%0 Journal Article %T Sliding Mode-Based Control of a UAV Quadrotor for Suppressing the Cable-Suspended Payload Vibration %A Kusznir %A Tom %A Smoczek %A Jaroslaw %J - %D 2020 %R https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/5058039 %X This paper addresses the problem of damping vibrations of a cable-suspended payload during positioning of the quadrotor. A nonlinear model is derived for the coupled quadrotor-pendulum system in the X-Z plane using Euler¨CLagrange formulation. Sliding mode control (SMC) is used for horizontal positioning and payload vibration damping, while a feedback linearizing controller is used for both altitude and attitude control. The SMC surface parameters are determined by placing the eigenvalues of the linearized system at a desired position. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control method in minimizing payload vibration by comparing it with a partial feedback linearizing controller and a ZVDD input shaper %U https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jcse/2020/5058039/
