Abstract

The paper aims at researching and developing an adaptive control system algorithm and its implementation and integration in the control system of the existing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The authors describe the mathematical model of UAV and target function for energy consumption minimisation and possible searching algorithms for UAV optimal control from an energy efficiency perspective. There are two main goals: to minimise energy consumption and to develop and investigate an adaptive control algorithm for UAV traction drive in order to increase energy efficiency.
