Description

Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying Machines is an exposition of models developed to assist in the motion control of various types of mini-aircraft: / Planar Vertical Take-off and Landing aircraft; / helicopters; / quadrotor mini-rotorcraft; / other fixed-wing aircraft; / blimps. For each of these it propounds: / detailed models derived from Euler-Lagrange methods; / appropriate nonlinear control strategies and convergence properties; / real-time experimental comparisons of the performance of control algorithms; / review of the principal sensors, on-board electronics, real-time architecture and communications systems for mini-flying machine control, including discussion of their performance; / detailed explanation of the use of the Kalman filter to flying machine localization. To researchers and students in nonlinear control and its applications Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying Machines provides valuable insights to the application of real-time nonlinear techniques in an always challenging area.

Author Biography:

Rogelio Lozano has worked in worked at a number of institutions with a high reputation for control engineering -- the University of Newcastle in Australia, Nasa's Langley Research Center and now as CNRS Research Director at the University of Compiegne. He is a very experienced author in the control field being an associate editor of both Automatica and International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing. He is the co-author of 3 previous titles for Springer all of them in the Communications and Control Engineering series: Landau, I.D., Lozano, R. and M'Saad, M.
