Abstract
This paper addresses the stability and tracking control problem of a quadrotor unmanned flying robot vehicle in the presence of modeling error and disturbance uncertainty. The input algorithms are designed for autonomous flight control with the help of an energy function. Adaptation laws are designed to learn and compensate the modeling error and external disturbance uncertainties. Lyapunov theorem shows that the proposed algorithms can guarantee asymptotic stability and tracking of the linear and angular motion of a quadrotor vehicle. Compared with the existing results, the proposed adaptive algorithm does not require an a priori known bound of the modeling errors and disturbance uncertainty. To illustrate the theoretical argument, experimental results on a commercial quadrotor vehicle are presented.Keywords
