Nonlinear Control of Quadrotor: Feedback Linearization and Sliding Mode Control

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are inherently underactuated, as they are expected to track six outputs using only four rotors. Due to their nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear control techniques have gained popularity for controlling quadrotors. This study, therefore, compares two prominent nonlinear control methods: adaptive Feedback Linearization (FBL) and robust Sliding Mode Control (SMC). Lyapunov stability analysis was conducted to validate the control design, followed by MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations. The results show that adaptive FBL demonstrated superior performance in position and attitude tracking compared to its robust SMC counterpart based on the root mean square error metric.
