Abstract
Quadrotor is a type of rotor craft that consists of four rotors and two pairs of counter-rotating, fixed-pitch blades located at the four corners of the body. The flight control parameters optimization is one of the key issues for quadrotor. Estimation of distribution algorithm is a new kind of evolutionary algorithm developed rapidly recently. However, low convergence speed and local optimum of the EDA are the main disadvantages that limit its further application. To overcome the disadvantages of EDA, a chaotic estimation of distribution algorithm is proposed in this paper. It is a combination of chaos theory and principles of estimation of distribution algorithm. Series of experimental comparison results are presented to show the feasibility, effectiveness and robustness of our proposed method. The results show that the proposed chaotic EDA can effectively improve both the global searching ability and the speed of convergence.
