Principles of Guidance, Navigation and Control of UAVs

TL;DR: The most significant advances in this field are presented, able to solve fundamental technical limitations; such as visual odometry, obstacle detection, mapping and localization, et cetera.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a comprehensive review of collaborative communication in a multi-UAV system and discuss the characteristics of intelligent UAVs and their communication and control requirements for autonomous collaboration and coordination.

TL;DR: In this article, a number of recent developments in modern Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and investigates the possible impact on autonomous driving architectures are surveyed, and the authors show that incorporating high-integrity GNSS lane determination into vision-based architectures can unlock lanelevel maneuvers and provide oversight to guarantee safety.

TL;DR: A novel and simple method to detect hijacking only based on gyroscopes’ measurements and GPS data, without using any accelerometer in the detection procedure, which is suitable to be implemented in the drones with micro-controllers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical principles of inertial navigation, the associated growth of errors and their compensation, and their application in a broad range of applications are discussed, drawing current technological developments and providing an indication of potential future trends.

TL;DR: This advanced tutorial will describe the GPS signals, the various measurements made by the GPS receivers, and estimate the achievable accuracies, and focus on topics which are more unique to radio navigation or GPS.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of atmospheric flight, with special reference to the stability and control of airplanes, are discussed. But the authors focus on human pilots and handling qualities and flight in turbulence, with numerical examples for a jet transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the methods of Kalman filtering in attitude estimation and their development over the last two decades, focusing on three-axis gyros and attitude sensors.
