Adaptive Robust Constraint-Based Nonlinear Control for Trajectory Tracking and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance in Multi-copter UAVs
Abstract: An adaptive robust nonlinear control system for multi-copter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance is presented in this research. The suggested approach addresses nonlinear dynamics and environmental uncertainties by combining adaptive disturbance estimates with constraint-based control. Nonlinear differential equations are used to simulate the motion of the UAV, with obstacle avoidance represented as an inequality constraint and trajectory tracking as an equality constraint. The Udwadia–Kalaba method is …
