Passivity based control for a quadrotor UAV transporting a cable-suspended payload with minimum swing
TL;DR: An Interconnection and Damping Assignment-Passivity Based Control (IDA-PBC) for a quadrotor UAV transporting a cable-suspended payload is developed and the control objective is to transport the payload from point to point, with swing suppression along trajectory.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design and implementation of multirotor aerial-underwater vehicles with experimental results
TL;DR: The design and implementation of a fully-working multirotor Unmanned Aerial-Underwater Vehicle (UAUV) was successfully accomplished, with promising results in both mediums, and seamless transition between them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomous Navigation for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles: Real-Time Experiments Using Computer Vision
TL;DR: A proportional integral derivative controller controller with compensation of the restoring forces is proposed to accomplish trajectory tracking, where a pressure sensor and a magnetometer provide feedback for depth control and yaw, respectively, while the remaining states are provided by the EKF.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
IDA-PBC methodology for a quadrotor UAV transporting a cable-suspended payload
TL;DR: In this article, an Interconnection and Damping Assignment Passivity -Based Control (IDA-PBC) for a quadrotor UAV transporting a cable-suspended payload is designed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
GPS/INS/optic flow data fusion for position and Velocity estimation
TL;DR: This paper presents a simple and easy to implement sensor data fusion algorithm, using a Kalman filter (KF) in a loosely coupled scheme, for estimation of the velocity and position of an object evolving in a three dimensional space.
