Abstract

The state of a multicopter may not be measured directly by existing sensors. For example, since the speed of a multicopter is very low, its accurate value is difficult to be measured directly.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The derivative is a column vector rather than a row vector. This is consistent with [7, pp. 21–23]. On the other hand, the vector derivative with respect to a vector is a Jacobian matrix (See Eq. (8.18)).
