Actuator Constrained Trajectory Generation and Control for Variable-Pitch Quadrotors

Control and trajectory generation algorithms for a quadrotor helicopter with variable-pitch propellers are presented. The control law is not based on near-hover assumptions, allowing for large attitude deviations from hover. The trajectory generation algorithm ts a time-parametrized polynomial thr...
