Technological developments over the past two decades have resulted in the development of
more accurate and lightweight low-cost magnetic and inertial measurement units (MIMUs) …

The actual performance of model-based path-following methods for unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) shows considerable dependence on the wind knowledge and on the fidelity …

Focusing on generalized sensor combinations, this paper deals with the attitude estimation
problem using a linear complementary filter (CF). The quaternion observation model is …

The high maneuverability of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) exposes these
systems to several dynamical and parametric uncertainties, severely affecting the fidelity of …

This paper is prepared within a collaboration between the Instituto Politécnico Nacional,
which is a Mexican research institute that manages research on sliding-mode control theory …

This paper discusses the design and software-in-the-loop implementation of adaptive
formation controllers for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with parametric …

This paper proposes a new nonlinear fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) scheme for the
inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor of an unmanned quadrotor helicopter (UQH). To …

This article presents the design of a fault diagnosis strategy to deal with faults in multiple
actuators in a quad-rotor under the influence of external disturbances. The faults are …

This article presents a novel direct filtering approach for loosely coupled global positioning
system (GPS) and inertial navigation system (INS) integration. The proposed model is …

A complementary filter is presented for the attitude estimation using inertial and magnetic
sensors. The proposed filter is based on a new attitude representation, where 4-D …
