Attitude control of a Quadrotor using Brain Emotional Learning Based Intelligent Controller

Abstract

For the first time in this paper, Brain Emotional Learning Based Intelligent Controller (BELBIC) is applied to attitude control of a Quadrotor. BELBIC controller is designed based on the computational model of emotional learning process in mammalian brain limbic system. Proposed control algorithm is employed because of the learning ability and independency to system model and also satisfactory performances dealing with disturbances and changing in system parameters. Quadrotor is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which has the capability of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). Simulation results of controlling Quadrotor with BELBIC are addressed. Also pitch angle disturbance is applied due to examine system performances.
