Abstract

In this paper, one kind of quad-rotor UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) controller is designed according to analyze its structure and function. The hardware platform is established based on DSP MC56F8037, inertial sensor unit, as well as facilities that make it suitable for the dynamic system. According to the analysis of the working principle of the quad-rotor, the nonlinear dynamic model is established. This is a hierarchical embedded model based control scheme that is built upon the concept of backstepping, the simulation result shows the controllers are valid. This realization makes a great progress in the development process of a more advanced realization of an UAV suitable for practical applications.
