To design a linear controller for the yaw motion of a hexacopter, understanding the yawing motion equation and the hexacopter's transfer function is essential. The discussion highlights that the professor provided a simplified first-order system representation of the motion. Participants emphasize the need for a solid grasp of control theory and feedback systems to effectively derive the necessary equations. Without this knowledge, designing an open-loop system becomes challenging. Overall, a clear understanding of the underlying dynamics is crucial for successful controller design.

Hi everyone, I am to design a linear controller for the yaw motion of a hexacopter. My professor gave me this simplified version of the motion (in picture) . However I am trying to derive it myself, but I really can't get my head around it. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Of course t_m is the time constant, not tau_m*s
 
Your professor just wrote a first order system which is linear. However, in order to derive a proper you need to know the equation of the yawing motion of your device. Also, you need to know the transfer function of the hexacopter itself. Then you can design the open loop system but to be honest I don't really remember controls and feedback and I don't think I can help you much :(
 
I agree. You have to know the equation of the yawing motion of the device as well as the transfer function of the hexacopter.
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
