DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Moy from Beta Technologies will give a seminar on cont
 rol allocation.\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn traditional\, fixed-wing aircraft\, the
  ailerons\, elevator\, and rudder correspond roughly to the roll\, pitch\,
  and yaw axes of motion\, rendering the control allocation problem (i.e. c
 alculating actuator commands from desired body torques) near-trivial. In c
 ontrast\, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft with non-traditional control
  surface configurations (e.g. v-tail) require multiple simultaneous inputs
  to achieve vehicle torque around a single Cartesian axis. Handling this c
 oupling is challenging and is the responsibility of the flight software.\n
 \neVTOL aircraft with minimal performance margins bring with them the addi
 tional challenge of maintaining predictable vehicle behavior when operatin
 g propulsors at their limits. Posing control allocation as an optimization
  problem enables elegant and extensible system behavior. In this talk\, we
  present a family of control allocation schemes that enforce limitations o
 n torque\, speed\, and power.\n\nRoom: 219\, Bldg: UVM Delehanty Hall\, Bu
