This paper proposes an image-based robust hovering controller for multirotor micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) in GPS-denied environments. The proposed controller is robust against the effects of multiple uncertainties in angular dynamics of vehicle which contain external disturbances, nonlinear dynamics, coupling, and parametric uncertainties.

Conference Paper
This paper proposes a practical robust attitude controller for uncertain hexarotor micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). The proposed robust controller consists of a nominal linear time-invariant controller and a robust compensator for pitch, roll, and yaw subsystems. The nominal controller is an inner-outer loop structure of PI+PID (proportional-integral...

Multirotor aerial robotic vehicles attract much attention due to their increased load capacity and high maneuverability. In this paper, a robust optimal attitude controller is proposed for a kind of multirotor helicopters—hexarotors. It consists of a nominal optimal controller and a robust compensator. The nominal controller is designed based on th...

... The complementary filter [23] passes the accelerometer and the magnetometer signals through a low-pass filter and the gyroscope signals through a high-pass filter and combines them for attitude calculation. As a significant advantage, the complementary filter uses relatively simple algorithm, which only requires less computation and is easy to implement [24]. Such a feature makes it preferred for embedded systems such as attitude estimation of drones. ...
... Por otra parte, en[2]se presenta un controlador por Modos Deslizantes y un controlador no-lineal H para estabilizar el movimiento rotacional de un Quad-Rotor en presencia de perturbaciones aerodinámicas e incertidumbre en el modelo. Sin embargo, dicho controlador presenta la desventaja del excesivo costo computacional que requiere encontrar la solución de una ecuación diferencial parcial de Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs. En[11]se propone el diseño de un control de inclinación robusto y óptimo para un Hexa-Rotor con incertidumbre paramétrica y perturbaciones externas. Dicho controlador se compone de la combinación de un control LQR y un observador de perturbaciones. ...
... It is a six rotors nonlinear system than can be operated like a helicopter, but it is more secure than a UAV fixed wing. Like a helicopter, it is capable to do vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and can fly at low altitudes [1,2]. The common application of hexacopter includes surveillance, military needs, monitoring purposes, search and rescue operations and mobile sensor networks [1]. ...

... As a consequence, a wide variety of control strategies have been proposed for the problem of trajectory tracking for hexacopters. Initially, some linear control methods were presented, and these works considered small angles' assumptions that are necessary for linear control techniques, and the most common structures were presented by Alaimo et al., who developed a proportional-integral and derivative controller (PID) under linear assumptions in UAVs with an hexacopter configuration [26] and Salim et al. presented optimum linear control that stabilizes the attitude of a micro-hexacopter in indoor environments [27]. ...
... In addition, research on multirotor previously focus mainly on the multirotor control issue. Due to the two extra rotors, the torque of the hexarotor around each axis differs from the quadrotors, and consequently affects the dynamical reaction differently [6,7]. As a result, multirotor mathematical modeling is critical for both mechanical and electronic systems to address its stability analysis and controller design issues. ...
... Linear controllers perform well around hover operating points where a linear model of the rotorcraft can be derived by linearisation of its non-linear and coupling dynamics. The most common linear controllers applied to helicopters are Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) and Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR) ones [8][9][10]. When operation ranges go away from the hovering point, the performance of linear controllers degrades significantly. ...
