Abstract
In this paper, we present a control design for the tele-operation of a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle known as an X4-Flyer. A simple dynamic non-linear model for the vehicle, valid for quasi-stationary flight conditions, is derived as a basis for the control design. To ensure the vehicle remains in the quasi-stationary flight regime the controller incorporates saturation constraints on the closed-loop system velocity. The proposed control design, based on control Lyapunov function analysis, is simple, robust and can easily be implemented on board the experimental vehicle. Experimental results are provided that validate the performance of the closed-loop system.
