Control design for UAVs

Participants : Frédéric Mazenc [correspondent] , Michael Malisoff [Louisiana State University] .

In [14] , we studied a kinematic model that is suitable for control design for high level formation flight of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). We designed controllers that give robust global tracking for a wide class of reference trajectories in the sense of the robustness notion called input-to-state stability. The control laws satisfy amplitude and rate constraints.
