Over the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have received a significant
attention due to their diverse capabilities for non-combatant and military applications. The …

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 …

In this paper, the path tracking controller for a class of agricultural quadrotor with variable
payload under the influence of the model uncertainties and exogenous disturbances is …

In this paper, a comparison of PD, PID, and SMC position controllers for a V-tail quadcopter
is presented. First, a customized design of the V-tail quadcopter is shown to know the …

The present paper is concerned with the robust and smooth attitude-position tracking control
of fully actuated multirotor aerial vehicles equipped with fixed rotors and subject to matched …

For the last decade, there has been great interest in studying dynamic control for unmanned
aerial vehicles, but drones—although a useful technology in different areas—are prone to …

This work addresses a new set of tuning rules for Sliding Mode Control (SMC) applied to
second-order inverse-response plus variable dead time processes. Descriptions of the …

This paper proposes a novel, robust flight control system using adaptive nonlinear sliding
mode control for a quadrotor UAV in the presence of parametric uncertainties and …

In adaptive model-based control systems, determining the appropriate controller gain is a
complex and time-consuming task due to noise and external disturbances. Changes in the …

In this work, a novel structure of a Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed to
change the dynamics during flight. The proposed mechanism is presented which consists of …
