Adaptive fuzzy-sliding mode controller for trajectory tracking control of quad-rotor

This paper deals with the design of an adaptive-fuzzy-PD-Sliding mode controller to achieve stabilization of a quadrotor aircraft in the presence of wind disturbance. Firstly, the dynamic system modeling is carried out using Euler-Lagrange formalism. Then, an adaptive PD-sliding mode control system with an integral-operation switching surface is investigated for quadrotor desired trajectory tracking. Finally, an adaptive fuzzy-PD-sliding mode controller is proposed to achieve control objectives and system stabilization where the fuzzy logic system used to dynamically control parameters settings of the PD-sliding mode equivalent control law. Effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme is verified through simulation results taking into account external disturbances. The simulation results of a quadrotor aircraft control with the proposed controller demonstrate the high performance during flight such as null tracking error and robustness in the presence of external disturbances.
