- UAV05 Dynamics and Control I
General Prerequisites
Structural Dynamics, Numerical Methods in Vibration, Automatic control of dynamic systems
Learning Outcomes
Understanding of Lagrangian/Hamiltonian Mechanics and Multibody Dynamics. Introduction to Computational dynamics and co-simulation of rigid and deformable UAV models: Analysis of dynamic response and fluid-structure interaction using appropriate software. Development of robust control systems, to optimally estimate the situation and parameters to determine flight behavior and navigation. State estimation from sensor data, optimal model updates especially for aerodynamic forces estimation, trajectory optimization using geometric methods are essential elements in robust control and autonomous flight.
