udaan

A collection of simulation and control scripts written/developed as part of my thesis, Dynamics and Control for Collaborative Aerial Manipulation.

This package contains mathematical models for quadrotor(s) with suspended payload(s) and controllers for the same. Models are either written manually or modeled using pybullet or mujoco simulators.

Models

Name	Remarks
Quadrotor	Geometric control on SE(3): paper, code MPC on variation linearized dynamics [3]. TODO
Quadrotor Comparison	Geometric L1 Adaptive control on SO(3) [2]. TODO
Quadrotor with Cable Suspended Payload	Geometric control on SE(3)xS2. [4] MPC on variation linearized dynamics [5]. TODO
