A novel design of the MANFIS-PSO PID controller for quadrotors

Nowadays, the exploration technologies mainly rely on the satellite positioning or the video capturing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Here, for the UAV is with the natures of high mobility and secrecy in operation, low cost, and without the limits on terrain obstacles, UAVs are numerously employed in military applications to decrease casualties. However, weather condition is the major factor of uncertainty that affects the video capturing of a UAV. In order to obtain high-definition video data, how to level up the balancing technology for the UAV becomes one of the most important topics in the UAV development. For the above-mentioned target, a novel PID tuning technology based on the integration of MIMO-ANFIS and PSO is designed in this paper. The control effectiveness is confirmed through the Matlab/Simulink simulation study on a quadrotor model.
