Abstract Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have a variety of applications in our daily life that
have attracted the attention of many researchers around the world. There are a variety of …

Since the birth of bio-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicles, a controversial topic, ie,
whether and to what extent a flapping wing can outperform conventional micro rotors, has …

This study proposes a flatness-based fixed-time sliding mode control strategy to address the
trajectory tracking problem for a quadrotor with external disturbances. Based on the …

This article presents a fuzzy adaptive control law (FACL) designed for tracking the trajectory
of a low-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), based on a new fuzzy adaptive neural …

Quadrotors have been used in many areas such as cargo transportation, agriculture, and
search and rescue. The low energy density of power sources and the low energy efficiency …

In this paper, a robust geometric navigation algorithm, designed on the special Euclidean
group SE (3), of a quadrotor is proposed. The equations of motion for the quadrotor are …

Wind disturbance may significantly reduce the flight control performance of quadrotors when
flying. In order to meet high performance flight control requirements, this paper presents a …

A Kalman filter-based wind estimation method is presented in this paper for wildfire
monitoring. Wind behavior is one of the key factors in fire propagation, especially on the …

This paper presents a study on the design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of a
quadcopter with toroidal propellers manufactured using 3D printing technology. The …

Blade flutter in the last stage is an important design consideration for the manufacturers of
steam turbines. Therefore, the accurate prediction method for blade flutter is critical. Since …
