During last decade the scientific research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicless (UAVs) increased
spectacularly and led to the design of multiple types of aerial platforms. The major challenge …

This article surveys the trajectory tracking issue of underactuated vertical takeoff and landing
(VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) subject to thrust and torque faults, ie, loss of …

Precision agriculture currently presents significant growth thanks to the development of three
main technologies: drones, vision-based systems, and embedded electronics. To take …

We present an asymptotic tracking controller for an underactuated quadrotor unmanned
aerial vehicle using the sliding mode control method and immersion and invariance based …

This paper exploits a nonlinear robust adaptive hierarchical sliding mode control approach
for quadrotors subject to thrust constraint and inertial parameter uncertainty to accomplish …

This paper develops a novel immersion and invariance (I&I)-based adaptive controller for
nonlinear underactuated quadrotor systems subject to uncertain inertial parameters. The …

The autonomous ship landing control issue of multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
is investigated. To achieve the ship landing operation efficiently and precisely, a novel …

In this paper, a monocular vision based autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance system
for a commercial quadrotor is presented. The video stream of the front camera and the …

This article considers visual servoing-based motion control of multirotor unmanned aerial
vehicles. We employ output feedback and image-based visual servoing to control the …

This paper presents a novel finite-time switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) control
method for quadrotors subject to large attitude angles and external disturbances. For …
