Agile and Cooperative Aerial Manipulation of a Cable-Suspended Load

We propose a trajectory-based framework for agile and robust manipulation of cable-suspended loads using multiple quadrotors.

Decentralized Aerial Manipulation of a Cable-Suspended Load using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

A fully decentralized algorithm enabling multiple UAVs to collaboratively manipulate a cable-suspended load using multi-agent reinforcement learning.

Proximal cooperative aerial manipulation with vertically stacked drones

We have addressed the long-standing challenge of controlling and exchanging tools between two multirotor UAVs operating in close vertical proximity.

Uncertainty Modeling Enabled Meta Adaptive Control for Aerial Manipulators

Meta Adaptive Control for Aerial Manipulators.

Nonlinear MPC for Quadrotor Fault-Tolerant Control

We study the performance of using nonlinear MPC on quadrotor fail-safe problem. The result is amazing.

A Comparative Study of Nonlinear MPC and Differential-Flatness-Based Control for Quadrotor Agile Flight

We systematically compare two state-of-the-art flight controllers for quadcopter agile flights, nonlinear MPC and differential-flatness-based controller.

Model Predictive Contouring Control for Near-Time-Optimal Quadrotor Flight

This work proposes a novel control methods for quadcopter agile flights using model-predictive-contouring control.

Performance, Precision, and Payloads: Adaptive Nonlinear MPC for Quadrotors

We propose L1-MPC, an adaptive-model-predictive control framework showing impressive performance against model uncertainties and disturbances.

Upset Recovery Control for Quadrotors Subjected to a Complete Rotor Failure from Large Initial Disturbances

We introduce a flight controller that can recover a quadrotor with one rotor complete off from arbitrary initial orientations and body rates.
