An Aerial Robot Achieving Bimodal Flight and Independent Attitude Control through Passive Morphing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.This article presents a bimodal aerial robot capable of operating in both standard quadcopter and revolving flight modes. With four rotors, it independently controls position and roll‐pitch attitude across five degrees of freedom. The design features passive revolute joints, allowing seamless mid‐air transitions between modes using centrifugal forces ...

Quadcopter Aggressive Maneuvers along Singular Configurations: An Energy-Quaternion Based Approach
Journal of Control Science and Engineering, 2016 Automatic aggressive maneuvers with quadcopters are regarded as a highly challenging control problem. The aim is to tackle the singularities that exist in a vertical looping maneuver. Modeling singularities are resolved by writing the equations-of-motion

NONLINEAR H∞ CONTROLLERS FOR UNDERACTUATED COOPERATIVE MANIPULATORS
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005 SUMMARYIn this paper, two nonlinear $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ control techniques are used to solve the position control problem of underactuated cooperative manipulators. The first technique consists in representing the nonlinear system in a quasi-linear parameter varying form and the solution is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities.
