Axis Control of a Nonlinear Helicopter Model Using Intelligent Controller

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based intelligent control is employed on a helicopter system in this paper. This helps to control the alterations of the pitch axis and yaw axis of helicopter, with the reference trajectory. Two different ANFIS logic modules are developed, one is to help adjust the angle variations in pitch axis and other is to help adjusting the yaw axis angle variations of a two degree of freedom (2 DOF) Quanser Helicopter system, so that the altitude and angular speed are controlled altogether. The whole execution framework utilizes standard configurations of MATLAB platform and simulation toolboxes. The results obtained in the process are then compared with the traditional LQR Controller and Fuzzy Controller on simulation platform.
