Description
- This thesis describes the design and implementation of various autopilot software architectures for mini/micro rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles by exploiting the modelbased design approach. Nowadays in fact, the tendency for software development is changing from manual coding to automatic code generation, in other words, it is becoming model-based. In general, models can be described as abstractions of systems, they are created to serve particular purposes, for example, to present a user-understandable description of the system or to present information in a more intuitive form. Model-based techniques for software design enables the engineer to reduce drastically development time required for software corrections or modi�cations. Under the various chapters, di�erent flight control techniques are presented with theoretical background and tested via simulations and experimental campaigns. All the navigation and control problems presented below arise in development of embedded software that exploits the innovative model-based design technology. In order to provide validations of the proposed solutions, software for simulation and implementation is specialized for the case of multirotor vehicles, which are becoming very helpful systems for many and varied civil operations. This is the reason why part of the text is devoted to multirotor vehicle dynamics.
