Quadrotor Neural Network Adaptive Control: Design and Experimental Validation

RA-L 2023

This letter presents the design and experimental study of an adaptive nonlinear controller for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of unknown time-varying disturbances, and model parametric uncertainty. We employ an adaptive Neural Network (NN), used to approximate the partially unknown

UDE-Based Robust Control of a Quadrotor-Slung-Load System

Yanhu Wang, Gan Yu, Wei Xie, Weidong Zhang, Carlos Silvestre

RA-L 2023

This letter addresses the robust trajectory tracking problem for a Quadrotor-Slung-Load System (QSLS), which consists of a point-mass load and a rigid-body quadrotor connected by an inelastic cable. To construct the controller, we employ the backstepping technique and propose an Uncertainty and Dist
