Review of PID Controller Applications for UAVs

Hans Oersted, Yudong Ma

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have gained widespread recognition for their diverse applications, ranging from surveillance to delivery services. Among the various control algorithms employed to stabilize and navigate UAVs, the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller stands out as a classical yet robust solution. This review provides a comprehensive examination of PID controller applications in the context of UAVs, addressing their fundamental principles, dynamics modeling, stability control, navigation tasks, parameter tuning methods, challenges, and future directions.
