In this paper, a gain scheduled [Formula: see text] state-feedback controller has been designed to control the attitude of a linear parameter varying (LPV) model of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The scheduling parameters vector, which consists of some states and the control inputs, must vary in a specified polyhedron so that the affine LPV model would be analyzable; therefore, some pre-assumed constraints on states and input saturation have been taken into account in design process. The stabilization and disturbance attenuation conditions are obtained via elementary manipulations on the notion of [Formula: see text] control design. The resulting parameter dependent linear matrix inequalities are solved through a Robust LMI Parser (Rolmip) – which works jointly with YALMIP (A toolbox for modeling and optimization in MATLAB)– by transforming polynomial parameter dependent matrices into multi-simplex domain, to best deal with nonconvex problems. In the end, simulation results have been presented and compared with existing literature to examine the capability of such method in the presence and absence of wind disturbances.
