In recent years, research and development in aerial robotics (ie, unmanned aerial vehicles,
UAVs) has been growing at an unprecedented speed, and there is a need to summarize the …

Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) rely heavily on visual sensors to perceive obstacles and
explore environments. Current UAVs are limited in both perception capability and task …

Abstract Multirotor Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) have become essential in many
applications like surveillance, disaster management, and aerial inspection. The diverse …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are widely used in the field for tasks that require 3-D
movements in space. The simultaneous demand for heavy payload capacity, long operating …

Single rotor-base unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent the most minimalistic design
to implement an aerial vehicle. We describe here a mono-rotor UAV, also named mono …

We present the control design, system integration, and free flight evaluation of a novel 227 g
swashplateless coaxial helicopter. This micro aerial vehicle (MAV) achieves authority over …

Abstract Micro Aerial Robots (MARs) are expected to increase their payload carrying
capacity and flight time, and to serve in limited areas. These demands can only be met by …

This letter presents a novel tilt-rotor octocopter that can generate tiltable thrust without the
need for servo-driven mechanisms. The octocopter's eight rotors are divided into pairs and …

This paper presents the design, dynamical model, and experimental investigation of an
articulated rotor that affords cyclic pitch authority in small unmanned air vehicle rotorcraft …

This work introduces a directly coil-actuated cyclic pitch control method for the swashplate-
less aircraft. This method drives the rotor to rotate periodically around the pitch axis through …
