Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel approach for the control of helicopters, using a flight dynamics model of the aircraft to develop reliable controllers by means of classical procedures, evolutionary either reinforcement learning techniques. Here we are presenting the method that we use to estimate the aircraft position, including the low level image processing, the hardware configuration which allows us to register the commands generated by an expert pilot using a conventional radio control (RC) transmitter, and how both variables are related by an artificial neural network (ANN).
