Abstract

This paper introduces the principle and method of a new design of the experimental platform for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system identification based on LabVIEW, which is a popular tool for developing virtual instrument and is also widely used in many applications in the fields of measurement and control. Inherited with the Graphic programming and data stream driving mode from LabVIEW, the new platform also has the ability for data acquiring, preprocessing, and system identification etc. Experiments and simulations have been done by this platform. The analysis results prove that this platform is an efficient tool for research on the UAV system identification and education.
