Abstract

This study focuses on addressing the tracking control problem for a coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) without any prior knowledge of its dynamic model. To overcome the limitations of model-based control, a model-free approach based on terminal sliding mode control is proposed for achieving precise position and rotation tracking. The terminal sliding mode technique is utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear model of the system, while the global stability with finite-time convergence of the overall system is guaranteed using the Lyapunov theory. Additionally, the selection of control parameters is addressed by incorporating the accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm. Finally, numerical simulation tests are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed design approach, which demonstrates the capability of the model-free control approach to achieve accurate tracking control even without prior knowledge of the system’s dynamic model.
