Abstract :
In this paper, we stabilize the planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft using a camera. The camera is used for measuring the position and orientation of the PVTOL moving on a inclined plane. We have used a simple control strategy to stabilize the system in order to simplify the real experiments. The proposed control law ensures convergence of the state to the origin.
