Quadrotors are Vertical Take-Off and Landing aerial vehicles with many potential
applications ranging from mapping to supporting rescue operations. This paper aims to …

This paper reviews the effect of multirotor aerial vehicle designs on their abilities in terms of
tasks and system properties. We propose a general taxonomy to characterize and describe …

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can execute aggressive (ie, high-speed
and high-acceleration) maneuvers have attracted significant attention in the past few years …

The development of miniature flying robots has become a reachable dream, thanks to the
new sensing and actuating technologies. Micro VTOL systems represent a useful class of …

This paper presents periodic solutions for a quadrocopter maintaining a height around a
position in space despite having lost a single, two opposing, or three propellers. In each …

The latest technological progress in sensors, actuators and energy storage devices enables
the developments of miniature VTOL systems. In this paper we present the results of two …

Over the last decade, considerable interest has been shown from industry, government and
academia to the design of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) autonomous aerial …

This thesis is about modelling, design and control of Miniature Flying Robots (MFR) with a
focus on Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) systems and specifically, micro quadrotors. It …

Progresses in sensor technology, data processing and integrated actuators has made the
development of miniature flying robots fully possible. Micro VTOL systems represent a useful …

In this paper, we propose a new quaternion-based feedback control scheme for exponential
attitude stabilization of a four-rotor vertical takeoff and landing aerial robot known as a …
