Dynamic Inversion-Enhanced U-Control of Quadrotor Trajectory Tracking

This study proposes a universal (U)-control enhanced with dynamic inversion for a class of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) quadrotor flight tracking operations. In the technique, a robust compensator is integrated with the U-controller to achieve stabilisation at the equilibrium and setpoint tracking in the presence of any unmodelled uncertainties and external disturbances. A series of bench tests of simulated and real experiments on a Parrot Mambo quadrotor are conducted to show the design framework from the academic formulation to Simulink simulation and real flight tests.
