    • A robust predictive control for a Quadrotor with an Airsoft-marker 

      Moyano Díaz, Sergio (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-27)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      This project is part of a more ambitious European project which consists on the autonomous inspection of petrol pipes. This inspection is done using a custom design drone equipped with a direction system, called gimbal, ...

    • Controlling a Quadrotor with a Robotic Arm using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control 

      Chávez-Ferrer Marcos, Sebastián (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-01)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      This thesis designs a method to control a quadrotor equipped with a robotic arm. The arm has been developed in Institut de Rob otica i Inform atica Industrial (CSIC-UPC), namely here IRI. During the project, an algorithm ...

    • Development of an automatic guiding system for builder drones 

      Alcaide Jimenez, José Antonio (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-28)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      Covenantee:   Université Catholique de Louvain
      Builder drones have the potential of aiding in construction sites by picking up and depositing masonry units. However, their accuracy is restrained due to drifting, wind and the uncertainty of positioning methods such as ...

    • Gain-scheduling Control of a Quadrotor using the Takagi-Sugeno Approach 

      Ruiz Paz, Diego (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-06-08)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      In this thesis, a Takagi-Sugeno model for an Attitude/Altitude model of a quadrotor system is developed. With this Takagi-Sugeno model, a gain-scheduling state-feedback controller, as well as a state observer, have been ...

    • LPV Control of a Quadrotor 

      Torren Larroya, Abel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-03)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      This master thesis addresses the LPV control of a quadrotor system. The quadorotor model is first transformed to a LPV model respresentation starting from the nonlinear physical model. Then, using the LPV gain-scheduling ...

    • Modelling and control of a quadrotor 

      Martín Alay, Àlex (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya / Zhejiang University, 2013)
      Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
      Restricted access - author's decision
      The aim of this project is to model and control a quadrotor. The project starts introducing the quadrotor and its parts. After that, the project provides the modelling of the dynamics of the quadrotor using the Lagrange-Euler ...

    • Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of a Quadrotor 

      Melgarejo Hernández, Emilio (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-09-05)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      One of the most important features of a quadrotor in order to properly work, generally in some sort of path tracking, is to have a suitable control. This thesis will approach the problem of controlling a quadrotor applying ...
