In this article, a robust control algorithm using sliding modes is proposed for the efficient regulation on the trajectory tracking tasks, in the nonlinear, multivariable, quadrotor system model, that ensures the asymptotic convergence to a desired trajectory (reference signal - r(t)) in presence of all possible uncertainties and external disturbances. A smooth piecewise continuous function trajectory is proposed where the corresponding derivatives are bounded. Furthermore, we assume that the disturbances on the vehicle are bounded and the signal r(t) are available on line. The proposed algorithm employs a sliding surface based on the errors generated from the current state of the path in order to reach the desired reference r(t). The stability analysis of the closed-loop control system is proven via the use of Lyapunov theory. Finally, a numerical simulation of tracking a smooth trajectory is performed to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed robust algorithm in presence of disturbances onto the vehicle.
