A dual quaternion is a compound of a unit quaternion and a translational vector, using the dual number formalization, such that the real part represents the rotation and the dual part, the translation transformation. Since the unit dual quaternion can be used to represent the rigid body dynamics in the 3D space, then the error dual quaternion can be used to design feedback control laws for both set-point stabilization, and attitude and position tracking. Simulation results using a rigid-body model are presented to show the performance of the dual quaternion formalism for simultaneous attitude and position control. © 2024 IEEE.}, keywords = {Parameterized; Trajectory tracking; position control; Real part; Rigid body; Tracking (position); Formalisation; Rigid structures; attitude control; attitude control; dual number; Dual quaternion; Dual quaternion; Quaternion; Quaternion; Unit quaternion; trajectory-tracking; Rigidbody dynamics}, year = {2024}, pages = {309-314} } @article{MTMT:34689545, title = {Extended Linear Regression and Interior Point Optimization for Identification of Model Parameters of Fixed Wing UAVs}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34689545}, author = {Alsudany, Huda and Lantos, Béla}, doi = {10.12700/APH.21.6.2024.6.4}, journal-iso = {ACTA POLYTECH HUNG}, journal = {ACTA POLYTECHNICA HUNGARICA}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {34689545}, issn = {1785-8860}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1785-8860}, pages = {69-88} } @inproceedings{MTMT:34256591, title = {PD control and the unwinding effect in quaternion parameterized attitude control}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34256591}, author = {Kimathi, Stephen and Lantos, Béla}, booktitle = {IEEE 27th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems 2023 (INES 2023)}, doi = {10.1109/INES59282.2023.10297790}, unique-id = {34256591}, year = {2023}, pages = {67-72} } @article{MTMT:34256533, title = {Robust Aerodynamic Parameter Estimation of Unmanned Aircraft Based on Two-step Identification}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34256533}, author = {Kimathi, Stephen and Lantos, Béla}, doi = {10.3311/PPee.21948}, journal-iso = {PERIOD POLYTECH ELECTR ENG COMP SCI}, journal = {PERIODICA POLYTECHNICA-ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE}, volume = {67}, unique-id = {34256533}, issn = {2064-5260}, abstract = {This paper presents the estimation of stability and control derivatives of an unmanned aircraft. The aerodynamics are described using regressors composed of velocity, angular rates, flow angles and control surface deflections. The flight data is generated from numerical simulation of postulated equations of motion describing the aerodynamics model. Least squares based on the equation error method is used to estimate the parameters representing the different force and moment aerodynamic coefficients. Statistical analysis is done on the estimates to determine the accuracy and adequacy of the estimates to describe the aerodynamic model. A dynamic simulation based on the identified aerodynamic model is used to improve the parameter estimates through regression of the errors between the flight data and the model response.
