Abstract :
This paper proposes a control strategy for the quadrotor helicopter based on the Total Energy Control System (TECS) approach. Assuming that the rotational dynamics control loop is faster than the translational dynamics control loop, a TECS based control strategy is designed for the translational dynamics. The performance of the proposed control strategy is verified experimentally.
