이력을 이용한 여분의 하드웨어를 추가로 고려하였다. 본 논문에서는 추가된 태양센서를 통해 시야각을 확장하고 P/R-side 결선도 고려하여 안정도를 높이는 방법에 대해 분석하고 그 결과를 정리하였다.

In this paper, we implemented a flight posture simulator that intuitively understands aircraft flight posture and visualizes the principle of motion. The proposed system operates the 6 - axis motion platform according to the change of the navigation information and transmits the flight attitude to the simulator using the gyro sensor. A gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor are used together to analyze the attitude of the aircraft. The reason is that the gyro sensor has a cumulative error in the integration process. And the accelerometer sensor was compensated by using the complementary filter because noise was serious due to short term vibration. Using the compensated sensor information, the motion platform is operated by calculating the angle to be transmitted to the 6-axis motor. And visualization result is implemented using OpenGL. The results of this study can be used as teaching materials for students related to aviation in the future.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate ground-based experiment for the attitude control of spacecraft. A two-axis rotational simulator with a flexible ann is constructed with on-off air thrusters as actuators. The simulator is also equipped with payload pointing capability by simultaneous thruster and DC servo motor actuation. The azimuth angle is controlled by on-off thruster command while the payload elevation angle is controlled by a servo-motor. A thruster modulation technique PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) employing a time-optimal switching function plus integral error control is proposed. An optical camera is used for the purpose of pointing as well as on-board rate sensor calibration. Attitude control performance based upon the new closed-loop control law is demonstrated by ground experiment. The modified switching function turns out to be effective with improved pointing performance under external disturbance. The rate sensor calibration technique by Kalman Filter algorithm led to reduction of attitude error caused by the bias in the rate sensor output.

본 논문에서는 저가, 저전력 및 소형의 IMU를 구성하기 위한 MEMS 관성 센서를 이용하여 자세 정보를 제공받는 ARHES에 위의 센서를 사용하기 위해 자이로 센서 및 가속도센서의 데이터 출력 특성을 검증하여 오차 및 정확도를 분석하였다. 센서 실험을 위하여 진자 실험 장치를 제작하였고, 진자 운동에 대한 센서 데이터를 수집하였다. 이론적인 수식을 유추하여 센서 데이터의 정확성 분석을 위한 기준 값으로 설정하였다. 센서값과 이론값을 비교하면 각속도에서 4.32~5.72%, 가속도에서 x-, z-축 방향에 대하여 각각 3.53~6.74% 및 3.91~4.16%의 오차율을 나타냈다. 진자실험 장치를 이용한 센서 검증에서 무인헬리콥터에 사용될 센서로서 적합한 것으로 평가되었으며 이는 짐벌장치 등을 이용한 자세추정 알고리즘을 구성하는데 기초가 되었다. 또한, 더욱 정밀한 실험을 위해서는 온도 등 주변 환경 요인에 대한 보정이 요구된다.

We introduce the error models for an attitude determination system(ADS) with gyroscopes and stellar sensor. The ADS error models are derived according to the definition of the reference frame and of the attitude error. The equivalent error models applicable to the attitude determination system with large attitude errors are presented. The simulation results show that the proposed error models improve performance of the attitude determination system.

Quadrotor is an aircraft which is possible in Vertical Take-off and Landing(VTOL). This aircraft can not only be created as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV), but also can be easily used in various fields because of its simplicity of construction. This study is mainly conducted with two main purposes. The first goal is designing the quadrotor focusing on the lightweight and protecting the airframe. The second purpose is stabilizing the quadrotor's attitude by using the PID controller. MATLAB simulation is performed for obtaining PID gain based on equations of motion. We used the compensation filter technique for the calibration of sensor data. PID gain has been drawn out based on the MATLAB simulation. The efficiency of the attitude control is improved by calibration of sensor data.
