Analysis and Control of a Planar Quadrotor (2106.15134v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we model the planar motion of a quadcopter, and develop a linear model of the same. We perform stability analysis of the open loop system and develop a PD controller for its position control. We compare the closed loop response between the linear and non linear systems using the controller developed for the linear system. We also perform stability analysis for the linear and non linear systems, and compare the PD controller with modern deep neural methods based on reinforcement learning actor-critic networks.
