Resumen
This paper reports the synthesis of a controller for the X-Cell mini-helicopter. It is developed on basis of the most realistic mathematical model actually availble ([1]). A combined control structure is proposed: Mamdani controllers keep set points for an altitude/attitude controller. These controllers are designed in the simplest rule base. Altitude/attitude controller is constituted for conventional SISO PID controllers for z-position and roll, pitch and yaw angles. This control scheme mimics the action of an expert pilot. The proposed scheme is tested via simulations; it presents a good performance for hover flight, and control position in slow speed. © 2005 IEEE.
