This paper presents reduction theorems for stability, attractivity, and asymptotic stability of
compact subsets of the state space of a hybrid dynamical system. Given two closed sets Γ …

We consider the hovering control problem for a class of multi-rotor aerial platforms with
generically oriented propellers, characterized by intrinsically coupled translational and …

Focusing on tilted hexarotors, we propose two control architectures that can tackle the
position trajectory tracking task, ensuring also the attitude regulation. One is designed …

The adoption of the dual quaternion formalism to represent the pose (position and
orientation) of a rigid body allows to design a single controller to regulate both its position …

This paper proposes a self-triggered control policy for a general kind of nonlinear system,
ensuring robust performance under various perturbations and alleviating communication …

Aerial robotics is increasingly becoming an attractive field of research thanks to the peculiar
mixture of theoretical issues to be solved and technological challenges to be faced. In …
