Description
Summary:Designing a reliable flight control for an autonomous helicopter requires a high performance dynamics model. This paper studies the recurrent neural network nonlinear model identification of a small scale helicopter. We have selected a Nonlinear AutoRegressive with eXogenous Inputs Series- Parallel (NARXSP) network model which identifies the dynamics model of an unmanned aerial helicopter from real flight data. The identification process is conducted by using the well known Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithm. The obtained dynamics model shows good fitness with the actual data. This accuracy might be used to realize a reliable flight control for an autonomous helicopter.
