A generalized Frame Adaptive MPC for the low-level control of UAVs

Autor: George Nikolakopoulos, Emil Fresk

Publikováno v: ECC

The aim of this article is to establish an adaptiveModel Predictive Control (MPC) scheme for the angular rate and thrust control of a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The proposed model adaptiveness comes from estimating the movement of the
