Event-Triggered Attitude Stabilization of a Quadcopter

Abstract: There are many possible ways to perform the attitude control of a quadcopter and, recently, the subject of event-triggered control has become relevant in the scientic community. This thesis deals with the analysis and implementation of a saturating attitude controller for a quadcopter system, together with the derivation of an event-triggering rule to work with it. Two distinct rules are presented, one that ensures the stability of the closed loop system, the other, a linearised version that does not. The way those were derived consists in the use of a Lyapunov based approach. The stability of the system when under these rules was veried experimentally.
