Abstract
Research on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been quite active in robotics and control communities. Most of UAVs have been utilized for military missions in war zones. Recently, quad-rotor systems as one of UAVs are getting more attention in civilian applications since they have an omni directional movement capability and their control is relatively simple. In this paper, the Cartesian trajectory control of a quad-rotor system is presented along with attitude control. In order for a quad-rotor to perform the Cartesian position control task, global positioning sensors are required to locate the position. Here we are using a camera as a global sensor. Simulation and experimental studies are performed to test the feasibility of the proposed control method.
