Lyapunov Vector Fields for Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Flight Control
TL;DR: In this article, general techniques for constructing vector fields for unmanned aircraft guidance are provided that incorporate Lyapunov stability properties to produce simple, globally stable vector fields in three dimensions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Jude Allred,Ahmad Bilal Hasan,Saroch Panichsakul,William J. Pisano,Peter Gray,Jyh Huang,Richard Han,Dale Lawrence,Kamran Mohseni +8 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a complete implementation of the SensorFlock airborne WSN, spanning the development of the MAV airplane, its avionics, semi-autonomous flight control software, launch system, flock control algorithm, and wireless communication networking between MAVs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Lyapunov Guidance Vector Fields for Unmanned Aircraft Applications
TL;DR: Extensions of the basic LGVF approach are made for each application including: warping the circular pattern to form other closed orbit patterns; driving the center of theLGVF orbit using virtual dynamics; and spacing multiple unmanned aircraft around a circular orbit.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Lyapunov Vector Fields for Autonomous UAV Flight Control 1
TL;DR: In this article, general techniques for construct ing vector fields for UAV guidance are provided that incorporate Lyapunov stability properties to produce simple, globally stable vector fields in 3D.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Autonomous UAV Control Using a 3-Sensor Autopilot
TL;DR: Experimental results of the successful implementation of all aspects of this autopilot system are shown, as well as an example flight where the only human interaction is to send a ‘takeoff’ and ‘land’ command.
