Abstract :
This paper presents modeling and stabilization of an octa-copter which can carry heavier payload than a quadrotor. We explain the method for obtaining desired motor speed of the octa-copter using a simple assumption. By employing adaptive sliding mode control, the uncertainty for the octa-rotor such as modeling error and unknown ground effects is resolved. Experimental results from hovering flight tests are validated using the flight tests with vicon system.
