摘要

This paper studies the application of a fast inner-loop controller on top of a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) to increase tracking performances of aerial robots in presence of disturbances and model mismatches. We investigate the use of Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) and Time Delay Control (TDC), discussing their close relations. Finally, a TDC formulation is developed as inner tracking loop running at 1 kHz, and applied to a NMPC. Close-to-real simulations with a fully-actuated hexarotor demonstrates the effectiveness of the inner-loop control and its main drawbacks in presence of input saturation.
