This paper presents a review of the design and application of model predictive control
strategies for Micro Aerial Vehicles and specifically multirotor configurations such as …

A novel kinematic formation controller based on null-space theory is proposed to transport a
cable-suspended payload with two rotorcraft UAVs considering collision avoidance, wind …

In recent years, the collaborative operation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has
been an important advancement in drone technology. The research on multi-UAV …

Robust control of non-linear systems is a challenging task, notably in the presence of
external disturbances and uncertain parameters. The main focus of this paper is to solve the …

In this work a vertically integrated fault-tolerant control scheme for fixed-wing Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is presented. At its core, an online approximate Trim Flight Envelope …

A conventional feedback-linearization-based controller, when applied to a tiltrotor (eight
inputs), results in extensive changes in tilting angles, which are not expected in practice. To …

In this paper, we address the problem of multiple quadcopter control, where the quadcopters
maneuver in close proximity resulting in interference due to air-drafts. We use sparse …

This article concerns some optimal control problems arising in the operation of drone
systems to support search and rescue operations in the aftermath of disasters, such as …

Purpose In this paper, an innovative hybrid intelligent position control method for vertical
take-off and landing (VTOL) tiltrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed. So the …

This paper introduces a tube-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) formulation for high-
order uncertain Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems, utilizing efficient set …
