This book focuses on flight vehicles and their navigational
systems, discussing different forms of flight structures and their
control systems, from fixed wings to rotary crafts. Software
simulation enables testing of the hardware without actual
implementation, and the flight simulators, mechanics, glider
development and navigation systems presented here are suitable for
lab-based experimentation studies. It explores laboratory testing
of flight navigational sensors, such as the magnetic, acceleration
and Global Positioning System (GPS) units, and illustrates the
six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) instrumentation as well as
its data acquisition methodology. The book offers an introduction
to the various unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems and their
accessories, including the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method
for controlling the rotorcraft. It also describes a Matrix
Laboratory (MATLAB) control algorithm that simulates and runs the
lab-based 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) helicopter, as well as LabVIEW
software used to validate controller design and data acquisition.
Lastly, the book explores future developments in aviation
techniques.
This book covers the two broad areas of the electronics and
electrical aspects of control applications, highlighting the many
different types of control systems of relevance to real-life
control system design. The control techniques presented are
state-of-the-art. In the electronics section, readers will find
essential information on microprocessor, microcontroller,
mechatronics and electronics control. The low-level assembly
programming language performs basic input/output control techniques
as well as controlling the stepper motor and PWM dc motor. In the
electrical section, the book addresses the complete elevator PLC
system design, neural network plant control, load flow analysis,
and process control, as well as machine vision topics. Illustrative
diagrams, circuits and programming examples and algorithms help to
explain the details of the system function design. Readers will
find a wealth of computer control and industrial automation
practices and applications for modern industries, as well as the
educational sector.
This book introduces the technological innovations of robotic
vehicles. It presents the concepts required for self-driving cars
on the road. Besides, readers can gain invaluable knowledge in the
construction, programming, and control of the six-legged robot. The
book also presents the controllers and aerodynamics of several
different types of rotorcrafts. It includes the simulation and
flight of the various kinds of rotor-propelled air vehicles under
each of their different aerodynamics environment. The book is
suitable for academia, educators, students, and researchers who are
interested in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and rotor-propelled
vehicles.
