Abstract

In the paper "Control Design for UAV Quadrotors via Embedded Model Control" [1], the authors designed a complete control unit for a UAV Quadrotor, based on the Embedded Model Control (EMC) methodology, in combination with the Feedback Linearization (FL); when applied to non-linear systems. Specifically, [1] proposes to use the FL as a novel way to design the internal model for the EMC state and disturbance predictor. To support the treatise in [1], in this report the feedback-linearized model of the UAV quadrotor leveraged in [1] is step-by-step derived.
