PID Control and Simulation Analysis of DC Motor for UAV Application

In contemporary society, the rapid advancement of technology has facilitated the widespread adoption of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control systems, which are among the most employed closed-loop systems across various applications. PID control is widely used in the field of automatic control, enabling precise management of dynamic systems. However, within the specific context of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), proportional-integral (PI) control currently prevails due to its effectiveness under certain flight conditions. This study aims to design a PID control system specifically tailored for UAV applications. To achieve this objective, the research compares the performance of PID control with that of PI, proportional-derivative (PD) control, and Proportional (P) control. This comparative analysis will facilitate a thorough evaluation of the advantages and efficacy of the PID approach in enhancing UAV performance. After the contrast, the study finds a specific combination of the PID control to make the UAV performance more stable and effective. The study enhances the UAV’s performance in future applications.
