Three challenges, however, can hinder the application of Feedback Linearization: over-intensive control signals, singular decoupling matrix, and saturation. Activating any of these three issues can challenge the stability proof. To solve these three challenges, first, this research proposed the drone gait plan. The gait plan was initially used to figure out the control problems in quadruped (four-legged) robots; applying this approach, accompanied by Feedback Linearization, the quality of the control signals was enhanced. Then, we proposed the concept of unacceptable attitude curves, which are not allowed for the tiltrotor to travel to. The Two Color Map Theorem was subsequently established to enlarge the supported attitude for the tiltrotor. These theories were employed in the tiltrotor tracking problem with different references. Notable improvements in the control signals were witnessed in the tiltrotor simulator. Finally, we explored the control theory, the stability proof of the novel mobile robot (tilt vehicle) stabilized by Feedback Linearization with saturation. Instead of adopting the tiltrotor model, which is over-complicated, we designed a conceptual mobile robot (tilt-car) to analyze the stability proof. The stability proof (stable in the sense of Lyapunov) was found for a mobile robot (tilt vehicle) controlled by Feedback Linearization with saturation for the first time. The success tracking result with the promising control signals in the tiltrotor simulator demonstrates the advances of our control method. Also, the Lyapunov candidate and the tracking result in the mobile robot (tilt-car) simulator confirm our deductions of the stability proof. These results reveal that these three challenges in Feedback Linearization are solved, to some extents.
