A decoupling control for quadrotor UAV using dynamic surface control and sliding mode disturbance observer

This paper proposes a decoupling tracking controller for quadrotors using dynamic surface control (DSC) and second-order sliding mode disturbance observer (SMDO). The DSC used in this paper is improved with the sliding mode differentiators that replace the original low-pass filter, and the SMDO is utilized to restrain the influence of system uncertainties and external disturbances. In addition, instead of the roll attitude angle ($$\varphi $$φ) and pitch attitude angle ($$\theta $$θ), applying $$\sin {\varphi }$$sinφ and $$\sin {\theta }$$sinθ as control variables simplifies the analysis of stability. Moreover, a fuzzy logic-based method is utilized to compensate the influence of battery voltage changing during the procedure of thrust generation. The asymptotic tracking property of the closed-loop system is proven via the Lyapunov-based stability theory. Finally, the real-time experiment results, which contain a hovering case and rectangular path tracking case, are given to validate the practicability of the proposed method.
