Abstract:
This paper presents a novel unified modelling approach using Bond Graphs (BG) as a graphical language and as a framework for modelling and validation for UAVs. The proposed framework supports a concurrent design approach across the domains. In addition, it doubles as a design and knowledge framework for physical systems at various levels of abstraction. This framework can be used as a tool to facilitate design refinement from behavioural and functional modelling to explore system architecture and for rapid prototyping of mechatronic systems such as UAVs. The model framework was applied to a R-50 experimental model helicopter for obtaining preliminary results.
