Abstract: This paper investigates global uncertainty propagation and stochastic motion planning for the attitude kinematics of a rigid body. The Fokker–Planck equation on the special orthogonal group is numerically solved via ...

Abstract: This paper presents a geometric adaptive position tracking control system for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. In particular, the attitude control system is designed on the product of the two-dimensional unit sphere ...

Abstract: This paper presents the full dynamics and control of arbitrary number of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) transporting a rigid body. The rigid body is connected to the quadrotors via flexible cables where each ...

Abstract: This paper presents nonlinear tracking control systems for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under the influence of uncertainties. Assuming that there exist unstructured disturbances in the translational dynamics ...

Abstract: New high-order time-integration schemes for fully elastic models are presented. The new schemes, formulated using the Richardson extrapolation that employs leapfrog-type schemes, can give a good performance for linear model ...

Abstract: This paper presents tracking strategies for the attitude dynamics of a rigid body that are global on the configuration space SO(3) and semiglobal over the phase space SO(3)×ℝ3. It is well known that global attractivity is ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations and the analysis of observational data are employed to understand the mesoscale cyclogenesis in a polar airstream that occurred over the sea to the east of the Korean peninsula on 28?29 January 1995. ...

Abstract: This study 1) presents a logistic regression equation of the snow ratio (SR) for use in a conversion of numerically predicted precipitation amounts into snowfall depths and 2) examines the quality of snowfall-depth forecasts ...
