The chapter focuses on the experimentation setup and implementation of the fractional controller on the nonlinear quadrotor aircraft. Firstly, the mathematical model of a quadrotor is derived, which is more suitable for acrobatic manoeuvring. In order to handle such an unstable system, a fraction PI (PI\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$^\lambda $$\end{document}) was designed and implemented for x, y, z and yaw movements of the quadrotor aircraft. Detailed simulation results are presented to test the controller. Moreover, the information is provided on configuring hardware for real-time experimentation. A method is verified using the designed controller on the quadrotor in MATLAB Simulink and parrot rolling spider minidrone. Finally, the hardware results are analysed and present interesting applications of fractional-order control.
