Embedded Control system for a four‐rotor UAV
International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, 2007Co-Authors: S. Salazar-cruz, Juan Escareno, David Lara, Rogelio LozanoAbstract:This paper describes the design of an Embedded Control system for a four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to perform hover flights. A dynamic model of the vehicle is presented using an Euler–Lagrange approach. A Control strategy based on nested saturation is proposed. An Embedded Control system architecture is described for autonomous hover flight. The main components of the system are a microController, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a global positioning system (GPS) and infrared sensors. The Euler angles are computed using a data fusion algorithm. The experimental results show that the on-board Control system performs satisfactorily for autonomous hovering indoors.

Embedded Control of a four-rotor UAV
2006 American Control Conference, 2006Co-Authors: Juan Escareno, S. Salazar-cruz, Rogelio LozanoAbstract:This paper presents the design of an Embedded-Control architecture for a four-rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV) to perform autonomous hover flight. A non-linear Control law based on nested saturations technique is presented that stabilizes the state of the aircraft around the origin. The Control law was implemented in a microController to stabilize the aircraft in real time. In order to obtain experimental results we have built a low-cost on-board system which drives the aircraft in position and orientation. The nonlinear Controller has been successfully tested experimentally

Mechatronic systems-Innovative products with Embedded Control
Control Engineering Practice, 2008Co-Authors: Rolf IsermannAbstract:Many technical processes and products in the area of mechanical and electrical engineering are showing an increasing integration of mechanics with digital electronics and information processing. This integration is between the components (hardware) and the information-driven functions (software), resulting in integrated systems called mechatronic systems. Their development involves finding an optimal balance between the basic mechanical structure, sensor and actuator implementation, automatic information processing and overall Control. Simultaneous design of mechanics and electronics, hardware and software and Embedded Control functions resulting in an integrated component or system are all of major importance. This technical progress has a very large influence on a multitude of products in the area of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering and changes the design, for example, of conventional electromechanical components, machines, vehicles and precision mechanical devices with increasing intensity. This contribution summarizes ongoing developments for mechatronic systems, shows design approaches and examples of mechatronic products and considers various Embedded Control functions and system's integrity. One field of ongoing developments, automotive mechatronics, where especially large influences can be seen, is described in more detail by discussing mechatronic suspensions, mechatronic brakes, active steering and roll stabilization systems. © 2007.

Embedded Control systems development environment realized in simulink
2007 European Control Conference (ECC), 2007Co-Authors: Alessandro Casavola, Ferdinando De Cristofaro, Iolanda Montalto, Domenico TavellaAbstract:The development of Embedded Control systems is still a relatively new and young discipline. There is consequently a lack of tools, methods and models to support the phases of development, in particular, the early architectural design. In this paper a new environment for Embedded Control systems development is presented, which supports the modeling of such systems at a high abstraction level. The tool enables Control engineers and software developers to focus on the Control system aspects instead of the platform's ones. Two application examples will explain the important capability of this tool to provide a timing analysis before the production code generation.
