Abstract

This paper presents the modeling, the design of control laws, for Euler angles and altitude, and their implementation. The proposed controller is based on the backstepping procedure and uses a state feedback linearizing technique to guarantee tracking of the desired Euler angles and altitude on the ornithopter. The provided controller provides exponential convergence to the desired values. Numerical and experimental applications of the proposed algorithm illustrates the performance of the control technique.
