ANALISI E CONTROLLO DI UN QUADRICOTTERO SOGGETTO A VENTO LATERALE LUNGO UNA TRAIETTORIA CURVILINEA

This thesis aims at studying a quadrotor’s model and testing its control in various conditions of lateral wind. In the first part, after a functional introduction to trace the development of drones and of their physical components, an insight on the dynamical analysis and the elaboration of a quadrotor model is provided. In the second part, the simulations’ results in Matlab and Simulink environment are supplied in different meteorological conditions: with or without the presence of lateral wind. The final part is aimed at discussing results and possible future developments of the work carried out.
