The landing of a fixed-wing UAV on top of a mobile landing platform requires a cooperative control strategy, which is based on relative motion estimates. These estimates typically suffer from communication or processing time delays, which can render an otherwise stable control system unstable. Such
Despite being one of the most robust methods in bilateral teleoperation, Time Domain Passivity Approach (TDPA)presents the drawback of accumulating position drift between master and slave devices. The lack of position synchronization poses an obstacle to the performance of teleoperation and may prev…
System identification of High Altitude Long Endurance fixed-wing aerial vehicles is challenging as its operating flight envelope covers wide ranges of altitudes and Mach numbers. We present a new global system identification framework geared towards such fixed-wing aerial platforms where the aim is…
The development of solar-powered high-altitude UAV has gained increasing attention in the recent years. Several aircraft have had successful flights in the stratosphere, but despite advances in lightweight design they can only carry small payloads compared to the total takeoff mass. This paper sugge
