A tracking controller for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is developed to track moving
targets in the presence of occlusion. The controller can track moving targets based on a …

In this paper, we develop a robust controller to accomplish a herding task, ie, using a directly
controllable agent to influence the states of target agents which are not directly controllable …

Switched systems theory is used to analyze the stability of image-based observers for three-
dimensional localization of objects in a scene in the presence of intermittent measurements …

Image sensors have widespread use in many robotics applications and, in particular, in
target tracking. While existing methods assume continuous image feedback, the novelty of …

An image-based control strategy along with estimation of target motion is developed to track
dynamic targets without motion constraints. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board cameras are widely used for remote
surveillance and video capturing applications. In remote virtual reality (VR) applications …

Awareness coverage control for multiple targets in a large-scale mission domain is
considered in this work. Most previous results require prior knowledge of the loss of …
