Aerial recovery of micro air vehicles (MAVs) presents a challenging problem in multi-vehicle dynamics and control. This paper presents a method for recovering MAVs in flight using a mothership and towed drogue, in which the mothership executes an orbit that places the drogue in a stable, slower orbit that can be tracked by a MAV. The differential flatness property of the system is exploited to calculate...
In recent years, the Department of Defense and NASA have imposed significant resources on developing advanced launch technologies. Reusable launch vehicle (RLV) program is one of such efforts to take the place of space shuttles for RLVs. Our previous research proposed a scheme of motion primitives (MPs) and neighboring optimal control (NOC) to deal with on-line failure recovery for an RLV during approach...
An articulated aerial work platform is a type of off highway vehicle with a long/flexible beam to provide temporary access to inaccessable areas. The motivation of the research is to improve productivity and safety of the work platform via advanced control schemes. In this paper, a motion control architecture is presented for trajectory tracking and vibration suppression. By using the sensors integrated...
