Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Robotics

Nonlinear Control of Robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: An Integrated Approach presents control and regulation methods that rely upon feedback linearization techniques. Both robot manipulators and UAVs employ operating regimes with large magnitudes of state and control variables, making such an approach vital for their control systems design. Numerous application examples are included to facilitate the art of nonlinear control system design, for both robotic systems and UAVs, in a single unified framework. MATLAB® and Simulink® are integrated to demonstrate the importance of computational methods and systems simulation in this process.

Reviews for Nonlinear Control of Robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: An Integrated Approach

In one volume Vepa has done a very good job of concisely presenting methodologies and theories for realising the control of unmanned aerial vehicles and robots. It is written in such a way that is easy to understand and hence apply. It is like a toolkit of methodologies and equations to understand various Robot platform problems and challenges as well as control theories and approaches one could bring to bear to solve them in various scenarios. It is also a good book for those who are interested in model based design of control systems. The way the book is written enables a reader to read each chapter independently thereby making it suited for a quick read to learn a concept or brush up on one's knowledge. I believe this book will appeal to a wide readership of industrial engineers as well as academics interested in extending the frontiers of control theory on UAVs and Robots. - The Aeronautical Journal, May 2018 Issue
