Associate Professor and Researcher of Control Systems at the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA/Brazil) since 2009, where he has hold the position of Head of the Mechanical Engineering Division (2023-2024). He also coordinates the Air Robotics Laboratory (LRA) at ITA. As an academic background, he holds PhD and masters degree in Systems and Control from ITA (2011, 2008) and BS in Control and Automation Engineering from the Federal University of Itajubá/Brazil (2004). He was a Visiting Researcher at Université Paris-Est/ESIEE/Paris/France in 2013 and at Pennsylvania State University/USA in 2018, in both situations having worked in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) of multirotor aerial vehicles (drones and eVTOL aircraft). In 2014, he founded the Air Robotics Laboratory (LRA) at ITA and, since that year, has offered several undergraduate and graduate courses in GNC for drones and eVTOL aircraft. In the same theme, he has been contributing strongly to the community, through scientific articles, consultancies, technological development projects, and training many engineers, masters and doctors with great leadership capacity.

In the last decade, the multirotor aerial vehicles (MAVs) have become popular in research and in relatively simple applications such as aerial photography, structural inspection, and crop monitoring. On the one hand, we can observe the maturation of the autonomy capacity of MAVs that are now commercially available and, on the other hand, the desire for solutions in highly critical applica…
This project will deal with the attitude determination (AD) of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using vector measurements taken from a single camera. The camera is fixed to the vehicle structure and points downwards. The AD from vector measurements consists in a well-investigated topic in the literature related to aerospace systems. In this area, the typical vector measurements …
New ways of urban air transportation have attracted attention in the past few years. These solutions aim to reduce the traffic congestion that many people around the world have to undergo every day to get to their workplace, as well as to use clean energy. Therefore, large multirotor aerial vehicles have been studied to undertake this task in such areas. This proposal seeks to investigate…
In the last few years, the multirotor aerial vehicles (MAVs) have found many applications. In most cases, the operation could become more effective and efficient if the flight duration and payload capacity were extended. A very simple way to improve an MAV in these two aspects is by combining it with a helium balloon that provides a net aerostatic lift counteracting the total weight of th…
