Design And Flight Testing Of LQRi Attitude Control For Quadcopter UAV
Abstract
This paper presents the design, implementation, and flight test results of linear quadratic integral regulator (LQRi) based attitude control for a quadcopter UAV. We present the derivation of the mathematical model for the kinematics and dynamics of the UAV, along with the linearized state space representation of the system about hover conditions. LQR and LQRi controllers are then designed to stabilize the UAV in hover conditions and to track desired attitude commands. The controllers are then implemented onboard the Pixhawk flight controller and flight test results are discussed. Finally, the code related to this paper has been published open-source for replication and further research
