Two novel nonlinear control schemes for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) carrying a load and their comparative results are presented in this paper. The goal is to carry the load to a desired position, with oscillation attenuation along the trajectory. The proposed control structures are hierarchical schemes consisting of nonlinear controllers to stabilize the vehicle translational movements and the payload swing together with a well-known state-dependent differential Riccati equation controller to stabilize the rotational dynamics. We present new methodologies where two nonlinear controllers are proposed to obtain precise aerial vehicle positioning and efficient load oscillation reduction by exploiting the natural coupling between the horizontal quadcopter movement and the payload oscillation. It is shown that asymptotic stability can be guaranteed by the use of the Lyapunov approach and La Salle’s invariance …
