Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the ability to hover have significant potential for applications in urban or other constrained environments where the combination of fast speed, endurance, and stable ...

The Flight Control System 20 (FCS20) is a compact, self-contained Guidance, Navigation, and Control system that has recently been developed to enable advanced autonomous behavior in a wide range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ...

Linear systems can be used to adequately model and control an aircraft in either ideal steady-level flight or in ideal hovering flight. However, constructing a single unified system capable of adequately modeling or ...

For autonomous helicopter flight, it is common to separate the flight control problem into an inner loop that controls attitude and an outer loop that controls the translational trajectory of the helicopter. In previous ...

For autonomous helicopter flight, it is common to separate the flight control problem into an innerloop that controls attitude and an outerloop that controls the trajectory of the helicopter. The outerloop generates ...

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 ...

Future small UAVs will require enhanced capabilities like seeing and avoiding obstacles, tolerating unpredicted flight conditions, interfacing with payload sensors, tracking moving targets, and cooperating with other ...

Air Traffic conflict detection and resolution (CDR) involves multiple domains, the modeling of physical systems such as aircraft, encoding conflict detection algorithms as well as the procedures(tasks) for conflict ...
