With the development of the new generation of information technology, artificial intelligence,
cloud computing and big data are gradually becoming powerful engines of the smart grid. In …

In this article, a quantized control capable of appointed-time performances for quadrotor
attitude tracking is investigated. A continuous and piecewise behavior boundary, rather than …

This paper addresses the landing problem of a quadrotor on an unpredictable moving
vehicle, using a robust image-based visual servoing (IBVS) method. The circle-based image …

This article presents a control strategy to improve the energy efficiency of a quadrotor for
field inspections. A power consumption analytical model for a quadrotor is constructed …

In this paper, an unknown system dynamics estimator (USDE)-based sliding mode control
(SMC) is presented for quadrotor attitude tracking with the aims of conquering control …

In a complex urban scene, observation from a single sensor unavoidably leads to voids in
observations, failing to describe urban objects in a comprehensive manner. In this paper, we …

Visual servoing is an effective strategy for autonomous flight of quadrotor. However, it faces
the requirement of visibility constraint, ie, holding the observed object inside the field of view …

This paper concerns the problem of robust attitude control of a quadrotor aircraft subjected to
modeling inaccuracies and wind disturbances. First, the model dynamics and state space …

When transporting cargoes or goods by aerial vehicles, the hook's rotation around the
suspension point, together with the payload's rotation around the hook, causes the double …

The unknown two-dimensional obstacles, including different shapes, numbers, locations,
and in the vicinity of the planning path for an outdoor quadrotor, are on-line detected by a …
