This paper uses the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for estimation of position, velocity and
attitude of an UAV of quadrotor type. The sensors used are low cost microelectromechanical …

We address the problem of hover flight and translational velocity regulation of a quad-
rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with the main objective of allowing the vehicle to …

The focus of this chapter is an aircraft propelled with four rotors, called the quadrotor.
Quadrotor was among the first rotorcrafts ever built. The first successful quadrotor flight was …

This research concerns a novel micro-ducted-fan aircraft. A structured attitude controller is
designed for a novel unmanned aerial vehicle in the presence of strong state coupling and …

A real-time attitude stabilization control scheme is proposed for the efficient performance of a
mini-UAV Quad-Rotor. Brushless DC (BLDC) motor speed sensing is performed by reflective …
