Mohammed J. Mohammed, Mofeed T. Rashid, Abduladhem A. Ali . Design Optimal PID Controller for Quad Rotor System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 106, 3 ( November 2014), 15-20. DOI=10.5120/18500-9565
Quad rotor aerial vehicles are one of the most flexible and adaptable platforms for undertaking aerial research. Quad rotor in simplicity is rotorcraft that has four lift-generation propellers (four rotors), two rotors rotate in clockwise and the other two rotate anticlockwise, the speed and direction of Quad rotor can be controlled by varying the speed of these rotors. This paper describes the PID controller has been used for controlling attitude, Roll, Pitch and Yaw direction. In addition, optimal PID controller has been achieving by using particle swarm optimization (PSO), Bacterial Foraging optimization (BFO) and the BF-PSO optimization. Finally, the Quad rotor model has been simulating for several scenarios of testing.
