In this paper, an autopilot system for the quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is developed by utilizing a digital signal processor (DSP) as the on-board micro-control unit (MCU). The hardware setup and the software are also developed for the autonomous flight control of the UAV. The main design procedure includes the controller board design, brushless DC motor driver design, sensor data processing software design, and flight control algorithm design. The control algorithm is developed based on the inner loop and outer loop control method. Proportional Derivative (PD) controllers are proposed for the attitude dynamics (inner loop) and position dynamics (outer loop) respectively. Autonomous hovering control is achieved via the control of roll angle, pitch angle, yaw angle and altitude of the UAV. Experiments results are included to demonstrate the hovering control performance.

To provide a safe and efficient test for the autonomous control design of the unmanned helicopter, a 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) helicopter testbed is developed in this paper. The testbed uses a small electric hobby helicopter as the main body, a digital signal processsor (DSP) is employed as the on-board micro control unit (MCU) for the attitude control of the helicopter, a micro attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is utilized as the main on-board sensor for attitude states feedback and a Bluetooth module is mounted on the testbed to provide realtime wireless communication between the helicopter and the ground control station (GCS). This paper investigates the servo actuators coordinated control method with separate channel of the new-style electric helicopter, which is named as electronic collective-cyclic pitch mixing (ECCPM). A modified digital incremental PID control algorithm which is free of servo actuators saturation issue is proposed for the attitude control of the helicopter. Finally, experiment results are provided to verify the testbed and control design.

The class of isotherm lumped process systems with constant overall mass in each of its balance volumes is considered in this paper. It is shown that the convection and transfer mechanisms can be described by a mass action law chemical reaction network (MAL CRN) with only linear kinetics where the in- and outflow terms are represented using the zero complex. This gives rise to a convection and transfer reaction sub-graph that connects atomic complexes consisting of the components in the balance volumes of the system. The real chemical reactions in each of the balance volumes can be described by their own CRNs, where the chemical reaction sub-graphs may be disconnected from the convection and transfer reaction sub-graph when nonlinear reactions occur. In the case of chemical reactions with a finite number of steady state points, the underlying linear dynamical system enables us to construct a dynamically similar linear overall reaction graph for the whole process system. The resulting overall reaction graph can be used for structural stability analysis by applying its graph theoretical properties.

The model of NCS (Networked control Systems) with output feedback controller is presented for the case when the network- induced random time-varying delays are bounded and the upper bound of which is longer than one sampling period. Thus we established a discrete-time jump system model with Markov delay. Based on this, this paper gives the optimization method to design stabilizing controllers. This paper generalizes previous results on delay-less output feedback control systems and state feedback systems with Markov time delay. Theoretical analysis and simulation on a two input two output system with Markov time delay show that the output feedback controller we proposed can make the system stable.

This paper addresses the issues of the input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral input-to-state stability (iISS) for a class of switched nonlinear systems. Based on a piecewise Lyapunov function method, some sufficient conditions are explicitly given to guarantee the ISS and iISS of the switched nonlinear system under a certain class of switching signals, respectively. Moreover, the Lyapunov function considered in this paper decays in a more general form, which is presented as the negative definite function of the state instead of just some negative multiple of the Lyapunov function. This gives a more general sufficient conditions of input-to-state stability for switched nonlinear systems.

A ground control system (GCS) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is developed in this paper. Different tasks, which include real time communication between GCS and UAVs, data processing and storing, localization, path planning and so on, can be accomplished in the proposed GCS. To address the issue of path planning problem for UAVs, a new path planning algorithm based on potential function is proposed to drive the UAV to its destination in this paper. Time-varying gain adjusting method is used to enable the UAV obstacle avoidance ability under the constraints for the translation velocity. Lyapunov based analysis is used to prove the stability of the proposed algorithm. Numerical simulation results are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed path planning design.
