    • 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 ...
