Real-time identification of an unmanned quadcopter flight dynamics using fully tuned radial basis function network
description A quadcopter is a four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with nonlinear and strongly coupled dynamics system. A precise dynamics model is important for developing a robust controller for a quadcopter. NN model capable to obtain the accurate dynamics model from actual data without having any govemmg mathematical model or priori assumptions. Recursive system identification based on neural network (NN) offers an alternative method for quadcopter dynamics modelling.
