Abstract The Model Predictive Control (MPC) trajectory tracking problem of an unmanned
quadrotor with input and output constraints is addressed. In this article, the dynamic models …

This paper proposes a linear constrained model predictive control (MPC) to solve the path
following problem for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles. In the controller, an augmented …

Due to the under-actuated and strong coupling characteristics of quadrotor aircraft,
traditional trajectory tracking methods have low control precision, and poor anti-interference …

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive output feedback dynamic surface sliding‐mode control
scheme is presented for a class of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The …

Motion-planning algorithms play a vital role in attaining various levels of autonomy for any
ground or flying agent. Three-dimensional (3D) motion-planning is interesting, but rather …

The objective of this paper is to introduce with a quaternion orientation based quadrotor that
can be controlled by Model Predictive Control (MPC). As MPC offers promising performance …
