UAS Flight Control Lab

What it is about

You develop and test control and navigation algorithms for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and implement these practically on a real quadrotor. In the end you will be able to create a simulation model, identify model parameters, and implement and test navigation and discrete control algorithms.

What you will be able to do

• Knowledge of the typical systems of a UAS
• Handling real sensor data and actuators
• Understanding of priority management in coupled, saturation-prone systems
• Implementation of a quadrotor simulation model
• Conducting identification algorithms for parameter determination
• Implementation of navigation and control algorithms in discrete time

What the module consists of

• LectureConveying theory and live demonstrations of software and hardware
• Practicum/Hands-onGuided practical tasks on quadrotor and software; elaboration as homework with report

Teaching method

• Presentation with slidesIntroduction to content and demonstration of software/hardware
• Live demonstrationIllustration of the construction and behavior of real systems
• Hands-on tasksPractical application of concepts; implementation of tasks at home with report
