Title
System Identification, Estimation And Control For A Cost Effective Open-Source Quadcopter
Abstract
This paper describes system identification, estimation and control of translational motion and heading angle for a cost effective open-source quadcopter - the MikroKopter. The dynamics of its built-in sensors, roll and pitch attitude controller, and system latencies are determined and used to design a computationally inexpensive multi-rate velocity estimator that fuses data from the built-in inertial sensors and a low-rate onboard laser range finder. Control is performed using a nested loop structure that is also computationally inexpensive and incorporates different sensors. Experimental results for the estimator and closed-loop positioning are presented and compared with ground truth from a motion capture system.
