• Trajectory tracking controllers are designed for and executed on a fixed-wing UAV.
• Trajectories are generated online by concatenating pre-specified motion primitives.
• Switched controllers are designed for discrete-time linearized models of the UAV.
• LMI-based control approaches with H-infinity type performance are applied.
• Lemniscate and aerobatic trajectories are used to validate designed controllers.
The paper focuses on the control of a small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) along trajectories. The trajectories are generated in real-time from a library of pre-specified motion primitives. Two concatenated primitive trajectories are considered: one formed from seven primitives and exhibiting a figure-8 geometric path and another composed of a Split-S maneuver that settles into a level-turn trim trajectory. Switched control systems stemming from ℓ2ℓ2-induced norm synthesis approaches are designed for discrete-time linearized models of the nonlinear UAV system. These controllers are analyzed based on simulations in a realistic operational environment and are further implemented on the physical UAV.
