The paper presents an adaptive trajectory tracking control strategy for quadrotor Micro Aerial Vehicles. The proposed approach, while keeping the typical assumption of an orientation dynamics faster than the translational one, removes that of absence of external disturbances and of perfect symmetry of the vehicle. In particular, the trajectory tracking control law is made adaptive with respect to the presence of external forces and moments, and to the uncertainty of dynamic parameters as the position of the center of mass of the vehicle. A stability analysis as well as numerical simulations are provided to support the control design.
