Structured H-infinity Synthesis for Certification-Oriented UAV Control Law Analysis and Tuning

This project aims to help Canadian UAV startups improve the safety and reliability of their autopilot systems by creating a software tool that checks and fine-tunes how these systems perform. Using a method called structured H8 synthesis, implemented through MATLAB, the intern will build a framework that ensures flight control systems meet key industry requirements, such as stability, responsiveness, and resistance to environmental disturbances. The work will focus on the widely used but hard-to-certify ArduPilot platform, showing how advanced analysis can make it more suitable for regulated operations.
