description Over the past few decades, there has been a consistent interest in the creation and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Although originally developed for military purposes, such as surveillance and target acquisition, UAVs are now being utilized in a variety of fields, including tourism, public safety, transportation, and healthcare. Due to the considerable interest in the use of UAVs and their complex dynamic behavior, there has been a growth in the design and practical implementation of different control methods to accomplish their tasks and missions successfully. Control approaches developed for UAV systems mainly include adaptive control, robust control, and Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC). Recently, ADRC has gained significant popularity as a control method for UAVs due to its robustness against uncertainties and disturbances, as well as its ease of implementation. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation and insightful look into the various ADRC structures developed for UAV systems, as well as to highlight the basic issues involved in this field. This will allow readers to identify potential future requirements for expanding the utility of UAVs. An illustrative example of the ADRC scheme in the Parrot Mambo quadcopter is also included in this review paper.
