“…For instance, the linear quadratic regulator and model predictive controllers studied by Sandino et al [13] and Ngo and Sultan [16] are optimal with respect to objective functions of specific forms and do not consider the pseudorandom ship motion explicitly. Furthermore, the more commonly used PID controller [5,11,12,14,15], which is a kind of state feedback control, is usually tuned such that the settling time or maximum overshoot is minimized.…”

This paper proposes an invariant ellipsoid-based method for the controller design and gain synthesis of a low-cost quadrotor autonomous ship deck landing system subjected to wind disturbance and measurement noise. This method optimizes the quadrotor performance, hence achieving soft landing. A complete control architecture for the quadrotor is also presented. Simulations are performed using a realistic ship deck model in the presence of measurement noise and wind disturbance with a quadrotor. has been with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he is currently an associate professor.

“…These UAVs are capable of takeoff and landing on an aircraft carrier, while the smaller ones are even able to equip the warships [4]. One of the important problems related to naval Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), is the design of an automatic landing system that would enable autonomous landing of a UAV on an aircraft, and a lot of studies has been done on this problems [5,6]. An innovative autonomous carrier landing system for UAVs is proposed in [5], referred to as the Carrier Motion Prediction & Autonomous Landing (CM-PAL) system.…”

“…The system is based on real-time estimation of magnitudes and frequencies of waves encountered by the carrier, and online prediction of the carrier motion. In [6], a linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) design for the helicopter is investigated using linearized models and it is evaluated using the nonlinear model. However, these landing approaches can only be used in the situation where the UAV is close enough to the carrier and the velocity should be in the same direction of the carrier.…”

Abstract-Compared with conventional path planning method, the path planning for carrier based UAVs has its own characteristics, especially in its return section. Firstly, the fuel carried with the UAV is limited, so that the UAV is expected to return to the carrier as soon as possible after the task is finished. Secondly, the carrier, which is moving at a certain speed, constrains that the UAV's velocity must be in the same direction with that of the carrier before landing. Thirdly, due to the limited landing space on the carrier, the lateral error between the UAV and the carrier should be minimized. Considering all above, this paper proposes a path planning method aiming at the carrierbased UAV in its return section, and to ensure the UAV to fly along the planned path accurately and with stable attitude, control strategies are designed. To avoid unnecessary detours, the velocity of both the UAV and the carrier is taken into consideration and the estimated landing window is updated when either of the velocity changes. The simulation results show the path and control strategy proposed in the paper are effective.
