A unified control strategy for autonomous aerial vehicles
Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become popular in a wide range of applications, including many military and civilian uses. State-of-the-art control strategies for these vehicles are typically tailored to a specific platform and are often ...
Maxims for malfeasant designers, or how to design languages to make programming as difficult as possible
ICSE '76: Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Software engineering

Communication with the computer is by artificial languages: programming languages and command languages, as well as ad hoc languages of messages. While many such languages are sufficiently rich to permit proper expression of what must be said, some are ...
Guidance and nonlinear control system for autonomous flight of minirotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicles

Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming popular among researchers and vital platforms for several autonomous mission systems. In this paper, we present the design and development of a miniature autonomous rotorcraft weighing less than 700 g ...
