Attitude control of drones by back-stepping controller

The drones are used for many purposes such as structure inspections, pesticide sprayings, photographys, load carriages and investigations in the world. The drones have a week point that it is difficult to fly them in the strong wind. However, it is an important task to fly in the strong wind for the disaster relieves. In this paper, we show the modeling and the attitude control system design of a drone by using a back-stepping controller, and good performances are shown in simulations.
