Attitude control of a quadrotor aircraft using LQR state feedback controller with full order state observer

This paper presents an attitude control scheme that can track the desired Euler angle trajectories. The proposed controller is based on an optimization technique designed in the discrete time domain. All state variables are estimated using a full-order state observer. The simulation results show tracking performance of the designed controller compared with a classical PD controller.
