With ever increasing global demand and depleting resources for fossil fuels, oil and gas
industry is now positively looking for advanced robotic solutions to increase their productivity …

This article is an introduction to feedback control design for a family of robotic aerial vehicles
with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities such as quadrotors, ducted-fan tail …

Standard quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) possess a limited mobility because of
their inherent underactuation, that is, availability of four independent control inputs (the four …

This brief describes the application of direct and indirect model reference adaptive control to
a lightweight low-cost quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle platform. A baseline trajectory …

The design of output constrained control system for unmanned aerial vehicles deployed in
confined areas is an important issue in practice and not taken into account in many autopilot …

The formation control problem of a team of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with communication delays is addressed. Based on the extraction …

This paper provides nonlinear tracking control systems for a quadrotor unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) that are robust to bounded uncertainties. A mathematical model of a quadrotor …

In a disaster response management (DRM) scenario, communication and coordination are
limited, and absence of related infrastructure hinders situational awareness. Unmanned …

This note deals with consensus strategy design for double-integrator dynamics. Specifically,
we consider the case where the control inputs are required to be a priori bounded and the …

Nonlinear PID control systems for a quadrotor UAV are proposed to follow an attitude
tracking command and a position tracking command. The control systems are developed …
