Abstract

Attitude identification method for unmanned helicopter based on fuzzy model at hovering is presented. The dynamical attitude model is considered as basis for attitude control and it is very complex. To reduce the complexity of model, nonlinear model of unmanned helicopter with unknown parameters are to be determined by fuzzy system first and then derivative based gradient method is used to identify unknown parameters of model. Gradient method is used due to ability that fuzzy system is not necessarily to be linear in parameters, therefore all fuzzy sets for input and output can be adjusted. The validity of the proposed model was verified using experimental data obtained by the commercially available flight simulator X-Plane©. The simulation results showed high accuracy of the modeling method and attitude dynamics data matched well with experimental data.
