| description | Gradually, it has become easier to use aerial transportation systems in practical applications. However, due to the fixed-length wire, recent studies on load-suspended transportation systems have revealed some practical constraints, especially when using quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). By actively adjusting the distance between the quadrotor and the payload, it becomes possible to carry out a variety of challenging tasks, including traversing confined spaces, collecting samples from offshore locations, and even landing a payload on a movable platform. Thus, mass variable aerial transportation systems should be equipped with trajectory tracking control mechanisms to accomplish these tasks. Due to the above-mentioned reasons, the present paper addresses the problem of the altitude/yaw tracking control of a mini-quadrotor subject to mass uncertainties. The main objective of this paper is to design a fixed-time stable controller for the perturbed altitude/yaw motions, based on recent results using the fixed-time stability approach. For comparison reasons, other quadrotor motion controllers such as dual proportional integral derivative (PID) loops were considered. To show its effectiveness, the proposed fixed-time controller was validated on a real mini-quadrotor under different scenarios and has shown good performance in terms of stability and trajectory tracking. |
