In the face of external disturbances affecting the trajectory tracking of quadrotors, a control scheme targeted at accurate position and attitude trajectory tracking was designed. Initially, a quadrotor dynamic model, essential for control design, was derived. Adaptive integral backstepping control (AIBS) was then employed within the position loop, enabling the upper boundaries of disturbances to be estimated through adaptive estimation. Subsequently, a new adaptive backstepping fast nonsingular integral terminal sliding mode control (ABFNITSM) was proposed to enable adherence to the desired Euler angles. Rapid convergence and accurate tracking were facilitated by the incorporation of the nonsingular terminal sliding mode and an integral component. The dead zone technique was deployed to curtail estimation errors, while a saturation function was used to eradicate the phenomenon of chattering. Finally, to validate the proposed control scheme, simulation experiments were conducted in the Simulink environment, and the results were contrasted with those obtained from traditional integral terminal sliding mode control (ITSM) and integral backstepping control (IBS), providing evidence of the effectiveness of the proposed method.

To address the trajectory tracking issue for quadrotors working under the influence of external disturbances, a control scheme is designed for position and attitude trajectory tracking. Firstly, the quadrotor dynamic model is derived for control design. Secondly, adaptive integral backstepping control (AIBS) is employed in the position loop in which adaptive estimation is used to estimate the upper bounds of disturbances. Subsequently, a new adaptive backstepping fast nonsingular integral terminal sliding mode control (ABFNITSM) is proposed to follow desired Euler angles. The intro-duction of fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode and integral element is to realize fast convergence and accurate tracking. Dead zone technique is applied to minimize estimation errors. Besides, a saturation function is utilized to eliminate chattering phenomenon. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted under the Simulink environment. The proposed control is verified by comparing it with traditional integral terminal sliding mode control (ITSM) and integral backstepping control (IBS).
