Agile quadrotor flight in challenging environments has the potential to revolutionize
shipping, transportation, and search and rescue applications. Nonlinear model predictive …

Over the last decade, the use of autonomous drone systems for surveying, search and
rescue, or last-mile delivery has increased exponentially. With the rise of these applications …

Quadrotors are extremely agile, so much in fact, that classic first-principle-models come to
their limits. Aerodynamic effects, while insignificant at low speeds, become the dominant …

This paper investigates a nonlinear robust fault tolerant control method for rejecting wind
disturbances and accommodating actuator faults in quadrotor attitude system. Actuator faults …

Multicopters are among the most versatile mobile robots. Their applications range from
inspection and mapping tasks to providing vital reconnaissance in disaster zones and to …

In order to further expand the flight envelope of quadrotors under actuator failures, we
design a nonlinear sensor-based fault-tolerant controller to stabilize a quadrotor with failure …

The letter investigates how the behavior of small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is
influenced by the system's close proximity to the ground/rigid surfaces both at hover and in …

A comprehensive multirotor noise assessment framework is developed to predict the noise
of rotational-speed-controlled rotor configurations in real-time. The key objectives are to …
