This paper presents a novel transfer learning algorithm to achieve high-performance trajectory tracking with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The authors exploit an existing Iterative Learning Control (ILC) algorithm based on the notion that the performance of a system that executes the same task multiple times can be improved by learning from previous executions. However, the learning phase needed to apply such technique is related to each specific system, thus making the application of ILC poorly scalable. To overcome this limitation, the authors propose an H∞-optimisation-based definition of a dynamical transfer map that allows transforming the input signal learnt on a source system to the input signal needed for a target system to execute the same task. A Monte Carlo analysis has been carried out with the aim of showing the performance improvements due to the transfer knowledge. Finally, the proposed approach has been validated through experimental activities involving two different-scale quadrotors performing an aggressive manoeuvre.
