Model Parameter Identification

Dynamics modeling of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is an essential step for design and evaluation of an UAV system. Many advanced control strategies for nonlinear dynamical or robotic systems which are applicable to UAVs depend upon known dynamics models. The accuracy of a model depends not only on the mathematical formulae or computational algorithm of the model but also on the values of model parameters. Many model parameters are very difficult to measure for a given UAV. This paper presents the results of a simulation based study of an in-flight model parameter identification method. Assuming the motion state of a flying UAV is directly or indirectly measureable, the method can identify the unknown inertia parameters of the UAV. Using the recursive least-square technique, the method is capable of updating the model parameters of the UAV while the vehicle is in flight. A scheme of estimating an upper bound of the identification error in terms of the input data errors (or sensor errors) is also discussed.

A novel state estimation algorithm based on the parameters of a self-learning unscented Kalman filter (UKF) with a model parameter identification method based on a collaborative optimization mechanism is proposed in this paper. This algorithm can realize the dynamic self-learning and self-adjustment of the parameters in the UKF algorithm and the automatic optimization setting Sigma points without human participation. In addition, the multi-algorithm collaborative optimization mechanism unifies a variety of algorithms, so that the identification method has the advantages of member algorithms while avoiding the disadvantages of them. We apply the combination algorithm proposed in this paper for state of charge (SoC) estimation of power batteries and compare it with other model parameter identification algorithms and SoC estimation methods. The results showed that the proposed algorithm outperformed the other model parameter identification algorithms in terms of estimation accuracy and robustness.

Model Parameter Identification

The dynamic model parameter identification is important for unmanned aerial vehicle modeling and control. The unmanned aerial vehicle model parameters are usually identified through wind tunnel experiments, which are complex. In this paper, a model parameter identification method is proposed using the flight data for quadrotors. The parameters of the thrust, drag force, torque, rolling moment and pitching moment are estimated through Kalman filter. Global positioning system and inertial sensors are used as measurements. The observabilities of the model parameters and their degrees of observability are analyzed. Flight experiments are carried out to verify the proposed method. It is shown that the model parameters estimated by the proposed method have good accuracies, demonstrating the validity of the proposed method.

Model Parameter Identification

Abstract A model of the friction characteristics of carbon brakes is proposed to aid in the understanding of the causes of brake vibration. The model parameters are determined by a genetic algorithm in an attempt to identify differences in friction properties between brake applications during which vibration occurs and those during which there is no vibration. The model computes the brake torque as a function of wheelspeed, brake pressure, and the carbon surface temperature. The surface temperature is computed using a five node temperature model. The genetic algorithm chooses the model parameters to minimize the error between the model output and the torque measured during a dynamometer test. The basics of genetic algorithms and results of the model parameter identification process are presented.
