Modeling and control of unmanned flying robots

Abstract

The recent decade has witnessed rapid progress in the design and development of autonomous flying robots. The paper closely examines the evolution of modeling and control for such vehicles. Modeling is viewed as an integral part of model-based control synthesis. The first half of the paper is focused on the review of modelling method for unmanned flying robot dynamics. The second half of the paper discusses a wide array of control methodologies that have proposed and reported in the literature. The state of the art of collision avoidance system as well as control for multi flying robots is highlighted.
