Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can perform numerous tasks fearless of unnecessary loss of human life. Lately, to enhance UAV control performance, system identification and states estimation has been an active field of research. This work presents a simulation study that investigates unknown dynamics model parameters estimation of a Quadrotor UAV under presence of noisy feedback signals. The latter constitute a challenge for UAV control performance especially with the presence of uncertainties. Therefore, estimation techniques are usually used to reduce the effect of such uncertainties. In this paper, three estimation methods are presented to estimate unknown parameters of the OS4 Quadrotor. Those methods are Iterative Bi-Section Shooting method IBSS, Artificial Neural Network method ANN, and Hybrid ANN_IBSS, which is a novel method that integrates ANN with IBSS. The Hybrid ANN_IBSS is the main contribution of this work. Percentage error of the estimated parameters is used to evaluate accuracy of the aforementioned methods. Results show that IBSS and ANN are capable of estimating most of the parameters even with the presence of noisy feedback signals. However, their performance lacks accuracy when estimating small-value parameters. On the other hand, Hybrid ANN_IBSS achieved higher estimation accuracy compared to the other two methods. Accurate parameter estimation is expected to enhance reliability of the OS4 dynamics model and hence improve control quality. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
