Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unstable nonlinear control system. Therefore, the development of a high performance controller for such a multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system is important. The backstepping controller (BC) has been successfully applied to control a variety of nonl...
