Robust Control Algorithm for Drones

Drones, also known as Crewless Aircrafts (CAs), are by far the most multi - level and multi developing technologies of the modern period. This technology has recently found various uses in the transportation area, spanning from traffic monitoring applicability to traffic engineering for overall traffic flow and efficiency improvements. Because of its non-linear characteristics and under-actuated design, the CA seems to be an excellent platform to control systems study. Following a brief overview of the system, the various evolutionary and robust control algorithms were examined, along with their benefits and drawbacks. In this chapter, a mathematical and theoretical model of a CA’s dynamics is derived, using Euler’s and Newton’s laws. The result is a linearized version of the model, from which a linear controller, the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), is generated. Furthermore, the performance of these nonlinear control techniques is compared to that of the LQR. Feedback-linearization controller when implemented in the simulation for the chapter, the results for the same was better than any other algorithm when compared with. The suggested regulatory paradigm of the CA-based monitoring system and analysis study will be the subject of future research, with a particular emphasis on practical applications

Unmanned Aerial System Trajectory Tracking Based on Diversified Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm

Trajectory tracking is one of the most important aspects of an unmanned aerial system (or quad-copter) for selecting the optimal path from the source to the destination. This article presents a mathematical framework and approach for addressing the challenge of nonlinear systems like quad-copter. A novel control system for the quad-copter’s positions $\left ({{z,y,x} }\right)$ and attitudes (roll ( $\phi$ ), yaw ( $\psi$ ), pitch ( $\theta$ )) has been proposed based on optimisation techniques that are integrated with proportional-integral (PI) controllers. Astute position update methods such as helical, circular, etc. have been introduced using different algorithms like particle swarm optimization (PSO), grey Wolf optimization (GWO), and the diversified grey wolf optimizer (DGWOA) algorithm. Following that, in an iterative procedure, a variety of leadership levels are used to update the individual’s position, and the leadership is modified through the use of an adaptive mechanism. For validation, the proposed algorithm’s effectiveness is evaluated based on the convergence rate compared to that of other meta-heuristic algorithms. Owing to its inadequate exploration, PSO leads to challenges with parameter selection, whereas GWO is easy to get to the local optimum. The concept and execution of DGWOA have been implemented to update the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) controlled parameters in order to overcome these limitations. The proposed algorithm’s performance for path planning in a complex and cluttered environment is investigated. The simulation shows that the DGWOA algorithm has a faster response as compared to the reference and $\left ({{z,y,x}}\right)$ has been improved with (92.87, 96.95, and 99.69) percentage along with eliminating the shortcomings of PSO & GWO
