Stabilization of n integrators in cascade with bounded input with experimental application to a VTOL laboratory system

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized control law is designed in order to quickly implement it on a system, as choosing a degree n gives all conditions to have a stable system, and in the proposed controller the saturation function bound only one state.

Co-design of a safe network control quadrotor

TL;DR: This paper deals with the co-design of a Network Control System (NCS) and its diagnosis and a new indicator, sensitive to packet losses is proposed and thus changes in the residuals due to faults or to packets can be differentiated.

Quadrotor attitude estimation with data losses

TL;DR: All the scenarios that have been tested show the capability of the filter to properly estimate the quadrotor attitude even in the presence of a high rate of data loss, as well as the ability to be modeled with a random process.

Nonlinear control design for slightly non-minimum phase systems: application to V/STOL aircraft

TL;DR: It is shown that, while straightforward application of the linearization theory to a non-minimum phase system results in a system with a linear input-output response but unstable internal dynamics, designing a feedback control based on a minimum phase approximation to the true system results with desirable properties such as bounded tracking and asymptotic stability.

Adding integrations, saturated controls, and stabilization for feedforward systems

TL;DR: The proposed approach provides feedback laws with several degrees of freedom which can be exploited to tackle design constraints and serves as a basic tool to be used, in a recursive design, to deal with more complex systems.
