This paper discusses on attitude control of a quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in real time application. Newton-Euler equation is used to derive the model of system and the model characteristic is analyzed. The paper describes the controller design method for the hovering control of UAV automatic vertical take-off system. In order to take-off the quadcopter and stable the altitude, PID controller has been designed. The scope of study is to develop an altitude controller of the vertical take-off as realistic as possible. The quadcopter flight system has nonlinear characteristics. A simulation is conducted to test and analyze the control performance of the quadcopter model. The simulation was conducted by using Mat-lab Simulink. On the other hand, for the real time application, the PCI-1711 data acquisition card is used as an interface for controller design which routes from Simulink to hardware. This study showed the controller designs are implemented and tuned to the real system using Real Time Windows Target approach by Mat-Lab Simulink.

In this paper, a gain scheduled [Formula: see text] state-feedback controller has been designed to control the attitude of a linear parameter varying (LPV) model of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The scheduling parameters vector, which consists of some states and the control inputs, must vary in a specified polyhedron so that the affine LPV model would be analyzable; therefore, some pre-assumed constraints on states and input saturation have been taken into account in design process. The stabilization and disturbance attenuation conditions are obtained via elementary manipulations on the notion of [Formula: see text] control design. The resulting parameter dependent linear matrix inequalities are solved through a Robust LMI Parser (Rolmip) – which works jointly with YALMIP (A toolbox for modeling and optimization in MATLAB)– by transforming polynomial parameter dependent matrices into multi-simplex domain, to best deal with nonconvex problems. In the end, simulation results have been presented and compared with existing literature to examine the capability of such method in the presence and absence of wind disturbances.

This paper documents and presents the development of attitude control system of Hybrid Airship Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAU) that should be able to change its attitude condition based on the response processed from the provided input. This is accomplished by data acquisition method that retrieves data from a flight controller and processes it into the control system without looking in deep on the mathematical model of the airship. Besides that, PID controller is used in order to create a good stable response for the hybrid airship. A working hybrid airship prototype was successfully developed and built, which is five meters in length and has four propellers that is symmetrically distanced to each other. A quadcopter attitude control mechanism is adopted into the hybrid airship to allow for good hovering capability and direct pure attitude control. Outdoor flight tests have been conducted to prove its stability in responding to attitude input given to the hybrid airship attitude controller. A data monitoring software is also written to make the data observation on the behaviour of the hybrid airship response to be easier and understandable. Result demonstrates that the hybrid airship does response to pitch, roll and yaw input from the operator, albeit the lack response stability and speed which can be improved in conservative continuation of research on the airship attitude control system.
