Over the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have received a significant
attention due to their diverse capabilities for non-combatant and military applications. The …

This paper exposes the Navigation and Control technology embedded in a recently
commercialized micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the AR. Drone, which cost and …

This paper addresses the problem of designing and experimentally validating a controller for
steering a quadrotor vehicle along a trajectory, while rejecting constant force disturbances …

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 …

Modern non-inertial robots are usually underactuated, such as fix or rotary wing Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), underwater or nautical robots, to name a few. Those systems are …

In this paper, we address the design of a navigation control algorithm for the autonomous
landing of a quadrotor on a moving mobile platform. The quadrotor's velocity is unknown …

This paper investigates the trajectory tracking problem for quadrotors with finite-time
convergence via homogeneous feedback approach. Based on the inherent underactuated …

This work addresses the problem of motion planning among obstacles for quadrotor
platforms under external disturbances and with model uncertainty. A novel Nonlinear Model …

The design, modeling, and control of a new class of modular aerial robots, obtained by
rigidly interconnecting a number of ducted-fan aircraft, are presented in this paper. A …

This paper addresses the problem of navigation of autonomous vehicles based on the range
to a single beacon. The vehicle is equipped with a standard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) …
