CAD-Based Simulator for Quadrotors
This is the 2.0 version of a Simulink toolbox that allows to compare and contrast the peromance of any two control architecture for quadrotors, such as the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and rhe model reference adaptive controls (MRAC). A unique feature of this simulator is that the quadrotor's dynamics is not captured by a set of differential equations, but a CAD model generated in Solidworks and then imported in Simulink using the Simscape Multibody Blockset.
