Learn about Euler angle limitations due to Gimbal Lock and its avoidance using quaternions
Apply quaternion representation in MPC and PID algorithms in UAV attitude control for tracking trajectories
Implement quaternion based MPC and PID controllers in Python in offline simulation
Learn to convert Euler angles to quaternions and the challenges associated with it
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to using quaternions for UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) attitude representation and control, with a practical focus on implementing PID and Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms in Python. Ideal for engineers, robotics enthusiasts, and control systems students, this course demystifies quaternions, a powerful mathematical tool that resolves issues like Gimbal lock encountered with traditional Euler angles.
You will begin with fundamental concepts of quaternions, learning their algebra, derivatives, and integration techniques crucial for accurately modeling 3D rotational dynamics. The course emphasizes quaternion-based state representation and the benefits it offers in maintaining smooth and singularity-free attitude descriptions.
Building on this foundation, you will explore how to formulate and apply PID controllers on quaternion attitude errors to stabilize UAV orientations effectively. Furthermore, advanced control design using MPC will be covered, demonstrating how to incorporate quaternions into predictive control frameworks for enhanced performance in UAV attitude control.
All control algorithms and quaternion mathematics are implemented step-by-step in Python, with practical coding examples and guidance on simulation and real-time applications. This hands-on approach ensures you gain both theoretical understanding and practical programming skills.
Key highlights include:
Comprehensive study of quaternions vs Euler angles and how to avoid Gimbal lock
Mathematical modeling and numerical integration of quaternion-based systems
PID control design tailored for quaternion attitude errors
