This paper proposes a feedback control strategy to let the dynamics of a class of under-
actuated vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle tracking a desired position and …

A novel guidance algorithm is proposed for the attitude reorientation of a rigid body
spacecraft in the presence of multiple types of attitude-constrained zones. In this direction …

For high-resolution imaging implementations, the spacecraft attitude tracking control
accuracy is crucial to determining the imaging quality. This investigation addresses the …

This paper provides an overview of attitude coordination problems of multi-rigid-body with
the goal of promoting research in this area. Theoretical results regarding consensus seeking …

In this paper, we propose two hybrid feedbacks based on “synergistic” potential functions to
achieve robust global asymptotic tracking of rigid-body attitude, a task that is impossible by …

This paper proposes a novel inner–outer loop control methodology to tackle the trajectory
tracking problem for input-saturated quadrotors. The outer-loop, encapsulating the position …

A hierarchical control strategy is designed for the position-based formation tracking control
of rotorcraft-like aerial vehicles without linear velocity measurements. In the outer loop, the …

Quadrotors are aerial vehicles with a four motor-rotor assembly for generating lift and
controllability. Their light weight, ease of design and simple dynamics have increased their …

In this paper, we tackle the problem of trajectory tracking for a particular class of
underactuated vehicles with full torque actuation and a single force direction (thrust), which …

We propose a nonlinear hybrid dual quaternion feedback control law for multibody
spacecraft-mounted robotic systems (SMRSs) pose control. Indeed, screw theory expressed …
