In particular, it provides new control design approaches for the attitude synchronization of a formation of rigid body systems. In addition, by integrating new control design techniques with some concepts from nonlinear control theory and multi-agent systems, it presents  a new theoretical framework for the formation control of a class of under-actuated aerial vehicles capable of vertical take-off and landing. Several practical problems related to the systems’ inputs, states measurements, and  restrictions on the interconnection  topology  between the aerial vehicles in the team  are addressed. Worked examples with sufficient details and simulation results are provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the theoretical results discussed in the book. The material presented is primarily intended for researchers and industrial engineers from robotics, control engineering  and aerospace communities. It also serves as  a complementary reading for graduate students involved in research related to flying robotics, aerospace, control of under-actuated systems, and nonlinear control theory.Advances in industrial control.Drone aircraftControl systemsAeronauticsDrone aircraftControl systems.Aeronautics.623629.132/6629.1326Abdessameud Abdelkader1424699Tayebi Abdelhamid1759061MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741179703321Motion coordination for VTOL unmanned aerial vehicles4197432UNINA
