Twin Rotor MIMO System Experimental Validation of Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Against Wind Effects

Abstract

In this article, an adaptive fuzzy control (AFC) is synthesized to stabilize the twin rotor multi-input multi-output system (TRMS), to impose then its beam to follow accurately a desired signal or to reach reference positions in 2 DOF. The stability system in the closed-loop has been proved using Lyapunov method, in which all adaptive laws have been generated in order to improve the robustness versus wind gusts, external disturbances, and uncertainties. In addition, the developed control method does not require to decouple the TRMS into main and tail subsystems. Experimental implementation shows the capability of the developed control algorithm.
