Flight Control
The goal of this section is to provide an overview and intuitive introduction on the basic concepts of flight control for aerial robotics. Flight control strategies and algorithms aim to ensure the desired stability characteristics of the aerial vehicle, shape and adjust its dynamic response in terms of performance and robustness against disturbances, and ensure that the desired flight trajectories are accurately tracked.
A wide variety of techniques exist for flight controls, each of them having specific advantages and disadvantages. Due to their critical role, flight controls corresponds to one of the most important research fields in aviation and aerial robotics. Within this course, an introduction of very basic and fundamental methods is provided. More specifically, this section contains the following subsections:
