Abstract: This paper investigates the modelling and control system design of a small-scale unmanned helicopter. We employ a system identification method to get the attitude angular velocity transfer function of a helicopter, and apply a nested PID approach to design the control system, which can be used to control the attitude and position of a helicopter. Experimental results show that the identified model is very accurate and the system designed based on our model can manipulate the attitude and position of a helicopter quite well.
