Abstract

In this paper, an optimal finite discrete-time linear quadratic tracking (LQT) control method is proposed to control the altitude and attitude of a quadrotor. First, the dynamic model of the quadrotor is derived using Newton-Euler equations. Next, non-linear equations of the quadrotor are written in the state space form and linearized around an equilibrium point. Then, continuous-time linear state-space equations are converted into discrete-time equations considering a specific sampling time. Moreover, the controller design process is completed by determining the performance index and the weighting matrices, and the optimal control input is acquired for the closed-loop system. In the end, the simulation results are shown to demonstrate the robustness of the controller against parameter uncertainties and show its performance in attenuating the external disturbance effect.
