Abstract :
We present a comprehensive description of the physical principles of robotic airship operation, along with their dynamic model in a form suited for controller design and computer simulation. Based on the dynamic model, airship response modes are analyzed and control challenges are pointed out. The present work provides a starting point for robotics and control researchers interested in utilizing airships as robotic aerial vehicles
