Motion control theory applied to multi-rotor aerial vehicles (MAVs) has gained attention with
the recent increase in the processing power of computers, which are now able to perform the …

Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are becoming one of the key machines/tools of the
modern world, particularly in military applications. Numerous research works are underway …

This paper extends some previous work on trajectory generation for UAV (Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles) using differential flatness in combination with B-splines parametrization. The …

This paper deals with the problem of trajectory planning and tracking of a quadcopter system
based on the property of differential flatness. First, B-spline characterisations of the flat …

This paper develops a fault tolerant control (FTC) approach for quadrotor aerial vehicles
under different types of actuator faults. An observer-based fault detection and diagnosis …

With autonomous aerial vehicles enacting safety-critical missions, such as the Mars Science
Laboratory Curiosity rover's landing on Mars, the tasks of automatically identifying and …

In this paper we deal with nonlinear control design for Parrot Mambo or Parrot Rolling
Spider quadcopters using Simulink Support Package for Parrot Minidrones. A full rigid body …

This work proposes an Input-Output linearization (IOL) trajectory tracking controller for an
actuated octocopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The underactuated octocopter …

This paper proposes a novel approach to impose constraints on angles and angular
velocities for the trajectory generation of thrust-propelled underactuated vehicles. The con …

Using the properties of differential flatness, a controllable system, such as a quadcoper
model, may be transformed into a linear equivalent system via a coordinate change and an …
