UAS Lab

What it is about

You work practically on central challenges for the flight of drones. Based on a simple quadcopter, you gradually build a simulation environment in MATLAB/Simulink, model the flight behavior, design controls, perform system identification, and plan trajectories and paths.

What you will be able to do

• Model quadcopter
• Linearize nonlinear model for a trim state
• Design attitude and position controllers
• Understand fundamentals of system identification
• Implement trajectory generation algorithm
• Define a simple trajectory tracking controller
• Perform path planning around obstacles

What the module consists of

• Praktikumpractical implementation of modeling, control, system identification and path planning in small groups
• Vortragintroduction to the contents and tasks before each session
• Selbststudiumpreparation of the sessions based on distributed materials
• Testateshort knowledge checks for each topic block

Teaching method

• Selbstständige Vorbereitungto work out the basics before each session
• Vortragto convey the contents and to explain the task
• Praktisches Arbeiten in Kleingruppento practically implement tasks in MATLAB/Simulink
• Testatefor short-term assessment of understanding before the practical session
