Abstract
The attitude control of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is investigated. The aim of this paper is to develop a continuous multivariable attitude control law, which drives the attitude tracking errors of quadrotor UAV to zero in finite time. First, a multivariable super-twisting-like algorithm (STLA) is proposed for arbitrary order integrator systems subject to matched disturbances. A discontinuous integral term is incorporated in the control law in order to compensate the disturbances. A rigorous proof of the finite time stability of the close-loop system is derived by utilizing the Lyapunov method and the homogeneous technique. Then, the implementation of the developed method in an indoor quadrotor UAV is performed. The remarkable features of the developed algorithm includes the finite time convergence, the chattering suppression and the nominal performance recovery. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by numerical simulations and experimental verification.
