Abstract

Thanks to their hovering and vertical take-off and landing abilities, quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are receiving a great deal of attention. With the diversified development of the functions of UAVs, the requirements for flight performance with higher stability and maneuverability are increasing. Aiming at parameter uncertainty and external disturbance, a deep deterministic policy gradient-based active disturbance rejection controller (DDPG-ADRC) is proposed. The total disturbances can be compensated dynamically by adjusting the controller bandwidth and the estimation of system parameters online. The tradeoff between anti-interference and rapidity can be better realized in this way compared with the traditional ADRC. The process of parameter tuning is demonstrated through the simulation results of tracking step instruction and sine sweep under ideal and disturbance conditions. Further analysis shows the proposed DDPG-ADRC has better performance.
