A review of quadrotor control methods

Abstract

Quadrotor play an increasingly important role in emergency rescue and other comparable missions. However, external disturbances such as wind gusts and turbulence have a great impact on the stability of quadrotor, which means the control system of the vehicle needs to have a strong capability of anti- disturbance. This paper discuss the latest research on quadrotor control methods, and analyzes their characteristics and application. Traditional methods are improved and enhanced in order to attain better control performance. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence and hybrid control methods have garnered extensive research in the realm of quadrotor.
