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

In this study, an active disturbance rejection and predictive control strategy is presented to
solve the trajectory tracking problem for an unmanned quadrotor helicopter with …

The quadrotor is an ideal platform for testing control strategies because of its non-linearity
and under-actuated configuration, allowing researchers to evaluate and verify control …

This paper presents a method for generating quadrocopter trajectories in real time, from
some initial state to a final state defined by position, velocity and acceleration in a specified …

Path tracking is an essential task for autonomous vehicles (AV), for which controllers are
designed to issue commands so that the AV will follow the planned path properly to ensure …

In this paper, the quadrotor stabilization under time and state constraints is studied. The
objective is to design a nonlinear controller under time and state constraint for quadrotor …

In this paper, we present the development of a non-linear model predictive controller for the
trajectory tracking of a quadrotor using the CasADi optimization framework. The non-linear …
