This book discusses state estimation and control procedures for a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The authors consider the use of robust adaptive Kalman filter algorithms and demonstrate their advantages over the optimal Kalman filter in the context of the difficult and varied environments in which UAVs may be employed. Fault detection and isolation (FDI) and data fusion for UAV air-dat…
Over time, technological developments in aeronautics have a bigger impact in all aspects of human life and, surely, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in this process. The main aim of this book is to make a contribution to progress in UAV technology, especially in the sense of autonomous control, and that is achieved in three stages: fault-free estimation of UAV paramet…
