    • Adaptive Backstepping Control for a Fully-Actuated Rigid-Body in a Dual-Quaternion Framework 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-03-12)
      We address the trajectory tracking problem for a fully actuated rigid-body with unknown mass and inertia parameters and unknown disturbance forces, using an adaptive backstepping controller based on dual-quaternions. We show that the proposed controller, in closed loop with a nonlinear model of the system, renders the equilibrium points uniformly asymptotically stable. The proposed controller ...

    • Aerodynamic Modeling and Estimation of a Fixed-wing UAV 

      Andersen, Tom Stian (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-06-20)

    • Curvature Continuous Path Generation for UAVs based on Generalized Expo-Rational B-Splines 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Bouzidi, Ghada; Kristiansen, Raymond (Peer reviewed; Book; Chapter, 2018)
      This paper proposes a new path-planning algorithm based on GERBS to generate curvature continuous paths. The algorithm blends between a set of local curves generating a global smooth path which also interpolates the midpoint of the curves. Numerical examples are provided which demonstrates the potential of the proposed algorithm.

    • Dual-quaternion backstepping control for a fully-actuated rigid-body 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Johansen, Tor-Aleksander; Kristiansen, Raymond (Peer reviewed; Book; Chapter, 2018-08-16)
      In this paper dual-quaternions are used to model a fully actuated rigid-body. A backstepping-controller that solves the trajectory tracking problem is derived and proved to provide uniform asymptotical stabilization of the error dynamics. Numerical simulations are provided where the controller is compared to existing dual-quaternion tracking controllers and it is shown to have similar performance.

    • Path planning and reactive based control for a quadrotor with a suspended load 

      Corona Sanchez, Jose Juan; Kristiansen, Raymond; Andersen, Tom Stian (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021-06)
      This paper presents a solution to quadrotor cargo transportation, more precisely when cargo is suspended as a sling load. The challenge lies in payload position control and swing attenuation, which we approach by dividing the model into subsystems: attitude quadrotor in free flight, and translational and attitude load dynamics. We propose a solution based on reactive control, in the sense that we ...

    • Path-following in three dimensions using quaternions for a fixed-wing UAV 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-08-08)
      This paper presents a three dimensional guidance strategy for fixed-wing UAVs using quaternions. The algorithm is based on constructing two quaternions, one which makes the UAV fly towards the path and one that makes the UAV follow the path. These two quaternions are then blended together such that the path-following objective is reached. The guidance algorithm is applied to a simple kinematic model ...

    • PD+ based trajectory tracking of the underactuated quadrotor platform using dual quaternions 

      Johansen, Tor-Aleksander; Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-29)
      We address the problem of state feedback trajectory tracking of the underactuated quadrotor platform in the dual quaternion framework through a PD+ tracking controller. The control law negates the need of generating a desired attitude trajectory as the translational error is mapped directly onto the rotational actuators through a virtual frame. More precisely, we show uniform practical asymptotic ...

    • Preliminary Results on Waypoint Tracking for Spacecraft with Actuator Constraints 

      Oland, Espen; Andersen, Tom Stian (Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-07-22)
      This paper presents preliminary results on how to perform waypoint tracking with spacecraft with actuator constraints. It considers a simplified spacecraft model and can be considered a deep space model, and shows how to perform waypoint tracking with only one main thruster together with full attitude control. As the spacecraft reaches close to the waypoint during a deceleration phase that makes the ...

    • Quaternion guidance and control of quadrotor 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2017-07-27)
      This paper addresses the problem of trajectory tracking for underactuated quadrotors. A quaternion based guidance law is proposed which feeds into an attitude control system based on a PD+ control law. The desired attitude from the guidance law is defined such that the attitude control system tries to align the position error along the axis of the translational actuator. Simulation results are ...

    • Quaternion Path-Following in Three Dimensions for a Fixed-Wing UAV Using Quaternion Blending 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Peer reviewed; Book; Chapter, 2018-10-29)
      This paper presents a three dimensional guidance strategy for fixed-wing UAVs using quaternions. The algorithm is based on constructing two quaternions, one which makes the UAV fly towards the path and one that makes the UAV follow the path. These two quaternions are then blended together such that the path-following objective is reached. The guidance algorithm is applied to a simple kinematic model ...

    • Reactive-Based Position Control of an Underactuated Quadrotor 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-07-20)
      This paper addresses the problem of position control or waypoint tracking for an underactuated quadrotor. The proposed control law is what is known as reaction based in the way that the attitude system reacts to errors in the translational motion. This methodology requires no generation of desired attitude or angular velocity and the resulting control law is model-independent in that it does ...

    • Subsumption architecture applied to flight control using composite rotations 

      Oland, Espen; Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel; Journal article, 2016-03-19)
      In this paper the subsumption theory is applied to flight control through composite rotations where multiple tasks can be defined as simple rotations. The tasks can then be arranged as a hierarchy, where the primary task is always fully pursued, and conflicting lower level tasks are removed by the primary rotation. The concept is applied to a group of uavs that move through an urban terrain while ...

    • Underactuated Control of Quadrotors with Collision Avoidance 

      Oland, Espen; Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2013)
      In this paper a saturated controller is derived that solves the translational control problem for underactuated quadrotors. The controller is applied to multiple quadrotors during a formation reconfiguration where the quadrotors move from an initial position to a desired position. The null-space-based behavioral control method is a popular method for avoiding collisions between mobile agents, and ...
