Wall-contact sliding control strategy for a 2D caged quadrotor

Dario Floreano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Pu Bai

This paper addresses the trajectory tracking problem of a 2D caged flying robot in contact with a wall. To simplify the contact problem, the models are constructed on a vertical two-dimensional plane, and our objective is to let the quadrotor hover or move ...
