Dynamic modelling and swing control of a quadrotor with a cable-suspended payload

A quadrotor is a highly nonlinear system due to the presence of aerodynamic factors such as Coriolis and gyroscopic effects when in flight. In meeting todays’ demands, the applications of quadrotors have been extended to include transportation and therefore, the study of Quadrotor Suspended Load (QS...
