Eliminating intersample ripples in UAV control systems—a novel hybrid approach. This paper introduces a new solution for designing robust, ripple-free hybrid regulators, ensuring smooth control even with limited communication frequencies. It presents a structurally stable regulation approach within a hybrid framework, specifically applied to the nonlinear model of a quadrotor UAV. The increasing importance of UAVs in various applications necessitates effective control strategies, especially when communication is restricted or long-range. The proposed controller addresses this challenge, offering improved tracking performance for reference signals. Demonstrated through a quadrotor application, this research has implications for enhancing the reliability and precision of UAV control systems in demanding environments.
