Abstract:

Quadrotor systems are becoming increasingly popular in various applications due to their manoeuvrability and versatility. Controlling these systems accurately is crucial to ensure stability and safety. To guarantee stability and safety, precise control of these systems is essential. The application of two sophisticated controllers with integer and fractional order quadrotor systems is suggested in this research study. Improving the quadrotor system's control performance, robustness, and accuracy is the objective of the study. The researchers validated the efficacy of their approach with MATLAB simulation studies. Results show that the fractional order quadrotor system performs better in terms of control performance, robustness, and accuracy when Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and Fractional Order Sliding Mode Control (FOSMC) are implemented. The overall results of the research demonstrate how fractional order modelling and control strategies can be used to enhance quadrotor system performance, which has considerable implications for the development of contemporary control engineering.
