Abstract
With an increasing focus on both performance and efficiency, UAV control
systems have made great progress. In this work, we extend a previous
LPV-MPC technique by including a more simplified control system for
UAVs. The proposed control method removes the requirement for a velocity
controller by concentrating on improving MPC performance using Particle
Swarm Optimization (PSO) of the weight matrices. This system uses PSO to
balance control effort with trajectory ac-curacy and simplifies the
control architecture, hence improving UAV control efficiency. It is
especially appropriate for situations where simplicity and energy
economy are absolutely important.
