This chapter presents an overview of the rigid body dynamics of a quadrotor as well as several controllers for the quadrotor. First, the Newton-Euler equations of motion that govern the quadrotor motion are described, and it is shown that the quadrotor model is differentially flat. Next, two controllers for the quadrotor are presented. The first is a linear controller based on a linearized model of the dynamics. The second is a nonlinear controller derived from the original dynamic model. The architecture of the GRASP quadrotor testbed at the University of Pennsylvania is also presented. Finally, experimental results which illustrate the dynamics and control of small quadrotors are presented.
