Simulation environment helps design of an LQR controller for a quadrocopter

Maplesoft’s suite of tools for modeling and analysing engineering systems creates a robust simulation environment in which a detailed plant model of a quadrocopter can be used for LQR controller development and testing. The development of the plant and controller in the same Maplesoft environment:

reduces the need for inefficient tool-swapping

accelerates the design process

optimises the design of the controller

The combination of MapleSim, Maple and the MapleSim Control Design Toolbox allows an engineer to produce faster and more accurate results, thereby dramatically reducing the time and cost typically associated with control design.
