description: The development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become a revolution in the ﬁelds of data collection, surveying, monitoring, and tracking objects in the ﬁeld. Many control and navigation algorithms are experimented and deployed for UAVs, especially quadrotors. Recent numerous approaches are geared towards reducing the inﬂuence of external disturbances to enhance the performance of UAVs. Nevertheless, designing cutting-edge controllers following the requirements of the applications is still a huge challenge. Based on the operating characteristics and movement principle of a quadrotor, this work reviews potential control algorithms of the current researches in the ﬁeld of the quadrotor ﬂight controller. Besides, a comparison has been made to provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the mentioned methods. At last, the challenges and future directions of the quadrotor ﬂight controller are suggested.
