Controllability in nonlinear systems

open access: yesJournal of Differential Equations, 1973
AbstractIn this paper we obtain an explicit expression for the reachable set for a class of nonlinear systems. This class is described by a chain condition on the Lie algebra of vector fields associated with each nonlinear system. These ideas are used to obtain a generalization of a controllability result for linear systems in the case where ...

Geometric Surface-Based Tracking Control of a Quadrotor UAV

open access: yes, 2018
New quadrotor UAV control algorithms are developed, based on nonlinear surfaces composed of tracking errors that evolve directly on the nonlinear configuration manifold, thus inherently including in the control design the nonlinear characteristics of the
