Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer a wide range of interesting military and commercial
applications at reduced costs. A couple of their more interesting characteristics include: They …

Over the past several decades, there has been a constant increase in the use of unmanned
aircraft systems (UASs). Hence, there has also been a growth in the number of control …

A method based on second order sliding mode control (2-SMC) is proposed to design
controllers for a small quadrotor UAV. For the switching sliding manifold design, the …

This paper presents an integral predictive and nonlinear robust control strategy to solve the
path following problem for a quadrotor helicopter. The dynamic motion equations are …

The trajectory control problem, defined as making a vehicle follow a pre-established path in
space, can be solved by means of trajectory tracking or path following. In the trajectory …

This paper addresses the stability and tracking control problem of a quadrotor unmanned
flying robot vehicle in the presence of modeling error and disturbance uncertainty. The input …

A new approach to control, stabilization and disturbance rejection of attitude subsystem of
quadrotor is presented in this article. Analytical method is used to tune conventional …

This paper presents a novel method for tuning a quadrotor trajectory-tracking model
predictive control (MPC) framework, based on cooperative particle swarm optimization …

This paper presents a novel hierarchical control strategy based on adaptive radical basis
function neural networks (RBFNNs) and double-loop integral sliding mode control (IntSMC) …

In this paper, the problem of designing a control law in case of rotor failure in quadrotor
vehicles is addressed. First, a nonlinear mathematical model for a quadrotor vehicle is …
