PX4 Simulation Results of a Quadcopter with a Disturbance-Observer-Based and PSO-Optimized Sliding Mode Surface Controller

This work designed a disturbance-observer-based nonlinear sliding mode surface controller (SMC) and validated the controller using a simulated PX4-conducted quadcopter. To achieve this goal, this research (1) developed a dynamic mathematical model; (2) built a PX4-based simulated UAV following the m...
