Description
Master the essential engineering principles behind modern autonomous drones!This complete course onDrone Modeling, Simulation, and Controlis designed for engineers, students, and advanced hobbyists seeking deep, practical knowledge in robotics and UAV systems.
Move beyond theory and learn how todesign a functional flight controllerfrom the ground up. You will begin by establishing the mathematical foundation, learning to derive thefull 12-state nonlinear equations of motionfor a quadrotor using Newton-Euler formalism. This modeling step is critical for accurate control system development.
The course then focuses on creating a stable, high-performance flight system. You will master thedesign and tuning of industry-standard PID control systemsfor both the drone's attitude (roll, pitch, yaw) and altitude. Learn how these controllers are cascaded to ensure stable flight and precise navigation.
Crucially, all theoretical concepts are immediately translated into practice. You will useMATLAB/Simulinkto build a comprehensive, closed-loop simulation model, allowing you totest, analyze, and validateyour control designs against real-world disturbances.
Key skills you will gain:
Deriving the complete 12-state dynamics model.
Implementing and tuning PID controllers for all 6 degrees of freedom.
Simulating complex dynamics in a professional environment.
Developing the expertise required for advanced control techniques.
Enroll today to transform your understanding of drones into a professional-grade engineering skill!
