Fractional calculus has been studied for over three centuries, and it has multifarious
applications in science and engineering. This review investigates its progress since the first …

With ever increasing global demand and depleting resources for fossil fuels, oil and gas
industry is now positively looking for advanced robotic solutions to increase their productivity …

In this chapter, strategies for Model Predictive Control (MPC) design and implementation for
Unmaned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are discussed. This chapter is divided into two main …

Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in
military, civil, and scientific sectors. Because of the existing nonlinearities, effective control …

For all the stable first order plus time delay (FOPTD) systems, a fractional order proportional
integral (FOPI) or a traditional integer order proportional integral derivative (IOPID) controller …

In this paper, a 3-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator developed by Tsai and Stamper
known as the Maryland manipulator is considered. In order to provide dynamic analysis …

This paper investigates a new finite-time fault-tolerant control (FTC) using a fractional-order
backstep** iterative design strategy for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the …

This study presents the application of a fractional-order PI λ D μ and an active disturbance
rejection (ADR) controller to a nonlinear two-mass system. A complete state-space …

This paper deals with chaos synchronization problem between two different uncertain
fractional-order (FO) chaotic systems with disturbance based on FO Lyapunov stability …

Remote sensing has traditionally be done with satellites and manned aircraft. While these
methods can yield useful scientific data, satellites and manned aircraft have limitations in …
