Deep Reinforcement Learning based Control Design for Aircraft Recovery from Loss-of-Control Scenario
Imran Sayyed, Aayush Konar, Nandan Kumar Sinha
Loss-of-control (LOC) remains a leading cause of fixed-wing aircraft accidents, especially in post-stall and flat-spin regimes where conventional gain-scheduled or logic-based reco…
Modeling and Bifurcation Analysis of Longitudinal Dynamics of an Air-Breathing Hypersonic Vehicle
Kavita Shekhawat, Nandan Kumar Sinha
A nonlinear model of an Air-Breathing Hypersonic Vehicle (ABHV) longitudinal dynamics characterized by coupling of aerodynamic and propulsive terms is presented in this paper. The…
Complex Aircraft Maneuvering using Reinforcement-Learning-Augmented Sliding Mode-Based Control
Imran Sayyed, Nandan Kumar Sinha
Learning-based controllers leverage nonlinear couplings and enhance transients but seldom offer guarantees under tight input constraints. Robust feedback like sliding-mode control…
Decentralized Aerial Transportation and Manipulation of a Cable-Slung Payload With Swarm of Agents
Aniket Sharma, Nandan K Sinha
With the advent of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) in commercial sectors, their application for transporting and manipulating payloads has attracted…
