| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This report presents a framework for development and control of a smart unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The framework provides a smart and feasible way of automatic landing control and wind direction/velocity estimation. To achieve the automatic landing control, we construct a nonlinear dynamical model and design a stable altitude controller based on the nonlinear dynamics. In addition, a nonlinear observer is designed to estimate wind direction/velocity during flight of the small UAV. Several long flight experiments have been carried out in an aerospace field, Japan. The experimental results show the capabilities of the framework for development and control of a smart UAV in realizing rescue missions.
