## Trajectory tracking and stabilization of a quadrotor using model predictive control of Laguerre functions.(English)Zbl 1342.93052

Summary: This paper presents a solution to stability and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor system using a model predictive controller designed using a type of orthonormal functions called Laguerre functions. A linear model of the quadrotor is derived and used. To check the performance of the controller we compare it with a linear quadratic regulator and a more traditional linear state space MPC. Simulations for trajectory tracking and stability are performed in MATLAB and results provided in this paper.
