| 要約: | The use of multi-copter systems started to grow over the last years in various applications. The designed solutions require high stability and maneuverability. To fulfill these specifications, a robust control strategy must be designed and integrated. Focusing on this challenge, this research proposes an adaptive control design applied to a physical model of a quadrotor prototype. The proposed adaptive structure guarantees robustness, control flexibility, and stability to the whole process. The prototype components, structure, and laboratory testing equipment that are used to run the experiments are presented in this paper. The study is focused on the performance comparison of a classical PID controller and a fractional-order controller, which are both integrated into the adaptive scheme. Fractional-order controllers are preferred due to their recognized ability to increase the robustness of the overall closed-loop system. Furthermore, this work covers the design and the tuning method of this control approach. The research concludes with the actual results obtained for this comparative study that highlights the advantages of the fractional-order controller.
