Signal corrector and decoupling estimations for UAV control

Abstract: For a class of uncertain systems with large-error sensing, the low-order stable signal corrector and observer are presented for signal correction and uncertainty estimation according to completely decoupling estimation. The signal corrector can reject the large error in global position sensing, and system uncertainty can be estimated by the observer, even the existence of stochastic non-Gaussian noise. The corrector and observer are applied to a UAV navigation and control for large-error corrections in position/attitude angle and the uncertainties estimation in the UAV flight dynamics. The control laws are designed according to the correction-estimation results. Finally, experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
