One of the most popular vehicles is the quadrotor helicopter. Quadrotor helicopters have the advantage of hovering, vertical landing and taking-off with high maneuverability. Contrary to fixed wing aircraft control, it is difficult to design a decoupled control law that stabilizes the quadrotor dynamics due to the strong coupling between the roll, pitch and yaw nonlinear dynamics in addition to the rotor dynamics. Therefore many researchers have focused on designing multiple-input multiple-output nonlinear controllers that guarantee the quadrotor&#8217;s stability and improved performance during flight.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ramyrashad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Quadrotor_model-1024x711.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-565\" width=\"730\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ramyrashad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Quadrotor_model-1024x711.png 1024w, https:\/\/ramyrashad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Quadrotor_model-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/ramyrashad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Quadrotor_model-768x533.png 768w, https:\/\/ramyrashad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Quadrotor_model-1536x1066.png 1536w, https:\/\/ramyrashad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Quadrotor_model-2048x1422.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In this line of work, we used the quadrotor dynamic model as a case study for the development of disturbance observer-based nonlinear control systems to stabilize the quadrotor dynamics in the presence of matched and\/or mismatched disturbances.
