Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Trajectory Tracking of Differentially Flat Fixed-Wing Aerial Systems
Nishanth Bobbili, Pratyaksh Rao, Luca Morando +2
Planning and control of fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are challenging due to nonlinear dynamics, aerodynamic limits, and environmental disturbances. Differential flatn…
Flying Together: Human-Guided Immersive Shared Control for Aerial Robot Teams in Unknown Environments
Lou De Bel-Air, Luca Morando, Ruitao Chen +7
While autonomous multi-robots can achieve safe and coordinated navigation, they often struggle to adapt to unforeseen conditions and to capture operator-driven objectives in unstru…
Wind-Aware Optimal Trajectory Planning for Efficient Gliding of Fixed-Wing Aerial Systems
Luca Morando, Nishanth Bobbili, Giuseppe Loianno
Gliding offers small fixed-wing UAVs extended endurance and silent operation but requires accurate energy management, especially under wind disturbances and obstacle constraints. T…
Intuitive Human-Drone Collaborative Navigation in Unknown Environments through Mixed Reality
Sanket A. Salunkhe, Pranav Nedunghat, Luca Morando +3
Considering the widespread integration of aerial robots in inspection, search and rescue, and monitoring tasks, there is a growing demand to design intuitive human-drone interfaces…
Trajectory Planning and Control for Differentially Flat Fixed-Wing Aerial Systems
Luca Morando, Sanket A. Salunkhe, Nishanth Bobbili +5
Efficient real-time trajectory planning and control for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles is challenging due to their non-holonomic nature, complex dynamics, and the additional u…
