Today’s technology allows people to remotely control and monitor many systems. In these technological systems, robots or unmanned vehicles are generally used, which are controlled remotely without human interaction. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which does not have a pilot on it, is one of the unmanned vehicles capable of flying either remotely or automatically. UAVs are among the systems that are used in many fields for military, civil, and academic purposes and are constantly developing in parallel with the advancement of technology. One of the biggest problems of UAVs that are effectively used in many areas is undoubtedly flight times. To overcome this situation, charging stations are used and allow the UAV batteries to be charged without human intervention. In this article, a review study about the charging stations developed for charging batteries used in UAVs has been made. In this study, the findings obtained as a result of literature research on charging stations were analyzed and the performances of charging stations were compared. The main purpose of this review study is to guide people who will develop a charging station for rotary-wing UAVs by providing a preliminary research opportunity and to help choose one of the wired or wireless charging stations according to the needs in the applications to be developed.

Advances in software and hardware technologies have facilitated the production of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Quadrotor UAVs are used in important missions such as search and rescue, counter terrorism, firefighting, surveillance and cargo transportation. While performing these tasks, quadrotors must operate in noisy environments. Therefore, a robust controller design that can control the altitude and attitude of the quadrotor in noisy environments is of great importance. While many researchers focus only on white Gaussian noise in their studies, all colored noises should be considered during quadrotor's operation. In this study, it is aimed to design a robust controller that is resistant to all colored noises. Firstly, a nonlinear model of the quadrotor was created with MATLAB. Then, a backstepping control design that is resistant to colored noises was realized. The designed backstepping controller was tested under Gaussian white noise, pink noise, brown noise, blue noise and purple noise. PID and Lyapunovbased controller designs were also carried out and their time responses (rise time, overshoot, settling time) were compared with those of backstepping controller. When the values obtained was examined, it was proven that the proposed backstepping controller had the least overshoot and shortest settling time under all noise types.
