Abstract

When a helicopter is required to hover with minimum
deviations from a desired position without measurements
of an affecting persistent wind disturbance, a robustly stabilizing
control action is vital. In this paper, the stabilization of
the position and translational velocity of a nonlinear helicopter
model affected by a wind disturbance is addressed. The wind
disturbance is assumed to be a sum of a fixed number of
sinusoids with unknown amplitudes, frequencies and phases. An
estimate of the disturbance is introduced to be adapted using
state measurements for control purposes. A nonlinear controller
is then designed based on nonlinear adaptive output regulations
and robust stabilization of a chain of integrators by a saturated
feedback. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the
control design in the stabilization of helicopter motion and the
built-in robustness of the controller in handling parameter and
model uncertainties.
