商品描述

This book presents a comprehensive discussion of the mechanical modelling and control of multicopters, more commonly referred to as drones. By selecting concepts for presentation based on their ease of comprehension and suitability for practical application, the author employs a straightforward and concise approach. A main objective is to examine both the theoretical and practical aspects, as well as their interrelationship. The book presents the fundamental functional algorithms of a multicopter flight control system, specifically:

  • control allocation, or the distribution of a control demand among redundant actuators;
  • low-level control loops to control rotational and vertical motion;
  • simple guidance loops controlling the translational motion of a multicopter; and
  • an introduction to Kalman filtering, which addresses the fusion of direct sensor measurement in order to estimate the state of the drone.

These methods enable remotely piloted operation and preplanned path following.

Multicopter Flight Control will be of particular interest to academic researchers and graduate students working in the field of aerospace engineering, as well as to practising engineers engaged in the development of drones and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. It provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the fundamentals of flight control and guidance techniques, offering valuable insights for those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of these topics. In order to derive the greatest benefit from reading this monograph, readers should possess a fundamental understanding of multiple-input, multiple-output system theory, particularly state-space representation, stability and feedback control. Additionally, a basic comprehension of rotor aerodynamics and rigid-body dynamics is essential.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書全面討論了多旋翼飛行器的機械建模與控制,這些飛行器通常被稱為無人機。作者根據概念的易理解性和實用性選擇展示內容,採用簡單明瞭的方式。主要目標是檢視理論與實踐的各個方面及其相互關係。書中介紹了多旋翼飛行控制系統的基本功能演算法,具體包括:

- 控制分配,即在冗餘執行器之間分配控制需求;
- 控制旋轉和垂直運動的低階控制迴路;
- 控制多旋翼飛行器平移運動的簡單引導迴路;
- 介紹卡爾曼濾波,該方法處理直接傳感器測量的融合,以估計無人機的狀態。

這些方法使得遠程駕駛操作和預先規劃的路徑跟隨成為可能。

《多旋翼飛行控制》將特別吸引從事航空航天工程領域的學術研究者和研究生,以及參與無人機和電動垂直起降飛機開發的實務工程師。它提供了一本全面且實用的飛行控制和引導技術基礎指南,為那些希望深入了解這些主題的人提供了寶貴的見解。為了從這本專著中獲得最大的收益,讀者應具備多輸入多輸出系統理論的基本理解,特別是狀態空間表示、穩定性和反饋控制。此外,對於轉子空氣動力學和剛體動力學的基本理解也是必不可少的。

作者簡介

Johannes Stephan has a diploma degree in aerospace engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) and a bachelor's degree in business administration (B.Sc.), both from the University of Stuttgart. From 2014 to 2019, he held a research assistant position at the Institute of Flight Mechanics and Flight Control, working under Prof. W. Fichter, where he continues to share his knowledge as a lecturer. In 2020, he was awarded a Ph.D. for his research on Flight Control for Manned Multirotor Aircraft. Since 2019 he has been working at German aircraft manufacturer Volocopter GmbH, currently as a team leader for flight control systems and flight control laws. Since joining Volocopter, Johannes has played a key role in the development of cutting-edge flight control systems and particularly the control laws for various Volocopter projects and models. He holds multiple patents in the eVTOL domain with a focus on control concepts and architecture, human-machine interface, and features for enhanced handling qualities.

He has published several papers and contributions to proceedings on flight control and guidance for fixed-wing aircraft and multicopters (unmanned/manned) covering various techniques such as parameter-variant control, control allocation, and anti-windup methods.
