The control of twin rotor multi-input multi-output system is difficult as it is subjected to model uncertainties and external disturbances. Furthermore, there also exists a coupling between pitch and yaw positions, which makes the system more difficult to control them separately. Considering the above difficulties in twin rotor multi-input multi-output system control, [Formula: see text] robust controller is designed to handle the model uncertainties and external disturbances with two-degree-of-freedom. A mixed sensitivity approach is employed to represent the uncertainties and external disturbances arise in the twin rotor multi-input multi-output system. For performance analysis, first the proposed two-degree-of-freedom [Formula: see text] controller is compared with the ‘Linear Quadratic Regulator-Linear Matrix Inequality’–based robust proportional–integral–derivative controller and Internal Model Control–based proportional–integral–derivative controller in MATLAB/Simulation and then in experimentation. From the obtained results, it is confirmed that the proposed controller exhibits enhanced robustness, faster tracking performance and accurate disturbance attenuation, when compared with Linear Quadratic Regulator-Linear Matrix Inequality–based robust proportional–integral–derivative controller and Internal Model Control–based proportional–integral–derivative controller in face of external disturbances and uncertainties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
