Abstract

This study establishes controllers for achieving trajectory tracking for the kinematic models of unmanned aerial vehicles subject to bounded inputs and windy conditions with additive perturbations. The proposed control scheme allows the application of smooth hyperbolic functions which satisfy physical conditions and input restrictions and can easily be realized. Various examples and simulation demonstrations (including Google Earth toolbox application) along with discussions about the obtained results are presented.
