Robust Nonlinear Observer-based Adaptive Visual Servo Control for a Multirotor

In this article, an robust nonlinear observer-based visual servo adaptive control strategy is investigated for a multirotor for stable tracking of targets. This article uses the Newton Euler equation to model the dynamics of the multirotor and describes the visual servo system model. In order to avoid being affected by various disturbances, this article designs disturbance observer and velocity observer to improve the robustness of the system. Based on nonlinear observers, this article designs a layered controller that includes a visual outer loop controller and an adaptive sliding mode geometric inner loop controller. To verify the feasibility of this algorithm, this article conducts simulation experiments using MATLAB and Simulink, and adds constant disturbances for verification. Both simulation experiments and experimental results in real environments show that the controller we designs has excellent stability and robustness.
