Advanced Event-Triggered Tracking Control Applied for Three-DOF Hover Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System

This paper proposes the implementation in simulation verification of two novel approaches for installing aperiodic control plants, namely event-triggered (ET) control method. A Quanser 3-DOF hover UAV system, an simulation drone-like plant, used as the nonlinear MIMO system for both simulation and simulation verification of this ET control approach which represents a reactive approach, via its coherent monitoring the plant state as to update the control action aperiodically. Proposed ET control approach will be implemented using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) induced from a Lyapunov expression. The simulation results confirm that the suggested ET control approach functions well on the Quanser 3-DOF UAV hover system compared of other advanced periodic control methods.
