Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) for Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS)

Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS) is a dynamic model with high non-linearity that resembles a helicopter with reduced degree-of-freedom (DOF). Besides, cross-coupling between main rotor and tail rotor contributes to the difficulty in controlling the system. Majority of the previous researches have not f...

description Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS) is a dynamic model with high non-linearity that resembles a helicopter with reduced degree-of-freedom (DOF).
