Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UASs) have become a growing threat to the security of critical infrastructure, exploiting spatiotemporal gaps in sensor perimeters to infiltrate restricted airspace undetected. We formulate this interaction as a…

We demonstrate that the error dynamics of a thrusting spacecraft are nearly group affine on the $SE_2(3)$ Lie group, and the nonlinearity can be bounded, or removed with the application of a dynamic inversion control law. A numerical…

Most of the rigid-body systems which evolve on nonlinear Lie groups where Euclidean control designs lose geometric meaning. In this paper, we introduce a log-linear backstepping control law on SE2(3) that preserves full…

We present a hierarchical safe auto-taxiing framework to enhance the automated ground operations of multiple unmanned aircraft systems (multi-UAS). The auto-taxiing problem becomes particularly challenging due to (i) unknown disturbances,…

This paper presents an approach that employs log-linearization in Lie group theory and the Newton-Euler equations to derive exact linear error dynamics for a multi-rotor model, and applies this model with a novel log-linear dynamic…

We present a high-fidelity Mixed Reality sensor emulation framework for testing and evaluating the resilience of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) against false data injection (FDI) attacks. The proposed approach can be utilized to assess the…

Strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINS) are ubiquitious in robotics and engineering since they can estimate a rigid body pose using onboard kinematic measurements without knowledge of the dynamics of the vehicle to which they are…

In this paper, we use the derivative of the exponential map to derive the exact evolution of the logarithm of the tracking error for mixed-invariant systems, a class of systems capable of describing rigid body tracking problems in Lie…
