Abstract

This paper addresses a new attitude controller of quadrotor UAV in the presence of parameters uncertainty and bounded external disturbances. Based on the attitude dynamic model considering parameters uncertainty and bounded external disturbances. Applying backstepping approach, an adaptive nonsmooth attitude controller is developed by integrating nonsmooth control and adaptive control techniques. And the design procedure and stability analysis of the closed-loop system is detailed. Finally, via some simulation results and comparisons, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method are illustrated.
