Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer a wide range of interesting military and commercial
applications at reduced costs. A couple of their more interesting characteristics include: They …

A cyber-physical system (CPS) is composed of tightly-integrated computation,
communication and physical elements. Medical devices, buildings, mobile devices, robots …

Based on nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC), a flight controller is proposed
in this paper for a quadrotor with a total rotor failure. The proposed method is a finite-time …

This paper presents periodic solutions for a quadrocopter maintaining a height around a
position in space despite having lost a single, two opposing, or three propellers. In each …

The mechanical simplicity, hover capabilities, and high agility of quadrotors lead to a fast
adaption in the industry for inspection, exploration, and urban aerial mobility. On the other …

As the first part, this paper presents an overview on the existing works on fault detection and
diagnosis (FDD) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) for unmanned rotorcraft systems …

Fault-tolerant control is crucial for safety-critical systems, such as quadrotors. State-of-art
flight controllers can stabilize and control a quadrotor even when subjected to the complete …

A control solution for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle encapsulating a nonlinear inner-loop
based on the application of feedback linearization to the attitude and altitude dynamics is …

In this paper, we address the state initialization problem in recurrent neural networks
(RNNs), which seeks proper values for the RNN initial states at the beginning of a prediction …

In this paper, the problem of designing a control law in case of rotor failure in quadrotor
vehicles is addressed. First, a nonlinear mathematical model for a quadrotor vehicle is …
