In recent years, research and development in aerial robotics (ie, unmanned aerial vehicles,
UAVs) has been growing at an unprecedented speed, and there is a need to summarize the …

This article presents a survey on publicly available open-source projects (OSPs) on
quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Recently, there has been increasing interest in …

A quadrotor with a cable-suspended load with eight degrees of freedom and four degrees
underactuation is considered and the system is established to be a differentially-flat hybrid …

Abstract The Flying Machine Arena is a platform for experiments and demonstrations with
fleets of small flying vehicles. It utilizes a distributed, modular architecture linked by robust …

Traditional learning approaches proposed for controlling quadrotors or helicopters have

We propose new methods to synthesize control barrier function (CBF) based safe controllers
that avoid input saturation, which can cause safety violations. In particular, our method is …

This paper investigates tracking controls for an arbitrary number of cooperating quadrotor
unmanned aerial vehicles with a suspended load. Assuming that a point mass is connected …

Transport of objects is a major application in robotics nowadays. While ground robots can
carry heavy payloads for long distances, they are limited in rugged terrains. Aerial robots …
