Sliding Mode Control-Based Modeling and Simulation of a Quadcopter

This article discusses the use of Sliding Mode Control (SMC) for control a four-rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The Newton-Euler method is utilized to build quadcopter's dynamic model. model divided into under-actuated fully actuated subsystems. Even though controlling UAVs difficult owing their extremely nonlinear characteristics, previous experimental trials simulation studies have proved that sliding mode controller yields satisfactory performance disturbance tolerance. contribution this study presenting an accurate quadcopter modeling employing formula reduce chattering. In study, SMC was used altitude attitude quadcopter. MATLAB/Simulink show model, result illustrating controller's in different conditions acquired.
