Payload transportation and manipulation by rotorcraft drones are receiving a lot of attention
from the military, industrial and logistics research areas. The interactions between the UAV …

In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge in the development and research of
tethered aerial systems, thus reflecting a growing interest in their diverse applications. Long …

For the target attack mission of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm, the heterogeneous
and large-scale characters usually bring about the uneven allocation problem. In the present …

This paper addresses the problem of finite-time control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
system subject to input saturation and external disturbance. The dynamic model of the UAV …

Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles, with excellent maneuver performance and flexibility,
are widely used in cargo transportation. Due to higher requirements for load capacity, dual …

This paper presents a novel control and planning algorithm for cooperative slung-load
transportation using multiple quadrotors. Each aerial robot modeled as a quadrotor is …

Cable-suspended load carried by multiple unman-ned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has
applications in many areas. However, most existing aerial load transportation works are …

This paper focuses on the uncertainty propagation in the flight performance of multirotor-type
unmanned aerial vehicles from the systematic perspective in conceptual design phase. The …

This review paper focuses on quadrotor-and multirotor-based cooperative aerial
manipulation. Emphasis is first given to comparing and evaluating prototype systems that …

This paper investigates a cooperative fixed-time control for networked-delayed and
disturbed quadrotors in payload transportation missions. First, the input time-delayed …
