Design of 3D simulator for 2DOF helicopter model control
The paper presents a design of 3D simulator for 2DOF laboratory helicopter model (Humusoft CE 150) and its practical implementation in various control system structures. The developed simulator provides testing performance of different control algorithms and visualization of results obtained. The 3D simulator has been designed and developed using the VRML programming language under the Virtual Reality toolbox in Matlab/Simulink. The effectiveness of this simulator are demonstrated during simulation and experiments on the 2DOF helicopter model using different control techniques, such as PID, adaptive gain scheduling and fuzzy controllers. Some of them have been designed in this paper.
