Abstract

The goal of this paper is to design the target tracking controller for a quadrotor micro UAV using a vision sensor. First of all, the mathematical model of the quadrotor was estimated through the Prediction Error Method(PEM) using experimental input/output flight data, and then the estimated model was validated via the comparison with new experimental flight data. Next, the target tracking controller was designed using LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) method based on the estimated model. The relative distance between an object and the quadrotor was obtained by a vision sensor, and the altitude was obtained by a ultra sonic sensor. Finally, the performance of the designed target tracking controller was evaluated through flight tests.

본 논문은 쿼드로터형 무인 비행체를 비전센서를 이용한 목표 추적 위치 제어기 설계하였고, 이를 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해서 확인하였다. 우선 제어기 설계에 앞서 쿼드로터의 동역학 분석 및 실험데이터를 통한 모델링을 수행하였다. 이때, 모델의 계수들은 실제 비행 데이터를 이용한 PEM(Prediction Error Method)을 이용하여 얻었다. 이 추정된 모델을 바탕으로 LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) 기법을 이용한 임의의 목표를 따라가는 위치 제어기를 설계하였으며, 이때 위치 정보는 비전센서의 색 정보를 이용한 Color Tracking기능을 이용하여 쿼드로터와 물체의 상대적인 위치를 얻어내었고, 초음파 센서를 이용하여 고도 정보를 얻어 내었다. 마지막으로 실제 움직이는 물체의 추적 제어 실험을 수행하여 LQR 제어기 성능을 평가하였다.
