In the last video, we learned how accurate, nonlinear models are great for simulation but they don’t lend themselves well to linear analysis and design. This video takes the nonlinear model of the Parrot Minidrone and builds a linearizable model that can be used for tuning the 6 PID controllers in our control architecture. We use the PID tuner app in Simulink to tune the altitude control loop and show why having a good model of your system is fundamental to Model-Based Design.
