- Title
A Backstepping Approach to Nonlinear Model Predictive Horizon for Optimal Trajectory Planning.

- Abstract
This paper presents a novel trajectory planning approach for nonlinear dynamical systems; a multi-rotor drone, built on an optimization-based framework proposed by the authors named the Nonlinear Model Predictive Horizon. In the present work, this method is integrated with a Backstepping Control technique. The goal is to remove the non-convexity of the optimization problem in order to provide real-time computation of reference trajectories for the vehicle which respects its dynamics while avoiding sensed static and dynamic obstacles in the environment. Our method is applied to two models of multi-rotor drones to demonstrate its flexibility. Several simulation and hardware flight experiments are presented to validate the proposed design and demonstrate its performance improvement over earlier work.
