The main subjects of the publication include mobile robot, tracking, Type-2 fuzzy sets and systems, fuzzy logic, computer science, Fractional-order control, control engineering, control theory, PID controler, quadrotor, irrigation controller, and trajectory. Trajectory-tracking is an attractive application for quadcopters and a very challenging, complicated field of research due to the complex dynamics of a quadcopter.Various control algorithms have been developed to stabilize the quadcopter over a certain trajectory since it is hard for a quadcopter to follow a certain trajectory.In this paper, a fuzzy-PID controller is designed to stabilize the quadcopter over a certain trajectory using the speed information as an input.The proposed controller is compared to a PD controller and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to distinguish which has a better performance using MATLAB/Simulink.The simulation results demonstrate that under different trajectories the fuzzy-PID controller shows a better response than the other two controllers.
