Provides a simple control solution for the challenging transition phase of tail-sitter drones, but results are simulation-only and incremental.
The paper develops a Lyapunov-based controller for the transition maneuver of a tail-sitter drone, validated through simulations showing effective attitude and position control.
This paper presents a controller for the transition maneuver of a tail-sitter drone. The tail-sitter model considers aerodynamic terms whereas the proposed controller considers the time-scale separation between drone attitude and position dynamics. The controller design is based on Lyapunov approach and linear saturation functions. Simulations experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the derived theoretical results.
