Propeller failure is a major cause of multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) crashes. While conventional multirotor systems struggle to address this issue due to underactuation, over-actuated platforms can continue flying with…
Collaborative transportation of cable-suspended payloads by teams of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has the potential to enhance payload capacity, adapt to different payload shapes, and provide built-in compliance, making it attractive for…

Aerial transportation using quadrotors with cable-suspended payloads holds great potential for applications in disaster response, logistics, and infrastructure maintenance. However, their hybrid and underactuated dynamics pose significant…
A new disturbance observer based control scheme is developed for a quadrotor under the concurrent disturbances from a lightweight elastic tether cable and a lumped vertical disturbance. This elastic tether is unusual as it creates a…
Many unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can remain aerodynamically flyable after sustaining structural or control surface damage, yet insufficient robustness in conventional autopilots often leads to mission failure. This paper proposes a…
