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