Abstract

One problem with the outdoor flight operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is to overcome external wind disturbances. In this paper, a robust backstepping controller based on the input-to-state stability (ISS) theory and a super twisting sliding mode controller are proposed to be applied to a tandem rotor UAV for tracking a trajectory in the presence of external wind disturbances. The performances of the two controllers proposed in this paper are demonstrated by comparing with that of a robust backstepping controller developed in an early research through a numerical simulation.
