There are two indispensable methodologies for autonomous flights performed by unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV). The first is flight control, and the other is simultaneous localization and …

The current light detection and ranging simultaneous localization and mapping (LiDAR-
SLAM) system suffers greatly from low accuracy and limited robustness when faced with …

Considering that the formation composed of light-weight UAVs is highly susceptible to the
interference, which may from the changes in the external environment and the uncertainty of …

Utilising emerging innovative technologies and systems to improve construction processes

In this article, we develop a methodology for trajectory tracking control of a vertical takeoff
and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the presence of unknown mass and …

This article presents a practical synthesized sliding-mode control (SSMC) scheme and, then,
applies it to quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems. A new adaptive law is …

In this paper is presented the development of a terminal sliding mode attitude-position
quaternion based control of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle UAV. First, the dynamics …

Cyber–physical systems (CPS) for device-to-device (D2D) communications are gaining
