Zusammenfassung:This paper deals with the design and implementation of a nonlinear control algorithm for the attitude tracking of a four-rotor helicopter known as quadrotor. This algorithm is based on the second order sliding mode technique known as Super-Twisting Algorithm (STA) which is able to ensure robustness with respect to bounded external disturbances. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller, experimental tests were carried out on a real quadrotor. The obtained results show the good performance of the proposed controller in terms of stabilization, tracking and robustness with respect to external disturbances.
