Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard): An Aerial Robotic Swarm for Autonomous Detection and Entrapment of Rogue Multirotors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard) is introduced as a four‐drone swarm that autonomously detects, tracks, and safely captures rogue drones using a coordinated net system. Computer vision and leader–follower control architecture enable synchronized enclosure, while integrated failsafes enhance system reliability. Validated through closed‐environment

Control Design for UAV Quadrotors via Embedded Model Control

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2020
In this paper, a control system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is designed, tested in simulation by means of a high-fidelity simulator, and then applied to a real quadrotor UAV. A novel approach is proposed for the control design, based on the combination of two methodologies: feedback linearization (FL) and embedded model control (EMC). FL allows

Modeling and Control of a Quadrotor UAV

, 2022
Given the increasing use of quadrotor vehicle applications, this project seeks to iden-tify critical trade-offs with respect to modeling, control and vehicle design. With thisgoal, we focus on a very generic/standard quadrotor configuration. A two controlnonlinear 3DOF (degree of freedom) model for the vehicles longitudinal dynamics isused as the basis
