Missions envisioned for Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) such as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) in urban environments require exceptional agility. These missions typically involve flight through or in close proximity to buildings, tunnels and trees, and require the MAVs to maneuver using sharp dives and climbs along with small-radius turns. The small size of MAVs allows such flight operations within confined space but the control effectors must provide sufficient maneuverability, while maintaining stability, with only limited sensing capability onboard the platform. To meet these challenges, researchers have long been attracted by the amazing attributes of biological systems, such as those exhibited by birds and insects. Birds can fly in dense flocks, executing rapid maneuvers with g-loads far in excess of modern fighter aircrafts, and yet never collide with each other, despite the absence of air traffic controllers. This paper introduces a novel framework for the design and control of a Micro Air Vehicle. The vehicle's conceptual design is based on biologically-inspired principles and emulates a dragonfly (Odonata-Anisoptera). The author is borrowing flight mechanism features from the dragonfly and merging them with indigenous designs in creating a novel version of a Flapping Wing MAV, called the QV. The QV design incorporates the simplicity of mechanical construction and the complexity of a sophisticated multi-layered Hybrid & Linear / Non-Linear controller to achieve extended flight times and improved agility compared to other Rotary and Flapping Wing MAV designs. The paper talks about the design and control features of the proposed QV design and gives an overview on the developmental efforts been made towards the prototyping of the QV flyer. The potential applications for such a high endurance vehicle are numerous, including air-deployable mass surveillance in cluster and swarm formations. The disposability of the vehicle would help in battle-field

We propose a distributed event-triggered control law to solve the consensus problem for multi-agent systems with nonlinear output. Under the condition that the underlying digraph is strongly connected, we establish sufficient conditions on the nonlinear output function and initial states to guarantee that the event-triggered controller realizes consensus. Then the results are extended to the case where the underlying directed graph contains a directed spanning tree. These theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.
control barrier functions (CBFs) have been widely used for synthesizing controllers in safety-critical applications. When used as a safety filter, it provides a simple and computationally efficient way to obtain safe ...

Piezoelectric actuators show dependency of the output displacement on the rate of change of the applied input voltage. In this paper, a rate-dependent Prandtl-Ishlinskii model is developed to characterize the time-dependent hysteresis in the piezoelectric actuators. This model employs the dynamic threshold and weighting values formulated on the speed of the input voltage. The validation of the rate-dependent Prandtl-Ishlinskii model is demonstrated by comparing its out responses with the measured responses obtained for a piezoelectric actuator under different input frequencies. Finally, a feedforward controller with an inverse rate-dependent Prandtl-Ishlinskii model is designed to account for the dynamic hysteresis. The results show that the hysteresis nonlinearities are significantly reduced at both the lower and higher frequencies.
In recent years, with the increase in the variety of communication devices, as well as the rapid development of the Internet of Things, edge computing, and machine learning, the existing security solutions can neither...
