The quadrotor helicopter is designed to easily move in particular environments because it can take off and land in limited space and easily hover at a fixed location. For this reason, a robust adaptive sliding mode controller is developed to control of a quadrotor helicopter in the presence of external disturbances and parameter uncertainties. The quadrotor helicopter system is a typical underactuated system, which has fewer independent control actuators than degrees of freedom to be controlled. The main contribution here is to afford simulation and verification for the quadrotor helicopter flight controller under the assumption of unknown parameters. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theorem, we can achieve asymptotic tracking of desired reference commands for the quadrotor helicopter, which is subject to both external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. From the simulation results, the controller was sufficient to achieve position and attitude control of the quadrotor helicopter system, which permits possible real time applications in the near future.
