- | |||
- | Using saturations function properties and Lyapunov theory, I have developed control laws for two types of flying vehicles, the PVTOL aircraft and the four rotor helicopter. Dynamic models based on Euler-Lagrange and Newton-Euler approaches were developed for the quad-rotor helicopter. Afterwards, some algorithms were developed to control system with delay. We have proposed an analysis of stability of a hybrid control algorithm, i.e. the system representation is given in continuous time while the controller is given in discrete time. | ||

- | Additionally, | ||
- | |||
- | Currently, we have obtained a model of the PVTOL taking into account crosswind. A new control strategy has been proposed to stabilize the aircraft in presence of wind (L. Muñoz thesis). | ||
- | |||
- | All the proposed control strategies are validated in simulations and in real time experiments. And consequently, | ||
