Identification and Estimation of DC-Motor Dynamics for the Crazyflie Quadcopter

Ottosson, Erik (2017)

Abstract
In this thesis methods for finding state space representation parameters for low inductance DC-motors are found and evaluated. Theory previously tested in simulations is verified experimentally and improved upon for both linear behaviour when the motor is controlled with a DC-source as well as nonlinear behaviour when controlled with pulse width modulation (PWM). For the linear behaviour a linear regression model with multiple regression sets proved satisfactory at identifying the motor dynamics. For the nonlinear behaviour caused by the PWM signal it was found that a Hammerstein model was sufficient to model the dynamics and several rotor speed estimators were tested and compared. Based on these results a design for a Crazyflie expansion... (More)
