Modeling and control of a quadrotor

Abstract

The report presents the state-of-the-art methodologies used to control Quadrotor UAVs. Prior to the discussion of the control methodologies, a detailed description of the dynamic modelling of the Quadrotor is presented. Various control strategies like the Proportional Derivative Control, the Sliding Mode Control and the Backstepping Control methods have been elucidated and implemented in MATLAB and SIMULINK. Simulations have been carried out and the results have been presented.
