This thesis addresses the problems of design and control of small cooperative unmanned autonomous quadrotor aerial vehicles. A new approach is proposed, for the modeling of the system’s dynamics using linearized Piecewise AffineModels. The Piecewise Affine dynamic–models cover a large part of the qu...
