Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of robust control technology for UAV altitude dynamic systems, specifically relating to fractional-order control of UAV altitude dynamic systems with uncertain parameters. Robust elastic control method. Background Technology

[0002] Research on control theory based on system mechanism models has gradually become a focus of attention in the scientific and engineering communities. However, practical engineering system models often exhibit high complexity, strong coupling, and prominent nonlinear characteristics. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the rapid development of modern industrial automation, the requirements for system accuracy are increasing, and control systems need to maintain good control performance even in the face of uncertainty and external disturbances. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as a simple and easy-to-operate flight system, have been widely used in many fields due to their low cost and high flexibility, such as forest monitoring, marine monitoring, waterway monitoring, remote sensing mapping, urban fire fighting, and freight transport. However, due to their small size and light weight, UAVs are inevitably subject to interference from various external factors during use, making it difficult to accurately obtain state information. This leads to a decline in the system control performance of UAVs or even loss of control, posing a significant challenge to the control safety and application of UAVs. PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) control is the most commonly used aircraft control method due to its simple design and ease of engineering implementation. However, when model parameters or operating conditions change, control performance is difficult to guarantee. Studies have shown that, compared with traditional integer-order PID controllers, fractional-order PID controllers can more accurately predict and adjust the changing trends of the system, achieving faster response speeds and thus better control performance under conditions of significant disturbances. The introduction of fractional-order control theory provides new ideas and approaches for solving some problems that traditional control theory cannot handle.

[0003] Fractional calculus differs from traditional calculus in that its orders are all integers. The orders of fractional calculus can be any rational, irrational, or even complex number. Integer-order differential systems are typically used to describe phenomena that can be represented by derivatives, such as the motion of objects and changes in temperature. Fractional calculus, with its wider range of orders, can more accurately describe phenomena that traditional integer-order differential systems cannot accurately represent. For example, in physics and engineering, the dynamic behavior of systems with nonlinearity and memory effects, such as springs, can be more accurately described using fractional differential equations. Fractional control systems, by incorporating fractional calculus theory, improve the accuracy and flexibility of control systems. Research shows that fractional controllers can increase the degrees of freedom in adjusting system controller parameters, thereby further improving the performance of the controlled system. In industrial automated production lines, fractional control systems are better able to adapt to complex and changing environments, such as robotic arm control. Furthermore, because fractional controllers are less sensitive to changes in system parameters and environmental disturbances, they also exhibit better robustness and stability. Direct control of fractional systems is particularly important for more accurately reflecting the dynamic characteristics of a system.

[0004] Robust control methods Performance control is the earliest method for mitigating disturbances and an important branch of modern control theory, primarily used to handle systems with uncertainties and external disturbances. Unlike traditional PID control methods, Performance control, through optimized controller design, enables the system to possess strong robustness against external disturbances and internal uncertainties, thereby ensuring system stability and performance over a wide range of disturbances and parameter variations. In recent years, with the improvement of industrial automation levels and the continuous increase in system control requirements, Performance control, due to its high adaptability to the dynamic characteristics of the system, has become the preferred method for solving complex control problems requiring high precision and high reliability. However, Implementing performance control typically involves extensive computation and complex mathematical modeling, especially in real-world systems where factors such as disturbances, nonlinear characteristics, and time delays can significantly impact performance. The design and application of performance control face significant challenges. Currently, Research on performance control mainly focuses on how to simplify controller design, improve computational efficiency, and overcome the effects of system uncertainties and disturbances.
