Model predictive control based reference point tracking of quad-rotor UAV in prevalence of disturbance

Abstract

This paper presents an accomplishment of reference point tracking with the help of Model predictive control (MPC). The foremost concern is based upon predicting the performance of the system in occurrence of unknown disturbances and also reveals the effectiveness for the disturbance problem on Quad-rotor type Unamnned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), while tracking to its reference point. MPC performance and its effectiveness are verified through simulations on MATLAB.
