Abstract:Multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicles have unsteady coupling characteristics during flight, which makes them susceptible to external disturbances and inertial uncertainties during mission execution, making it difficult to maintain good flight balance. Therefore, an adaptive non singular terminal sliding mode cascade control method for multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicles with unsteady coupling correlation is proposed. This method first considers the non-stationary coupling relationship between the disturbance wind field, drone load, etc., and detects the initial values of drone operating parameters. Then, based on the flight principle and mission of the drone, plan the target flight trajectory of the drone and solve the non singular terminal sliding mode cascade control objective. Finally, using the constructed non singular terminal sliding mode surface as the outer loop control and PID as the inner loop control, a multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicle cascade control structure is designed. Based on the deviation between the initial flight value and the control target as the control variable, an adaptive non singular terminal sliding mode cascade control law is generated, and the adaptive non singular terminal sliding mode cascade control task of the multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is achieved through the execution of the control law. The conclusion drawn from performance testing is that under the optimization design control method, the speed control error, vibration degree, and minimum singular value are smaller, and the fluctuation index of control error of multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicles is lower under different wind fields and load conditions. The optimization design method has significant advantages in terms of control performance and adaptability.
