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 …

The design of output constrained control system for unmanned aerial vehicles deployed in
confined areas is an important issue in practice and not taken into account in many autopilot …

This paper addresses a new trajectory tracking controller for quad-rotor aircrafts in the
presence of time-varying aerodynamic effect and bounded external disturbance using the …

A L1 adaptive backstepping controller is proposed for path-following control of an
underactuated ship based on a nonlinear steering model, and the control law is derived …

This paper addresses the trajectory tracking control (ie, outer-loop control) problem for
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of modeling uncertainties and external …

Abstract Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have seen unprecedented levels of growth
during the last two decades. Although many challenges still exist, one of the main UAS focus …

Inspired by the aerial prowess of flying insects, we demonstrate that their robotic counterpart,
an insect-scale flapping-wing robot, can mimic an aggressive maneuver seen in natural …

The descent longitudinal trajectory control methodology of a hypersonic glider to carry out a
pullup maneuver is presented. A dynamic pole placement controller is implemented as the …

This paper presents an adaptive backstepping controller for the position trajectory tracking of
a quadrotor. The design adopts and modifies the L1 adaptive control approach for nonlinear …

This paper concerns with tracking control of an unmanned quadrotor vehicle equipped with
a multi-link robotic manipulator. We present an analytic model of the system that formulates …
