This paper describes the development of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with the aid of a vision processing system for indoor navigation. A co-axial radio-controlled (RC) helicopter is upgraded with a customized on-board avionics system which include two Gumstix Linux computer systems as the on-board processors. A camera module is used to capture real time video during the flight to perform real...
In recent years, research and development of unmanned vehicles have gained much attention in the academic and military communities worldwide. Objects like unmanned aircraft, underwater exploiters, satellites and intelligent robotics are widely investigated as they have potential applications in both military and civilian domains. We present in this paper a brief overview on miniature fixed-wing unmanned...
We document in this article a general introduction to modern miniature unmanned rotorcraft systems. More specifically, we present a fairly detailed overview on the hardware configuration, software integration, aerodynamic modeling, automatic flight control system, and computer vision system involved in forming an unmanned rotorcraft system.
In this paper the most general H2 control problem is considered. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions when the infimum is attained by state feedback. We do the same for the measurement feedback case where we derive necessary and sufficient conditions when the infimum is attained by proper dynamic compensators. We also investigate reduced order compensators if some states are observable without...
