Summary

Julian was born in Leipzig, Germany, in 1990. He received the B.Sc. degree in aerospace computer science and the M.Sc. degree in computer science from the University of Würzburg, Würzburg, in 2012 and 2016, respectively, where he is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree. Since 2017, he has been a Research Assistant with the Department of Aerospace Information Technology, University of Würzburg. His research interests include advanced UAV control and swarm formation flight. He was leader of the MIDRAS Project, developing an autonomous cooperative UAV system that is capable of catching micro drones in mid-air with a net.

@article{Rothe2020Modified, abstract = {Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are playing an increasingly important role in a wide variety of areas and the range of applications increases daily, which can also be seen in the research of the topic. At the University of Wuerzburg drones are to be used in a project, where the aim is to catch possibly dangerous UAVs in mid air using a net, carried by two drones. This very special scenario poses new problems to the control of the drones, so that traditionally used Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) controllers are no longer sufficient. Therefore a model-based adaption mechanism was chosen to be used to control the altitude of the drones. Though adaption based controllers have been used in the field of drone research before, the existing algorithms had to be modified to work with the special conditions of the altitude control of UAVs. The design and implementation of the modified Model Reference Adaptive Controllers (MRACs) with an updated Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-rule will be presented in this work. The behavior of the drones with and without the adaption as well as the changes to the original MRAC are then compared in simulation as well as on a real system and show very promising results in further improving the stability of the altitude control of the drones.}, author = {Rothe, Julian and Zevering, Jasper and Strohmeier, Michael and Montenegro, Sergio}, journal = {Electronics}, keywords = {uav}, number = 7, title = {A Modified Model Reference Adaptive Controller (M-MRAC) Using an Updated MIT-Rule for the Altitude of a UAV}, volume = 9, year = 2020 }
