Abstract:

Taking into account the growing use of quadcopters for various purposes, this work is devoted to considering the issues of mathematical modeling of their spatial motion and constructing a program optimal control law that ensures flight with a given intermediate value of part of the coordinates of the phase vector at some point in time. Based on the laws of theoretical mechanics, a system of differential equations describing the spatial motion of the quadcopter is given. For a linearized mathematical model of the motion of a quadcopter and a quadratic functional, the problem of constructing an optimal control law with given initial and final values of the phase vector and the value of a part of the coordinates at an intermediate point in time solved by the method of problems of moments. Optimal control functions and corresponding phase trajectories of optimal motion are constructed, taking into account the value of a part of the coordinates at some intermediate point in time. To illustrate the proposed approach, explicit expressions for the program optimal control function, phase coordinates of motion and corresponding graphs are constructed for specific numerical values.
