The design of the propulsion system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) demands an
inclusive multidisciplinary approach from the earliest design phases, since every design …

In this letter, we introduce a novel transformable aerial robot called DRAGON, which is a
dual-rotor-embedded multilink robot with the ability of multi-degree-of-freedom (DoF) aerial …

In this document, a review about snake aerial manipulators is presented. The most common
mechatronical implications found in their design are described. The text is presented to the …

Designing a stable and robust flight control system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is
an arduous task. This paper addresses the trajectory tracking control problem of a Ducted …

Analyzing the propeller aerodynamic performance is of vital importance for research and
improvement of unmanned aerial vehicles. This paper presents the design requirements for …

This article proposes a novel adaptive super-twisting sliding mode control scheme with a
time-delay estimation technique (ASTSMC-TDE) to control the yaw angle of a single ducted …

This article is centered on the development of a robust position control and disturbance
compensation strategy for a mechatronic aero-pendulum using the soft computing paradigm …

Turbojet engines have a slow response and require mechanical assistance to perform
vertical take-offs and landings. In this paper, we propose a vertical take-off and landing …

This research concerns a novel micro-ducted-fan aircraft. A structured attitude controller is
designed for a novel unmanned aerial vehicle in the presence of strong state coupling and …

A Flying-type cable climbing robot, CCRobot-IV-F, is presented in this paper. It is a climbing
precursor of the fourth version of CCRobot, designed to surpass the abilities of previous …
