Control of Multiple Quad-Copters With a Cable-Suspended Payload Subject to Disturbances

Abstract

In this article, a new control scheme is proposed to enable multiple quad-copters to cooperatively carry a cable-suspended payload. This cascaded controller takes into account the quad-copters underactuation and exploits the energetic passivity of the payload-cables-drones multibody system to achieve stable control. The controller is simple and requires no information about the cables tensions. A storage function inspired by the mechanical …
