Altitude and Attitude Control of a Quadcopter Based on Neuro-Fuzzy Controller

Abstract

In this paper, a 6-degrees of freedom (DoF) nonlinear dynamic model of the quadcopter is derived and a robust altitude and attitude control is proposed. The motion control is performed with four neuro-fuzzy controllers that ensure rapid and robust performances for nonlinear and uncertain systems. The aim of the designed control scheme is to provide to track the desired yaw, pitch, roll, and altitude trajectories simultaneously. The simulations are realized in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The obtained results show that the designed control scheme is robust and efficient in both altitude and attitude responses with different uncertain trajectories.
