This review concentrates on three main challenges of controlling a quadrotor unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) as an underactuated mechanical system (UMS). The challenges …

This paper reviews the effect of multirotor aerial vehicle designs on their abilities in terms of
tasks and system properties. We propose a general taxonomy to characterize and describe …

In this paper, we propose, discuss, and validate an online Nonlinear Model Predictive
Control (NMPC) method for multi-rotor aerial systems with arbitrarily positioned and oriented …

In this paper, we shed light on two fundamental actuation capabilities of multirotors. The first
is the degree of coupling between the total force and total moment generated by the …

Reliable health monitoring of mechanical components in aerial robotic systems is crucial to
their safe operation. The highly constrained nature of aerial systems requires that such …

In this article, an online RNN-based finite-time formation tracking control (ORNN-FTFTC) is
designed to quickly accomplish an assigned formation of nonlinear generalized and …

A fault diagnosis algorithm using a deep neural network for an octocopter Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. All eight rotors are considered in the multiclass classification …

This article presents an innovative control architecture for tilt-rotor quadcopters with H-
configuration transporting unknown, sling payloads. This control architecture leverages on a …

In this paper, a robust attitude and position control of a novel modified quadrotor unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV) which has higher drive capability as well as greater robustness …

A reactive three-dimensional maneuver strategy for a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) is proposed based on the collision cone approach to avoid potential collision with a …
