This paper solves the tracking control problem for a quadrotor system under the tasks of large-angle rotation and high-speed trajectory tracking. A quadrotor dynamic model is presented taking both disturbances and drag force into account. A reachability control strategy is developed for a quadrotor…
In this paper, we present the positioning control problem for underactuated unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in the presence of unknown external disturbances, such as the wind, waves, and currents. The three control objectives of positioning control for underactuated USVs are, firstly, to retain a p…
This paper presents the development of a new type of robot capable of vertical and directional jumping. The robot uses soft silicone elastomer based pneumatic actuators as legs that accelerate the platform upwards by rapid pressurization. The robot is able to control and adjust the direction of the…
