The model of a quadrotor is nonlinear and dynamically unstable due to the high level of system nonlinearity and external disturbances. In this paper a robust second order sliding mode controller has been proposed for altitude tracking of a quadrotor. The controller is derived using Lyapunov stability approach and proved theoretically asymptotic stability. The performance of proposed control method...
