Abstract
In this paper, the attitude of a quadrotor system is controlled by a time-delayed control method which uses the previous information to cancel out uncertainties in the system. Although the linear controller works for the attitude control, the robust performance against disturbance is relatively poor. Therefore, a time-delayed controller as a robust controller is used. Experimental studies are conducted to validate the performance by the time-delayed control method. The performances of both a linear controller and a time-delayed controller are compared.
