We address the problem of trajectory tracking control of a quadrotor-slung-load system. A
novel control framework is proposed that relaxes the differentiability class order of the …

In aerial load transportation applications, knowing the mass of the load in advance is not
always possible. The load dynamics depend on its mass and using a high-performance …

Recently, it is becoming increasingly possible to apply aerial transportation systems to real-
world applications. However, current research works on cable-suspended transportation …

In this paper, we address the challenging problem of path-following control for a group of
Quadrotor-Slung-Load Systems (QSLSs) subject to time-varying disturbances. A single …

This article proposes an actuator fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for quadrotor
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a cable-suspended load. First, a linear parameter …

Groups of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly utilized in transportation task
as the combined strength allows to increase the maximum payload. However, the resulting …

Aerial transportation systems are important ways for cargo delivery, especially in forest fire-
fighting, postdisaster rescue, etc. While the harsh working environments may lead to …

By utilizing a suspension cable to connect the payload with the quadrotor, transport tasks
can be accomplished while preserving the unmanned aerial vehicle's agility and …

A multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) slung load system (SLS) is a nonlinear
dynamics with eight degrees of freedom and four inputs that can be used for load …

This paper models a point-mass load tethered to a single autonomous underwater vehicle
(AUV) and proposes a quantitative control strategy, which is able to drive the load to track …
