Abstract Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) are becoming ever more promising over the
last decade. The Sense and Avoid (S&A) system plays a profoundly important role in …

Since its beginning, around the 50s decade, until present days, the area of unmanned
underwater vehicles (UUV) has considerably grown through time; those have been used for …

With the rapid development of computer technology, automatic control technology and
communication technology, research on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has attracted …

Autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are critical to current and future military, civil,
and commercial operations. Despite their importance, no previous textbook has accessibly …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are mainly used by military and government
organizations, but with low-cost sensors, electronics, and airframes there is significant …

Gain scheduling for nonlinear controller design is described in terms of general features of
the approach and in terms of early examples of applications in flight control and automotive …

We address the problem of position trajectory-tracking and path-following control design for
underactuated autonomous vehicles in the presence of possibly large modeling parametric …

In this paper, a method for accurate path following for miniature air vehicles is developed.
The method is based on the notion of vector fields, which are used to generate desired …

This paper proposes a novel adaptive dynamical sliding mode control based methodology
to design control algorithms for the trajectory tracking of underactuated unmanned …

In this paper, we introduce an approach for the efficient solution of motion-planning
problems for time-invariant dynamical control systems with symmetries, such as mobile …
