Know about the book -

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is written by Rogelio Lozano and published by John Wiley & Sons. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1118599861 (ISBN 10) and 9781118599860 (ISBN 13).

This book presents the basic tools required to obtain the dynamical models for aerial vehicles (in the Newtonian or Lagrangian approach). Several control laws are presented for mini-helicopters, quadrotors, mini-blimps, flapping-wing aerial vehicles, planes, etc. Finally, this book has two chapters devoted to embedded control systems and Kalman filters applied for aerial vehicles control and navigation. This book presents the state of the art in the area of UAVs. The aerodynamical models of different configurations are presented in detail as well as the control strategies which are validated in experimental platforms.
