This article is an introduction to feedback control design for a family of robotic aerial vehicles
with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities such as quadrotors, ducted-fan tail …

Micro air vehicles with transitioning flight capabilities, or simply hybrid micro air vehicles,
combine the beneficial features of fixed-wing configurations, in terms of endurance, with …

We exploit the first-order aerodynamic effects for the feedback control of quadrotors in order
to enhance the performance of the closed-loop system. We describe first the origin of these …

This paper presents a unified control framework for controlling a quadrotor tail-sitter UAV.
The most salient feature of this framework is its capability of uniformly treating the hovering …

This paper addresses the path following control problem for scale-model fixed-wing aircraft.
Kinematic guidance and dynamic control laws are developed within a single coherent …

The letter takes the first step toward the development of a control framework for
underactuated flying humanoid robots. These robots may thus have the capacities of flight …

An integrated guidance and feedback control scheme for steering an underactuated vehicle
through desired waypoints in three-dimensional space, is developed here. The …

An approach to the control of a VTOL vehicle equipped with complementary thrust-tilting
capabilities that nominally yield full actuation of the vehicle's position and attitude is …

Trajectory tracking control for winged eVTOL aircraft is complicated by the high-angle-of-
attack aerodynamics experienced during navigational flight occurring immediately after …

This article studies the collaborative transportation of a cable-suspended pipe by two
quadrotors. A force-coordination control scheme is proposed, where a force-consensus term …
