Modeling and Control for an Aerial Work Quadrotor with a Robotic Arm by Wenwu Zhu, Fanzeng Wu, Haibo Du, Lei Li, Yao Zhang

“…Finally, comparative simulations with the integral sliding mode controller (ISMC), sliding mode controller (SMC), and PID controller demonstrate that the proposed algorithm reduces the regulation time by more than 45% compared to ISMC and SMC, and decreases the overshoot by at least 68% compared to the PID controller, which improves the convergence performance and disturbance rejection capability of the closed-loop system.…”
