Problems in the motion control of aircraft are of perennial interest to the control engineer as
they tend to be of complex and nonlinear nature. Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying …

This paper provides a tutorial view on airship path-tracking under wind disturbances. It
addresses the relevant aspects towards this objective, namely the airship modelling, the …

The complete modeling and simulation of an unmanned vehicle with combined aerial and
underwater capabilities, called Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Underwater Vehicle (HUAUV), is …

Assistive free-flyers (AFFs) are an emerging robotic platform with unparalleled flight
capabilities that appear uniquely suited to exploration, surveillance, inspection, and …

Image-based control of free-flying mechanical systems is addressed, with application to an
indoor vision-guided blimp. A methodology is developed for incorporating the physical …

In this paper we propose a nonlinear control approach for the path‐tracking of an
autonomous underactuated airship. A backstepping controller is designed from the airship …

Robots are becoming increasingly prevalent and are already providing assistance in a
variety of activities, ranging from space exploration to domestic housework. Recent …
