parameter estimation

Summary Airborne wind energy (AWE) refers to a novel technology capable of harvesting energy from wind by flying crosswind patterns with tethered autonomous aircraft. Successful design of flight controllers for AWE systems relies on the availability …

Precise estimation of position, velocity, and orientation is crucial for robust control in airborne applications such as the fast maneuvering power kites for airborne wind energy generators. In this paper we present a sensor fusion approach for the …
