Identification, Model Validation and Control of an Octorotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
This paper presents an experimental procedure for the identification of parameters of an octorotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), as well as the obtained model validation via control. The octorotor UAV is a highly nonlinear, multivariable and strongly coupled system. The mathematical model of used UAV includes rigid body dynamics, the Gyroscopic effect and motor dynamics. In order to estimate eleven unknown parameters, the experiments are specially prepared and conducted on the custom made apparatus. Therefore, on basis of obtained measurements, some modifications of the octorotor model are made.
