ABSTRACT

This paper is the thirteenth in a series of research papers presenting the control of autonomous vehicles using compensators and controllers from the second generation of control compensators and PID controllers. It handles the control of rocket yaw angle using I-second order, feedforward 2/2 second-order and feedback PD compensators with comparison with the use of a PD controller from the first generation of PID controllers. The proposed compensators are tuned using multiple approaches including zero-pole cancellation, desired characteristics and MATLAB optimization toolbox. The step time response of the control system using the three proposed compensatorsis presented and compared with using a PD controller to control the same rocket yaw angle and the time-based characteristics are compared. The comparison reveals the best compensator among the four presented compensators/controllers depending on a qualitative and quantitative comparison study.
