Quadcopter Tracking Using Euler-Angle-Free Flatness-Based Control
Aeris El Asslouj, Hossein Rastgoftar
Quadcopter trajectory tracking control has been extensively investigated and implemented in the past. Available controls mostly use the Euler angle standards to describe the quadco…
Fast and Safe Aerial Payload Transport in Urban Areas
Aeris El Asslouj, Harshvardhan Uppaluru, Hossein Rastgoftar
This paper studies the problem of fast and safe aerial payload transport by a single quadcopter in urban areas. The quadcopter payload system (QPS) is considered as a rigid body an…
A Finite-State Fixed-Corridor Model for UAS Traffic Management
Hamid Emadi, Ella Atkins, Hossein Rastgoftar
This paper proposes a physics-inspired solution for low altitude Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) in urban areas. We decompose UTM into spatial and temporal…
A Concurrent Switching Model for Traffic Congestion Control
Hossein Rastgoftar, Xun Liu, Jean-Baptiste Jeannin
We introduce a new conservation-based approach for traffic coordination modeling and control in a network of interconnected roads (NOIR) with switching movement phase rotations at…
Quadrotor Formation Flying Resilient to Abrupt Vehicle Failures via a Fluid Flow Navigation Function
Matthew Romano, Harshvardhan Uppaluru, Hossein Rastgoftar +1
This paper develops and experimentally evaluates a navigation function for quadrotor formation flight that is resilient to abrupt quadrotor failures and other obstacles. The naviga…
Real-Time Deployment of a Large-Scale Multi-Quadcopter System (MQS)
Hossein Rastgoftar
This paper presents a continuum mechanics-based approach for real-time deployment (RTD) of a multi-quadcopter system between moving initial and final configurations arbitrarily dis…
Drones Practicing Mechanics
Harshvardhan Uppaluru, Hossein Rastgoftar
Mechanics of materials is a classic course of engineering presenting the fundamentals of strain and stress analysis to junior undergraduate students in several engineering majors.…
