Abstract:
In this paper, the robust H∞ fuzzy tracking control strategy for a quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with strong coupling and highly nonlinear is put forward based on the Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy error model. Firstly, the quad-rotor UAV system is divided into altitude subsystem, position subsystem and attitude subsystem. Through selecting appropriate premise variables, three T-S fuzzy error models, which are equivalent to the error dynamic model, are established by the sector linearization approach. Next, the uncertainties in drag coefficients, moments of inertia are taken into account, and the interval matrix is introduced to describe them in altitude, position and attitude T-S fuzzy error models. Then the robust H∞ fuzzy feedback controllers are designed to stabilize T-S fuzzy subsystems. Besides, according to the Lyapunov stability theorem, it is obtained that the LMI sufficient conditions of exponential stability with the prescribed H∞ performance for T-S fuzzy closed-loop subsystems. Meanwhile, the method for solving the gain matrices of controller is presented. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness and advantages of the proposed method. Then the feasibility of the proposed method is further verified by experimental results.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
