Abstract

System identification using parametric linear approaches for modelling a twin rotor multi-input multi-output system (TRMS) in hovering position is presented in this work. The utilisation of a genetic algorithm (GA) optimisation technique for dynamic modelling of a highly non-linear system is studied in comparison to the conventional recursive least squares (RLS) technique. The global search technique of GA is used to identify the parameters of the TRMS based on one-step-ahead prediction. A comparative assessment of the two models in characterising the system is carried out in the time and frequency domains. Experimental results indicate the advantages of GA over RLS in linear parametric modelling. The developed genetic-modelling approach will be used for control design and development in future work.
