The recent development of unmanned aerial vehicle flight control creates a strong demand for higher control accuracy and control quality. To meet such demands, we propose a nonlinear control strategy for path tracking control of quad-rotor miniature unmanned aerial vehicles(MAVs). Firstly, based on Newton-Euler's laws, the nonlinear mathematical model of a quad-rotor MAV is built in singular perturbation form. By singular perturbation theory and time-scaling techniques, we decouple the system into the fast ...

1 IntroductionRecent advances in the investigation of unmannedvehicles have led to enormous exciting developments,particularly,with the platform of quad-rotor minia-ture unmanned aerial vehicles(MAVs).As opposedto fixed wing vehicles,the quad-rotor MAV is
