Abstract
This paper presents a predictor-based method for the control of quad-rotor with delayed measurements obtained from a GPS or vision system. A predictor design based in Taylor series with integral remainder is presented. The closed-loop scheme is validated by simulations and by real-time experiments on a quad-rotor platform.
