A substantial interest in aerial robots has grown in recent years. However, the energetic cost
of flying is one of the key challenges nowadays. Rotorcrafts are heavier-than-air flying …

This work deals with load transportation by quadrotors, when the load is attached to the
vehicles through flexible cables. More specifically, two quadrotors are used to carry a single …

This paper presents a computational system designed to perform autonomous indoor flights
using low-cost equipment. Depending on the mission to be accomplished, one or two Parrot …

This study presents a feedback control strategy for the regulation of a planar vertical takeoff
and landing aircraft. To this end, two controllers that work simultaneously were designed …

This work proposes the representation of the high level dynamic model of a quadrotor UAV
with a suspended load, through Euler-Lagrange equations. The rotorcraft movement is …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) provide a wide range of applications, amongst which is
load transportation. However, they have low payload capabilities, in general. Then …

This work proposes the representation of the high level dynamic modelling of a formation of
two quadrotor UAVs cooperatively carrying a suspended load. The two quadrotors are …

This paper investigates the robust continuous fractional-order nonlinear sliding mode
(RCFONSM) control scheme for controlling a disturbed uncertain quadrotor (DUQ). First, the …

The effective control of gimbal, Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and Load Transporting
System (LTS) in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), which are widely used in map** …

This paper presents a low-cost localization system to guide an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) in indoor flights, considering an environment with invariant texture and typical indoor …
