Finite time position and heading tracking control of coaxial octorotor based on extended inverse multi-quadratic radial basis function network and external disturbance observer

In this work, finite time position and heading control based on backstepping based fast terminal sliding mode control is proposed for coaxial octorotor subjected to external wind disturbances. First, mathematical model of the coaxial octorotor is developed and then a new learning-based technique, an extended inverse multi-quadratic radial basis function network (EIMRBFN) is proposed to estimate the unmodeled dynamics of the octorotor. The...
