This work presents an innovative hybrid control scheme for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) model to improve the disturbances rejection capability and body jerk performance by utilizing an active force control (AFC)-based robust intelligent control system via a simulation study. The proposed intelligent control approach incorporates a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and an intelligent active force control (IAFC) element yielding a robust PID-IAFC scheme. A detailed mathematical model of a quadrotor system with six degrees of freedom (DOFs) was first derived using the Newton-Euler method taking into consideration the gyroscopic terms, disturbances, aerodynamics, and friction effects. In the derived model, the PID controller was first designed to stabilize the quadrotor model and achieve the required altitude and attitude motions. In addition, different types of external disturbances in the form of sinusoidal waves and repeated impulses (pulsating) were added. An AFC strategy, known as PID-AFC, was designed and incorporated into the PID controller, and was initially tuned heuristically. Then, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method employing an iterative learning (IL) algorithm was designed and implemented into the AFC (ILAFC) to estimate the control parameters automatically while on-line.
