Remote sensing has traditionally be done with satellites and manned aircraft. While these
methods can yield useful scientific data, satellites and manned aircraft have limitations in …

Accurate dynamic modeling of helicopter aeromechanics is becoming increasingly
important, as progressively stringent requirements are being imposed on rotorcraft control …

In this paper, we present a full scheme for the cooperative control of multiple unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) helicopters. We adopt the leader-follower pattern to maintain a fixed …

The purpose of this paper is devoted to developing a chaotic artificial bee colony algorithm
(CABC) for the system identification of a small‐scale unmanned helicopter state‐space …

Applied Control System Design examines several methods for building up systems models
based on real experimental data from typical industrial processes and incorporating system …

In this paper, we present a control system design and a collision avoidance scheme for the
formation flight of multiple UAV helicopters. We adopt the leader-follower pattern to maintain …

Rigorous control synthesis for an unmanned aerial vehicle necessitates the availability of a
good, reasonable model for such a vehicle. The work reported in this paper focuses on the …

The problem of stabilization of a model helicopter in a hover configuration subject to
parametric uncertainty and external disturbances is addressed. Multiinput multioutput …

This paper presents a comprehensive method for identifying the nonlinear model of a small-
scale unmanned helicopter. The model structure is obtained by first principles derivation …

General use quadcopters have been under development for over a decade but many of their
potential applications are still under evaluation and have not yet been adopted in many of …
