Abstract

The paper solves the trajectory tracking control problem for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) when both the kinematics and dynamics effects are intertwined in the mathematical model. Using the backstepping method we establish a controller for the considered model that ensures exponential convergence to a given reference trajectory. Then, using the concept of virtual vehicles we consider the application of the proposed controller for a group of UAVs in formation flights.
