Cascade attitude control of a quadcopter in presence of motor asymmetry

TL;DR: In this study, the problem of UAV attitude control is investigated when there are discrepancies in the characteristics of the 4 actuators, i.e., electrical motors and propellers, and a cascade control strategy is proposed with a PD controller in the inner loop to achieve stabilization, and PI controllers in the outer loop to ensure disturbance rejection.
