Liability issues of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
OCEANS 2018 MTS/IEEE Charleston, 2018 Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are a widespread technology nowadays. USVs of all kinds and shapes are used for a variety of applications from scientific research to transportation. However, safety and regulatory issues still prevent the exploitation of the full potential of USVs.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Optimal control surface mixing of a rhomboid-wing unmanned aerial vehicle [PDF]
, 2017 This paper describes a method for determining an optimal control allocation function for aircraft with an unconventional control surface setup (i.e., that does not consist of a conventional elevator, rudder, and ailerons).

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.
