From Hover to Horizon: Mastering Drone Control in MATLAB

Register for IROS 2024 and join the tutorial section “From Hover to Horizon: Mastering Drone Control in MATLAB.” This tutorial will deep dive into the design and tuning of control systems for drones, with a focus on both multirotor and fixed-wing types, using MATLAB and Simulink. By broadening the scope from VTOL UAVs to encompass drones in general, participants will explore a wide array of control challenges and solutions applicable to various drone configurations. The session will guide attendees through a structured approach using a MATLAB project reference application template, covering the fundamentals of drone behavior, control system design, tuning strategies for different flight modes, and deployment to hardware for real-world application.​

This tutorial targets a broad audience, including engineers, researchers, and students. While a foundational understanding of control theory and familiarity with MATLAB and Simulink are advantageous, the session is designed to accommodate a range of expertise levels.​
