Abstract:This work proposes an Input-Output linearization (IOL) trajectory tracking controller for an actuated octocopter UAV. The underactuated 
octocopter dynamics is converted into actuated one using the differential flat outputs. The proposed controller for actuated octocopter UAV is 
robustified using α Uncertainty and Disturbance Estimator (αUDE). The Lyapunov theory is used to ascertain closed-loop stability in achieving the desired trajectory. A comparative study is carried out to show the bette… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
