Abstract

Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is a heuristic method by If-Then Rules which resembles human intelligence and it is a good method for designing Non-linear control systems. In this paper, an arbitrary helicopter model includes articulated manipulators has been simulated with Matlab SimMechanics toolbox and then we designed a fuzzy controller for its yaw and roll angles when the manipulators are moving for a task. Results reveal that a simple FLC can control this complex system well.
Keywords: Fuzzy logic controller; Helicopter; Manipulator; Modeling
