Turbojet-powered VTOL UAVs have garnered increased attention in heavy-load transport and emergency services, due to their superior power density and thrust-to-weight ratio compared to existing electronic propulsion systems. The main…

This paper focuses on dynamic control allocation for a hexarotor UAV platform, considering a trajectory tracking task as as case study. It is assumed that the platform is dual-tilting, meaning that it is able to tilt each propeller…

As roles for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) continue to diversify, the ability to sense and interact closely with the environment becomes increasingly important. Within this paper we report on the initial flight tests of a novel adaptive…

This article presents a guidance-control design methodology for the autonomous maneuvering of tailsitter unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in hybrid flight regimes (i.e. the dynamics between VTOL and fixed wing regime). The tailsitter…

Modular Aerial Robot Systems (MARS) comprise multiple drone units with reconfigurable connected formations, providing high adaptability to diverse mission scenarios, fault conditions, and payload capacities. However, existing control…

This paper discusses the design and the performance achievable with active aerodynamic attitude control in very low Earth orbit, i.e. below 450 km in altitude. A novel real-time algorithm is proposed for selecting the angles of deflection…

We address the challenge of real-time planning of minimum-time trajectories over multiple waypoints, onboard multirotor UAVs. Previous works demonstrated that achieving a truly time-optimal trajectory is computationally too demanding to…

Many robotic systems are underactuated, meaning not all degrees of freedom can be directly controlled due to lack of actuators, input constraints, or state-dependent actuation. This property, compounded by modeling uncertainties and…

This paper addresses the design and application controller for a small-size unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In this work, the main objective is to study the modeling and attitude controller design for a small size helicopter. Based on a…

This paper introduces for the first time the design, modelling, and control of a novel morphing multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that we call the OmniMorph. The morphing ability allows the selection of the configuration that…

Multilinked aerial robot is one of the state-of-the-art works in aerial robotics, which demonstrates the deformability benefiting both maneuvering and manipulation. However, the performance in outdoor physical world has not yet been…

This paper presents and validates active interaction force control and planning for fully actuated and omnidirectional aerial manipulation platforms, with the goal of aerial contact inspection in unstructured environments. We present a…

The recent development of novel aerial vehicles capable of physically interacting with the environment leads to new applications such as contact-based inspection. These tasks require the robotic system to exchange forces with…

This paper presents a new flight control framework for tilt-rotor multirotor uncrewed aerial vehicles (MRUAVs). Tiltrotor designs offer full actuation but introduce complexity in control allocation due to actuator redundancy. We propose a…

This paper addresses the problem of thrust estimation and control for the rotors of small-sized multirotors Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Accurate control of the thrust generated by each rotor during flight is one of the main challenges…

Transportation missions in aerospace are limited to the capability of each aerospace robot and the properties of the target transported object, such as mass, inertia, and grasping locations. We present a novel decentralized adaptive…

This paper presents a model of an agile tail-sitter aircraft, which can operate as a helicopter as well as capable of transition to fixed-wing flight. Aerodynamics of the co-axial counter-rotating propellers with quad rotors are analysed…

The advent of automated vehicles operating at SAE levels 4 and 5 poses high fault tolerance demands for all functions contributing to the driving task. At the actuator level, fault-tolerant vehicle motion control, which exploits functional…

As the number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating in low-altitude airspace continues to increase, non-cooperative targets pose growing challenges to low-altitude operations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a…
