Abstract
In this paper, a robust controller for a three degree of freedom helicopter control is proposed in presence of modeling error and disturbance. In this frame, interval type-2 fuzzy logic control approach (IT2FLC) and sliding mode control (SMC) techniques are used to design a controller named interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode controller (IT2FSMC). Elevation, pitch and travel angles are considered measurable, whereas unmeasured states are estimated by using a nonlinear observer. The proposed control scheme can not only attenuate the chattering effect of the SMC, but also it reduces the rules number of the fuzzy controller. As for stability, it is exponentially guaranteed by using the Lyapunov criteria. The simulation results show that the IT2FSMC significantly alleviates the chattering effect and provides a good tracking performance, in the presence of modeling error and disturbance. They also illustrate that the IT2FSMC achieves the best tracking performance in comparison with the type-1 fuzzy logic controller, the IT2FLC and the type-1 fuzzy sliding mode controller.
