Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks are playing an important role in various areas due
to their agility and versatility, which have attracted significant attentions from both the …

The quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle is a great platform for control systems research as
its nonlinear nature and under-actuated configuration make it ideal to synthesize and …

A method is presented for the rapid generation and feasibility verification of motion primitives
for quadrocopters and similar multirotor vehicles. The motion primitives are defined by the …

In this work, a mathematical model of a quadrotor's dynamics is derived, using Newton's and
Euler's laws. A linearized version of the model is obtained, and therefore a linear controller …

We survey the recent work on micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a fast-growing field
in robotics, outlining the opportunities for research and applications, along with the scientific …

In this paper, a deep reinforcement learning-based robust control strategy for quadrotor
helicopters is proposed. The quadrotor is controlled by a learned neural network which …

The dynamics of a quadrotor are a simplified form of helicopter dynamics that exhibit the
same basic problems of underactuation, strong coupling, multi-input/multi-output design …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly being used for underwater survey
and exploration missions. The expanding mission scope for AUVs highlights the need for a …

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

A control solution for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle encapsulating a nonlinear inner-loop
based on the application of feedback linearization to the attitude and altitude dynamics is …
