This paper aims to develop a fractional control approach for quadrotor trajectory tracking. A
fractional-order integrator (PI) with a feedback derivative scheme is designed to control each …

In city-wide weather prediction, wind gust information can be obtained using unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs). Although wind sensors are available, an algorithm-based active …

This paper discusses the resilience of the UAV quadrotor to wind disturbances. An unknown
input-state observer is presented that uses the Lipschitz method to estimate the internal …

This paper presents a robust altitude control that merges the principles of active disturbance
rejection control (ADRC) with the in-ground-effect model (IGE). To this end, a nonlinear …

Mars exploration has recently witnessed major interest within the scientific community,
particularly because unmanned aerial robotic platforms offer reliable alternatives for …

Modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with sophisticated mechanics ask for extended
online system identification to aid model-based controls in task execution. In addition, UAVs …

This paper presents the design, modeling, and control of a hybrid multi-degree-of-freedom
motor (HMDOF motor) that can be applied to unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones. The …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been used for a wide range of civil and public
domain applications, as well as for missions to Mars, during the last two decades. Multirotor …

The chapter focuses on the experimentation setup and implementation of the fractional
controller on the nonlinear quadrotor aircraft. Firstly, the mathematical model of a quadrotor …

Urban logistics has been the primary target for recent drone applications. However, these
drones face varying weather conditions in their flight horizon that can limit their performance …
