In recent years, electric unmanned areal vehicles (UAVs) are gaining popularity due to their
capabilities in civil and military applications. The rationale is that UAVs can do more …

Over the last decade, the use of autonomous drone systems for surveying, search and
rescue, or last-mile delivery has increased exponentially. With the rise of these applications …

In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation algorithm design for multicarrier solar-
powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication systems. In particular, the UAV is …

In this letter, we prove that the dynamical model of a quadrotor subject to linear rotor drag
effects is differentially flat in its position and heading. We use this property to compute …

This review surveys the current state of the art in the development of unmanned aerial
vehicles, focusing on algorithms for quadrotors. Tremendous progress has been made …

Quadrotor aircraft are drawing considerable attention for their high mobility and capacity to
perform tasks with complete autonomy, while minimizing the costs and risks involved with …

In this paper, we apply the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technique to improve
the massive channel access of a wireless IoT network where solar-powered Unmanned …

This article presents a geometric adaptive controller for a quadrotor unmanned aerial
vehicle with artificial neural networks. It is assumed that the dynamics of a quadrotor is …

This paper presents a novel unmanned aerial vehicle platform based on a three rotor
configuration, which can achieve the highest level of maneuverability in all 6 dimensions (ie …

Various quadrotor drones have been developed in recent years, mainly focusing on either
improving maximum thrust per platform area or flight maneuverability. Evidently, achieving …
