Abstract
In this study, an experimental test platform of a low-cost coaxial rotors has been developed for implementation of Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) with Fractional Order Adjustment Rules by using MATLAB/Simulink. This paper provides a design method of MRAC with fractional order adjustment rule (FOAR-MRAC) that is implemented on a hardware based on ARM microcontroller. Setup of the test platform is presented and its performance is evaluated with real-time experimental measurements. This experimental study is useful to show the utilization of fractional order control systems on engineering applications by using low-cost hardware.
