In the application of adaptive flight control, significant issues arise due to limitations in the plant inputs, such as actuator displacement limits, actuator rate limits, linear input dynamics, and time delay. A method ...

In considering the problem of formation control in the deployment of intelligent munitions, it would be highly desirable, both from a mission and a cost perspective, to limit the information that is transmitted between ...

Building aircraft with navigation and control systems that can complete flight tasks is complex, and often involves integrating information from multiple sensors to estimate the state of the vehicle. This paper describes ...

The Georgia Tech aerial robotics team has developed a system to compete in the International Aerial Robotics Competition, organized by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems, International. The team is a multi-disciplinary ...

The global stabilization of asymptotically null-controllable linear systems with bounded controls has been studied extensively. An early contribution was by Teel [6] who proposed a set of nested saturators to globally ...

A method of adaptive output feedback design for uncertain nonlinear systems is presented. The development is in a form that is suitable for augmenting a linear controller. The approach is applicable to non-affine, non-minimum ...

We consider the problem of adaptive output feedback control in the presence of saturating input characteristic. The adaptive control architecture augments an existing linear control design. The approach is applicable to ...
