Sure, here are some robust control methods for nonlinear systems:
1. H∞ control: A control method that uses the H∞ norm to design
controllers for systems with uncertainties and disturbances 1.
2. μ-synthesis: A control method that uses the μ-analysis to design
controllers for systems with uncertainties and disturbances 1.
3. Sliding mode control: A control method that uses a sliding surface to
drive the system to a desired state and keep it there 2.
4. Adaptive control: A control method that adapts the controller
parameters in real-time to maintain optimal performance in the
presence of changing conditions 3.
5. Backstepping control: A control method that recursively designs
controllers for subsystems of a nonlinear system 4.
6. Model predictive control: A control method that uses a model of the
system to predict future behavior and optimize a control signal over a
finite time horizon 5.
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of robust control methods for
nonlinear systems, and there are many other methods that are used in
practice.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊.

Here are some research paths to optimize control of UAV suspended payload:

Trajectory planning: Research has been conducted on trajectory planning

methods that generate smooth trajectories considering the time-varying
shape and nonlinear dynamics of the system, ensuring whole-body safety and
dynamic feasibility 1.

Nonlinear optimal control: A nonlinear optimal control approach has been

developed for the UAV and suspended load system. The dynamic model of the
UAV and payload system undergoes approximate linearization. This makes use
of Taylor series expansion around a temporary operating point which is
recomputed at each iteration of the control method 2.

Collision-free path planning: State-of-the-art methods for path planning and

control of slung-load UAVs are often concerned with swing-minimizing
trajectories or control of either the load or the vehicle to enable agile
maneuvers. Optimization methods have found more success in uniting the
planning and control for slung-load UAVs as a whole 3.

Adaptive control: Adaptive control is a control method used by a controller

that must adapt to a controlled system with parameters that vary or are
initially uncertain. The goal of adaptive control is to design a controller that
can adjust its parameters in real-time to maintain optimal performance in the
presence of changing conditions 4.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of research paths to optimize
control of UAV suspended payload, and there are many other paths that are
being explored.

Sure, here are some control algorithms for UAV suspended payload other than
sliding mode controller:
Classical control: A traditional control method that uses mathematical models
to design controllers. It is widely used in UAVs due to its simplicity and ease of
implementation 1.

Advanced control: A control method that uses advanced mathematical

techniques such as optimal control, adaptive control, and robust control to
design controllers. It is more complex than classical control but provides better
performance 1.

Fuzzy control: A control method that uses fuzzy logic to design controllers. It is
suitable for systems with complex structures that are difficult to model
mathematically 4.

Deep reinforcement learning: A learning-based control method that uses deep

neural networks to learn control policies from experience. It has shown
promising results in UAV control 2.

Proportional navigation: A guidance method that uses the line-of-sight rate

between the missile and the target to guide the missile to the target. It is
widely used in UAVs for guidance and control 3.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of control methods for UAVs with
suspended payloads, and there are many other methods that are used in
practice..
