“…The proposed control strategy is divided into into three subcontrollers: ADIFTSMC for altitude control, RBFNNBC for horizontal position control, and FDOBNFTSMC for rotational angle control. The main contributions of the proposed method are presented as follows 1) Contrary to [37]- [43], [45] where the quadrotor control design is divided into two subcontrollers, we divided the proposed control scheme into three subcontrollers: the altitude, the horizontal position and the attitude controllers. 2) Unlike the adaptive NFTSMC [33], ADRC [38], backstepping FTSMC [40], RISE [44], backstepping SMC [45] implemented for the attitude control, in this paper, a backstepping is combined with NFTSMC and FDO (FDONFTSMC) to control the attitude angles.…”
