Abstract
We propose two design methods of a gain scheduling controller for flight control of two-rotor hovering system. We first propose a method of converting whole dynamics of the hovering system to a linear parameter-varying (LPV) system at once. Secondly, we propose a method of linearizing longitudinal dynamics of the system exactly and converting remaining dynamics to an LPV system. In both cases, the state feedback gain scheduling controller is designed for the obtained LPV system by solving a convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
