Abstract

To design the flight control system (FCS) of small-scale unmanned helicopter is still a difficult challenge today. The hardware and software architecture of FCS was designed in this paper. And one novel control approach based on Multivariable PID Neural Network (MPIDNN) was firstly used to design the FCS of small-scale unmanned helicopter on the hardware platform. MPIDNN is suitable for controlling the multi-input multi-output (MIMO), nonlinear, highly coupled, uncertain and dynamic system such as helicopter. Both the training and study algorithm based on target function and MPIDNN forwards algorithm were designed in this control system. The result of simulation indicates that the training algorithm can solve the offline training and study problem of small-scale unmanned helicopter. The forwards algorithm can control the flight of helicopter well and its maximum magnitude of error is about 1%. Simulation shows that the performance of our control approach is perfect.
