Design of Control Laws and State Observers for Fixed-Wing UAVs: Simulation and Experimental Approaches provides readers with modeling techniques, simulations, and results from real-time experiments using linear and nonlinear controllers and state observers. The book starts with an overview of the history of UAVs and the equations of motion applied to them. Following chapters analyze linear and nonlinear controllers, state observers, and the book concludes with a chapter discussing testbed development and experimental results, equipping readers with the knowledge they need to conduct their own stable UAV flights whether in simulation or real-time. - Presents aerodynamic models for fixed-wing UAVs that can be used to design control laws and state observers - Applies linear and nonlinear control theories and state observers to fixed-wing UAVs - Provides real-time flight and simulation test results of fixed-wing UAVs with linear and nonlinear controllers
Desde su aparición, los drones o vehículos aéreos no tripulados se han convertido en un estudio y un reto para la ingeniería y la ciencia. Es por ello que este libro va más allá de su estudio científico, se presenta la aplicación de los drones como herramienta para la solución de algunas tareas en ingeniería civil y como ayuda para el desarrollo y análisis de proyectos de los arquitectos. Gracias a esta lectura, conocerá: • Los alcances de un dron para la solución de tareas en ingeniería civil y arquitectura. • Los drones y el software que podrían ayudar a mejorar sus habilidades o empresa. • Las nuevas tecnologías que ayudan a obtener mejores resultados. • Algunos conceptos básicos sobre topografía, inspección de obra y estructuras. Si desea realizar levantamientos topográficos, inspecciones de obra e inspecciones de estructuras metálicas o de hormigón, un dron y este libro serán sus grandes aliados para hacerlo fácil y con éxito.
Marta Traba, one of Latin America's most controversial art critics, examines the works of over 1,000 artists from the first 80 years of the 20th century. This book is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in studying the evolution of Latin American art.
Multi-rotor Platform Based UAV Systems provides an excellent opportunity for experiential learning, capability augmentation and confidence-building for senior level undergraduates, entry-level graduates, engineers working in government agencies, and industry involved in UAV R&D. Topics in this book include an introduction to VTOL multi-copter UAV platforms, UAV system architecture, integration in the national airspace, including UAV classification and associated missions, regulation and safety, certification and air traffic management, integrated mission planning, including autonomous fault tolerant path planning and vision based auto landing systems, flight mechanics and stability, dynamic modeling and flight controller development. Other topics covered include sense, detect and avoid systems, flight testing, including safety assessment instrumentation and data acquisition telemetry, synchronization data fusion, the geo-location of identified targets, and much more.
Motivados por el 50 aniversario de la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Comunicación, este libro es el resultado del trabajo de académicos del ITESO y de su Departamento de Estudios Socioculturales que, de manera comprometida y profesional, asumieron la pertinencia de objetivar y compartir los desafíos que a lo largo de medio siglo ha enfrentado la apuesta de formación universitaria de comunicadores en la Universidad.
This is the first book to combine classical vehicle dynamics with electronic control. The equation-based presentation of the theory behind vehicle dynamics enables readers to develop a thorough understanding of the key attribute to both a vehicle's driveability and its active safety. Supported by MATLAB tools, the key areas that affect vehicle dynamics are explored including tire mechanics, the steering system, vehicle roll, traction and braking, 4WS and vehicle dynamics, vehicle dynamics by vehicle and human control, and controllabiliy. As a professional reference volume, this book is an essential addition to the resources available to anyone working in vehicle design and development. Writt...
