Abstract

Controller design via feedback linearization of the plant is a powerful approach to some of the nonlinear control problems. This paper presents the feedback linearization of ETH Helicopter Model (Twin Rotor System). It is a two input two output nonlinear system with strong coupling between the movements about both axes, as either of the rotors can rotate the lever bar about both the vertical and horizontal axes. The task is to control the angular position of the system. A state feedback controller is designed based on the resulting linear system. The effectiveness of the approach is shown by simulations.
