This paper provides a broad perspective and analysis of the work done in control of hybrid
and convertible unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the main existing designs. These flying …

Implementation of adaptive backstepping controllers requires analytic calculation of the
partial derivatives of certain stabilizing functions. It is well documented that, as the order of a …

This book gives a comprehensive overview of the recently developed ℒ1 adaptive control
theory with detailed proofs of the fundamental results. The key feature of ℒ1 adaptive control …

In this paper, we present a novel adaptive control architecture that ensures that the input and
output of an uncertain linear system track the input and output of a desired linear system …

In this paper we present an extension of the L1 adaptive control architecture to nonlinear
systems in the presence of significant uncertain cross-coupling. To evaluate the L1 adaptive …

Advanced capabilities planned for the next generation of unmanned aircraft will be based on
complex new algorithms and non-traditional software elements. These aircraft will …

The main task of this work is to design a control system for a small tail-sitter Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) during the transition process. Although reasonable control …

In conditions of above rated wind speed, the power output of a wind turbine should be
maintained at rated power to prevent overheating of generators and power electronics …

This paper presents a novel adaptive control methodology for uncertain systems with time-
varying unknown parameters and time-varying bounded disturbances. The adaptive …

There is renewed interest in tail-sitter airplanes on account of their vertical takeoff and
landing capability as well as their efficient horizontal flight capabilities. The transition from a …
