Abstract:Abstract-A switching controller for vertical take off and landing (VTOL) vehicle is presented. Since the entire system belongs to a class of underactuated systems, it is decomposed in to three fully-actuated subsystems. Then, a set of constraints on the rotor speeds are given to cancel out some nonlinearities in input, hence ensure to obtain an affine in control dynamics that enables us to derive local feedback linearizing controllers and together with some associated Lyapunov functions. Finally, a controller … Show more
