Linear and nonlinear control design for a quadrotor

Abstract
In the current study, the quadrotor's nonlinear dynamic model is developed using the Newton-Euler approach. Following that, several nonlinear and linear control strategies for tracking the quadrotor's trajectory are applied. First, by employing distinct controllers for each output variable, direct application of the linear proportional integral derivative (PID) controller to the nonlinear system is realized. This system may also be linearized about an operational point to generate linear controllers, according to the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) demonstration. Nevertheless, in practice, the system dynamics may not always be accurately reflected by this linear approximation and may even be relatively wasteful. Nonlinear regulators, including the feedback linearization (FBL) controller, sliding mode controller (SMC), and modified sliding mode controller (MSMC), perform better in such situations. The trajectory tracking capabilities, dynamic performance, and potential disruption impact of both methods are evaluated and compared. The FBL with LQR was the best controller among them all. The SMC and the MSMC were also very good in tracking the trajectory.
