This work uses the intermediary quaternions in the design of a backstepping control technique with integral properties in order to perform an autonomous trajectory tracking using a quadcopter vehicle. Nowadays, in order to determine the orientation of a vehicle, most of the inertial systems of aircrafts can give directly the rotation matrix and taking advantage of this fact, the intermediary quaternions...
In the present work, an adaptive backstepping algorithm is developed in order to counteract the effects of disturbances. These disturbances are modeled as a constant force in the translational model part and as a constant torque in the orientation model part. We make the deduction of the mathematical expression for the proposed control algorithm and also we show its performance in simulation. Additionally,...
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) stabilization strategy based on computer vision and switching controllers is proposed. The main goal of this system is to perform tracking of a moving target on ground. The architecture implemented consists of a quadrotor equipped with an embedded camera which provides real-time video to a computer vision algorithm where images are processed. A vision-based estimator...
