Sliding Mode‐Based Control of a UAV Quadrotor for Suppressing the Cable‐Suspended Payload Vibration
This paper addresses the problem of damping vibrations of a cable‐suspended payload during positioning of the quadrotor. A nonlinear model is derived for the coupled quadrotor‐pendulum system in the X-Z plane using Euler–Lagrange formulation. Sliding mode control (SMC) is used for horizontal positioning and payload vibration damping, while a feedback ...

Bridge defects are important indicator for the bridge safety assessment. Considering the cost and inefficiency of the traditional method, the UAV system applied for bridge crack inspection is a better choice. Therefore, we have configured a bridge inspection UAV system with SLR camera, laser rangefinder.

Research on Innovative Trim Method for Tiltrotor Aircraft Take‐Off Based on Genetic Algorithm
Tiltrotor aircraft possesses redundant actuators in take‐off phase and its flight control is more complicated than ordinary aircraft because the structural and dynamic characteristics keep changing due to tilting rotors. One of the fundamental bases for flight control is trim, which provides steady flight states under various conditions and then ...
