  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a new adaptive neural network control to stabilize a quadrotor helicopter against modeling error and considerable wind disturbance. The new method is compared to both deadzone and e-modification adaptive techniques and through simulation demonstrates a clear improvement in terms of achieving a desired attitude and reducing weight drift.
