Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (QUAV) is a member of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) family. The QUAVs have vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities and high maneuverability. Hence, these are being widely used for applications like logistics, defense, surveillance, etc. Accurate trajectory tracking of the QUAV is an important aspect for several critical applications like commercial package delivery, surveillance, military operations, and infrastructure inspection. However, still, there are plenty of scopes for improvement in trajectory tracking methods. In this work, a PD/PI/PID-based trajectory tracking control strategy is used, while Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to tune the PD/PI/PID controller for obtaining the optimal controller gains. The simulation results show that the controller is capable of tracking the desired trajectories (e.g. spiral, circular and helical) efficiently.
