A Computationally Tractable Path-Planning Method for Airborne Wind Energy Systems
Manuel C. R. M. Fernandes, Fernando A. C. C. Fontes
Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) have emerged as a promising renewable energy technology that exploits stronger, more consistent high-altitude winds via tethered airborne device…
Geometric Look-Angle Shaping Strategy for Enclosed Inspection
Amit Shivam, Manuel C. R. M. Fernandes, Sergio Vinha +1
This paper introduces inspection through GLASS, a Geometric Look-Angle Shaping Strategy for enclosed regions using unmanned aerial vehicles. In doing so, the vehicles guidance comm…
Variable L0 Guidance Strategy: Enlarged Operational Envelope and Path-Following
Amit Shivam, Manuel C. R. M. Fernandes, Fernando A. C. C. Fontes +1
This paper presents a geometric and theoretical study of an exponentially varying look-ahead parameter for UAV path-following guidance. Conventional guidance laws with a fixed look…
Automatic Circular Take-off and Landing of Tethered Motorized Aircraft
Sérgio Vinha, Gabriel M. Fernandes, Huu Thien Nguyen +2
We consider a motorized aircraft tethered to a central anchorage point in a configuration similar to a control line model airplane. For this system, we address the problem of autom…
