Abstract
In this paper, we present a comparison of three control techniques: Nested Saturations, Backstepping and Sliding Modes. The control objective consists of obtaining the best control strategy to stabilize the position of a quad-rotor when using visual feedback. We propose a method to measure translational speed as well as the UAV 3D position in a local frame. The selected controllers were implemented and tested in real-time experiments. The obtained results demonstrate the performance of such methodologies applied to the quad-rotor system.

Modeling and Analysis of Quad-Rotor Aircraft Based on Kane Method

TL;DR: Aiming at the Four-rotor aircraft with complex dynamic characteristics, the Kane method is proposed to derive the mechanical model of the aircraft and it is concluded that one of the main reasons for thenon-linearity of aircraft is the non-linearization of kinematics equation.
