Conf. on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS'2013 %P 2439-2444 %C Tokyo, Japan %X In this paper, an adaptive trajectory tracking controller for quadrotor MAVs is presented. The controller exploits the common assumption of a faster orientation dy- namics w.r.t. the translational one, and is able to asymptotically compensate for parametric uncertainties (e.g., displaced center of mass), as well as external disturbances (e.g., wind). The good performance of the proposed controller is then demonstrated by means of an extensive experimental evaluation performed with a commercially-available quadrotor MAV %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2013_iros_antonelli.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/IROS.2013.6696699 %8 November %D 2013
