Target tracking using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a challenging robotic problem. It
requires handling a high level of nonlinearity and dynamics. Model-free control effectively …

The paper introduces an interactive machine learning mechanism to process the
measurements of an uncertain, nonlinear dynamic process and hence advise an actuation …

The autonomous landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a moving platform is an
essential functionality in various UAV-based applications. It can be added to a teleoperation …

Drone target tracking, which involves instructing drone movement to follow a moving target,
encounters several challenges:(1) traditional methods need accurate state estimation of …

In this article, we propose a model-free adaptive learning solution for a model-following
control problem. This approach employs policy iteration, to find an optimal adaptive control …

With the increase in the popularity of commercial/military drones, anti-drone systems are
needed to prevent them from being used for unauthorized purposes. One of the anti-drone …

This paper delves into the problem of tracking an unknown maneuvering target using only
monocular visual feedback. It is usually difficult to perform target tracking using only …

The goal of this dissertation research is to demonstrate the integration of targeting,
guidance, navigation, and control (TGNC) functions for real-time implementation onboard …

Autonomous capture of an unknown non-cooperative aerial target is a complex task
requiring real-time target localization, trajectory prediction and control. The current work …
