Abstract
A control strategy is proposed here for four-rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial robot called X4-flyer. Since the X4-flyer has underactuated and nonholonomic features, a kinematics control law is first derived using Astolfi's discontinuous control. A backstepping method that is one of adaptive control methods based on Lyapunov methods, then provides the kinematic based inputs, to construct the torque control of X4-flyer. Finally, computer simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
