contents This paper investigates the application of a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for the cruise control system of a quadrotor, focusing on hovering point stabilization and reference tracking. Initially, a full-state-feedback MPC is designed for the ideal scenario. To account for real-world conditions, a constant disturbance is introduced to the quadrotor, simulating a gust of wind in a specific direction. In response, an output-feedback offset-free MPC is developed to stabilize the quadrotor while rejecting the disturbance. We validate the design of the controller by conducting stability analysis, as well as numerical simulations under different circumstances. It is shown that the designed controller can achieve all the expected goals for the cruise control, including reference tracking and disturbance rejection. This project was implemented using Python and the CVXPY library for convex optimization.
