In this work, we present an Integrated Guidance and Controller (IGC) scheme to drive quadcopters in path-following tasks with obstacle avoidance and constant uncertainty rejection. This scheme is based on the combination of a time-varying artificial vector field and Backstepping with integral action…
The present work focuses on the development of an efficient path controller to guide a fixed-wing UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to follow a closed curve and avoid unknown dynamic obstacles. Our strategy is composed of two layers: a top level layer responsible for guidance and a lower level layer res…
This paper presents a guidance vector field strategy to control a fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)subject to uncertainty in order to converge to and circulate a closed curve in ℝ3. The control system is designed based on a reference model of the airplane with constrained input controls. The…
