2016
Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics
Differently from the classical trajectory tracking approach, maneuver regulation does not require following a timed reference state, but a geometric "path" with a velocity (and possibly orientation) profile ...
In this paper we design a nonlinear controller for aggressive maneuvering of a quadrotor. We take a maneuver regulation perspective. ...
