Unmanned air vehicle (UAV) systems for performing forestry applications have expanded in
recent decades and have great economic benefits. They are validated to be more appealing …

Featured Application This paper addresses the practical application of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) in modern transportation systems, mainly focusing on how UAVs can be …

In this article, a novel approach of a robust flight observer for a disturbance quadrotor
transporting a payload in the presence of multiple time-varying delays is proposed. The …

The operational areas for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in power line inspection
are highly complex; thus, the best path planning under known obstacles is of significant …

The goal of this paper is to develop a continuous optimization-based refinement of the
reference trajectory to 'push it out'of the obstacle-occupied space in the global phase for …

A trajectory tracking control for quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on a
nonlinear robust backstepping algorithm and extended state/disturbance observer (ESDO) …

This paper introduces a stable adaptive PID-like control scheme for quadrotor Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems. The PID-like controller is designed to closely estimate an …

In this paper, a prescribed performance control scheme of the quadrotor unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) under attitude and input saturation constraints is introduced. According to the …

In this paper, the autonomous trajectory-tracking problem for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC) algorithms is treated. The control system is …

The game of pursuit–evasion has always been a popular research subject in the field of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Current evasion decision making based on …
