Non-linear Control for UAVs
Improving Efficiency and Stability
Our Partnership
The University of Denver's Mohammed Agha, Matthew J. Rutherford, Michail G. Michailadis and Kimon Valavanis, along with scholars from the University of Alabama, Huntsville, collaborated to develop a novel nonlinear control system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system incorporates the various uncertainties that come with a given flight to ensure efficient and stable tracking and control.
