Covers PID control systems from the very basics to the advanced topics This book covers the
design, implementation and automatic tuning of PID control systems with operational …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), often unmanned aerial systems, are increasingly used in
many industries, such as agriculture, forestry, the military, and disaster management. This is …

The paper focuses on mathematical modelling of a quadrotor and identification of
parameters used in presented models. There are several models of the quadrotor that can …

The modeling of radio links plays a crucial role in achieving mission success of unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs). By simulating and analyzing communication performance, operators …

This paper studies the fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem for unknown affine nonlinear
systems with actuators faults. The considered types of faults are stuck (lock-in-place), loss-in …

Presently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have a broad spectrum of applications, in
which regular monitoring of critical infrastructure assets is an important risk mitigation usage …

This paper presents the design and practical implementation of a quaternion control scheme
to globally stabilize a quadrotor aerial vehicle. First an attitude control law is proposed to …

The aim of this article is to design and verify various control techniques for a quadrotor using
a quaternion representation of the attitude. All attitude controllers use a quaternion error to …

In the last decades, the increasing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles for both military and
civil applications made necessary the development of flight control theory and algorithms …
