Abstract
Stability and controllability are the basic properties of a dynamical system. Since a multicopter without control feedback is unstable, an autopilot is required to guarantee its stability and further make the multicopter hover automatically without any need for an external intervention.

Notes
- 1.
A point is an interior point of \(\mathscr {S}\) if there exists an open ball centered at the point which is completely contained in \(\mathscr {S}\).
- 2.
\(CH\left( \Omega \right) \) is the convex hull of \(\Omega \), which is defined as the intersection of all convex sets which includes \(\Omega \) in \( \mathbb {R} ^{m}\).
