Abstract :
A two module fuzzy logic controller that also includes a separate error calculating box is derived for autonomous navigation and control of small manned- unmanned aerial vehicles demonstrating ability to fly through specified waypoints in a 3-D environment repeatedly, perform trajectory tracking, and, duplicate/follow another vehicle´s trajectory. A MATLAB standard configuration environment and the Aerosim Aeronautical Simulation Block Set are utilized for simulation studies, presented through a visualization interface; results illustrate controller performance and potential.
