A brief video showing Zhenkai flying the quadrotor on Peabody campus at Vanderbilt. The quadrotor UAV was being controlled in GPS and height controlled mode.
(Under review in IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology: “A Backstepping Control Framework for Networked Control of m-Triangular Systems”) m-Triangular Systems are dynamical physical systems which can be described by m triangular subsystem models. Many physical system models such as those which describe fixed-wing and quadrotor aircraft can be realized as m-Triangular Systems. However, many control engineers try to fit their dynamical model into a 1-Triangular System model.
