Learning-based Trajectory Tracking for Bird-inspired Flapping-Wing Robots

arXiv

Bird-sized flapping-wing robots offer significant potential for agile flight in complex environments, but achieving agile and robust trajectory tracking remains a challenge due to the complex aerodynamics and highly nonlinear dynamics inherent in flapping-wing flight. In this work, a learning-based control approach is introduced to unlock the versatility and adaptiveness of flapping-wing flight.

Development of a tube-launched tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle

International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles

This paper describes the development and flight testing of a tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform that has the potential to be tube-launched. Integrated with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, the platform can perform high-endurance loiter tasks along with low-speed and hovering flights, and land vertically in limited spaces.

A Fully Mechanical Realization of PID Controller

Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology

PID controller is one of the most widely used control elements in the industry. Over history, people have implemented the PID controller mechanically with pneumatical components, electronically in circuits, or digitally using DSP. However, the pure mechanical realization of PID controllers is rarely studied.
