Aerial manipulation aims at combining the versatility and the agility of some aerial platforms
with the manipulation capabilities of robotic arms. This letter tries to collect the results …

Abstract Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) are becoming ever more promising over the
last decade. The Sense and Avoid (S&A) system plays a profoundly important role in …

The problem of controlling the quadrotor orientation and position is considered in the
presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. Previous works generally …

In this paper, we present an extended state observer–based robust dynamic surface
trajectory tracking controller for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle subject to parametric …

Motion control theory applied to multi-rotor aerial vehicles (MAVs) has gained attention with
the recent increase in the processing power of computers, which are now able to perform the …

This study proposes a novel nonlinear resilient trajectory control for a quadrotor unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) using backstepping control and nonlinear disturbance observer. First, a …

A path-following controller based on an uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE) for a
quadrotor with a cable-suspended payload is proposed in this paper. The quadrotor and the …

In this article, we propose a solution to the problem of path following for a quadcopter aircraft
with unknown vehicle parameters (mass and moment of inertia) and external disturbances …

This paper addresses two composite learning controller designs of quadrotor dynamics with
unknown dynamics and time-varying disturbances using the terminal sliding mode. For …

In this paper, a robust decentralized and linear time-invariant controller is proposed for
quadrotors to achieve trajectory tracking. The designed closed-loop control system includes …
