Fuzzy control of quadrotor Ar. Drone 2.0 in a controlled environment

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the design and implementation of the height control system for the quadrotor AR. Drone 2.0 making use of a fuzzy logic in a previously established environment. This device has a height control system both in simulation and in the real platform. Three controllers are developed by fuzzy logic whose parameters are obtained from the drone's sensors in such a way that it allows to control height and angles of orientation (Pitch, Roll and Yaw) as long as certain levels of battery charge are considered so that the system does not become unstable. For the visualization and interaction with the drone a Matlab® interface is designed and implemented, that allows communication between the user and all system functions in such a way that the mode of execution can be chosen, follow the reference parameters autonomously, store data for a later analysis, and visualize the displacements to observe the efficiency of system.
