in this paper, a nonlinear model of the underactuated six degrees of freedom (6 dof) quadrotor helicopter was derived based on the newton-euler formalism. a new nonlinear robust control strategy was proposed to solve the stabilizing and path following problems in presence of external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. the proposed control structure consist of a sliding mode control base...
