Nonlinear automatic control of fixed-wing aerial vehicles

Abstract— This paper presents design and validation of a vehicle lateral controller for autonomous trajectory following based on Immersion and Invariance (I&I) principle.. The

tation tracking, position error, linear velocity and acceleration track- ing, lateral force control input, and measured rotor velocities... List of

This work shows the application of this optimization method to optimize the inputs gains, the location and size of the different membership functions’ sets of each variable, as well

The goal is to prove the feasibility of such a real-time optimization-based control design and to demon- strate its tracking capabilities for the nonlinear dynamics with respect to

Since the reference trajectory is available beforehand, an optimization problem which minimizes the tracking error for the vehicle is formulated in a predictive control framework..

There are also different types of rotary-wing UAVs, which can be classified as: helicopter UAVs, cyclogyro UAVs, autogyro UAVs or gyrodyne UAVs, depending on

This paper proposes an observer-estimator-controller scheme for trajectory tracking control of the quadrotor: a fixed-time differentiator running in parallel with a dynamic
