Abstract Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have a variety of applications in our daily life that
have attracted the attention of many researchers around the world. There are a variety of …

This paper investigates the attitude tracking problem of a rigid spacecraft using
contemporary predefined-time stability theory. To this end, the relative attitude kinematic and …

This study surveys the developments in satellite attitude determination and control system,
especially for microsats. This survey is not intended to be complete but is limited to the most …

The studies of earth observation satellite (EOS) scheduling for stationary targets have been
increasing rapidly in recent years. However, these studies ignore EOS scheduling for …

This article investigates a distributed game strategy for formation control of multispacecraft
subjected to nonlinear dynamics and J 2 perturbations. In the proposed problem, each …

The problem of trajectory tracking control for an underactuated stratospheric airship with
model parameter uncertainties and wind disturbances is addressed in the paper. An …

This paper investigates the control problem of a morphing aircraft with variable sweep wings
based on switched nonlinear systems and adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). The …

The hygroscopic motion of plants has inspired the development of moisture‐activated soft
actuators. These actuators driven by ambient moisture sources are of great research interest …

Flexible high-altitude long endurance (HALE) aircraft face challenges such as the delay
effect caused by aeroelasticity and low efficiency during high-altitude cruising. This paper …

This paper focuses on the fixed-time time-varying formation-containment (TVFC) control
problem for multiple underactuated quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (QUAVs) with …
