文摘The mathematical model of quadcopter-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is derived by using two approaches: One is the Newton-Euler approach which is formulated using classical meehanics; and other is the Euler-Lagrange approach which describes the model in terms of kinetic (translational and rotational) and potential energy.
