New Insights into Cascaded Geometric Flight Control: From Performance Guarantees to Practical Pitfalls
We present a new stability proof for cascaded geometric control used by aerial vehicles tracking time-varying position trajectories. Our approach uses sliding variables and a recently proposed quaternion-based sliding controller to demonstrate that exponentially convergent position trajectory tracking is theoretically possible. Notably, our analysis reveals new aspects of the control strategy, including how tracking error in the attitude loop influences the position loop, how model uncertainties affect the closed-loop system, and the practical pitfalls of the control architecture.
