In the last decades, research efforts related to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have grown substantially in terms of control stabilization and navigation strategies. However, the energy available on board is finite and ...

This work presents a dynamic model for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), a validation of this model together with the simulator obtained from its application and an implementation of sliding mode reference conditioning ...

This paper presents a path following control design for an autonomous surface vessel. The boat considered presents three degrees of freedom being driven by two independent propellers placed at its stern and is represented ...

This article proposes a path-following controller for robotic wheelchairs (RW) used to transport people suffering of severe muscular diseases, taking into account velocity bounds and dynamic effects. A parameterized dynamic ...

In this paper, a new model predictive controller forpath following of periodic references is proposed. This controllercombines trajectory planning and tracking stages in a singleoptimization problem for a given periodic ...

In this article, the path following and trajectorytracking problems for constrained vehicles are tackled by meansof a unified Model Predictive Control strategy. State and inputconstrains are taken into account, and additional ...

This paper addresses the problem of finding a non-holonomic path subject to a curvature restriction, to be tracked by a wheeled autonomous navigation vehicle. This robot is able to navigate in a structured environment, ...
