In this article, we attempt to document a technical overview on modern miniature unmanned
rotorcraft systems. We first give a brief review on the historical development of the rotorcraft …

Problems in the motion control of aircraft are of perennial interest to the control engineer as
they tend to be of complex and nonlinear nature. Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying …

Identification Modeling and Characteristics of Miniature Rotorcraft introduces an approach to
developing a simple and effective linear parameterized model of vehicle dynamics using the …

In this paper, we present the design of the flight control algorithms for flapping wing
micromechanical flying insects (MFIs). Inspired by the sensory feedback and neuromotor …

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 …

This paper presents a mathematical model for a model‐scale unmanned helicopter robot,
with emphasis on the dynamics of the flybar. The interaction between the flybar and the main …

In this paper, a mixed robust feedback linearization with linear GH controller is applied to a
non linear quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. An actuator saturation and constrain on state …

In this paper an experimental identification of dynamic parameters of a four rotors mini
helicopter is presented. An appropriate model for identification and control synthesis is …

In this paper, we address the design of an autopilot for autonomous landing of a helicopter
on a rocking ship, due to rough sea. A tether is used for landing and securing a helicopter to …

This paper presents a novel application of backstepping controller for autonomous landing
of a rotary wing UAV (RUAV). This application, which holds good for the full flight envelope …
