Adaptive Data-driven Controller Design for a Control Simulator with a Common Single Main Rotor-single Tail Rotor Configuration

Nowadays, industrial systems deal with a wide range of constraints. Input saturation and lack of system model are two types of these constraints. In this paper, a separate model free adaptive data-driven controller for a nonlinear system called a simulator with the conventional configuration of a main single-tailed propeller, twin rotor MIMO system (TRMS) in the presence of input saturation is presented. In the proposed controller, the design of the control input signal only depends on the input and output data of the system and the system model is not used. The purpose of this paper is to control the horizontal and vertical angles of the TRMS system. For this purpose, at first, using the model of TRMS that has been presented for this system in previous articles, a model of the relevant system is expressed and then only using the input and output data obtained from that model, control the defined angles with a separate model free adaptive data-driven control method. Finally, the performed simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for the TRMS, by using two difference reference signals named variable steps and sinusoidal.
