About

Ihannah P. Guedes is a leading researcher in the field of autonomous aerial robotics, with a primary focus on the motion control and stabilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Her work addresses one of the most critical challenges in drone technology: maintaining stable flight amidst fast, highly coupled nonlinear dynamics. Guedes has pioneered the use of fuzzy logic to intelligently tune cascaded-PID controllers, eliminating the need for exhaustive manual parameter adjustments. Her landmark 2022 paper, "Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling PID for UAV Position and Altitude Controllers," has garnered 49 citations, while her foundational 2021 study on fuzzy tuning of cascaded-PID gains has been cited 30 times. These contributions have provided a robust, adaptive framework that significantly enhances UAV stability during complex maneuvers, making autonomous flight more reliable and accessible. By simplifying the control design process, Guedes’s research has had a direct impact on advancing practical UAV applications, from surveillance to delivery systems, establishing her as a key innovator in intelligent flight control systems.
