Paper Title: On the Equivalence of Sensory and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion

Authors: Simon F. Hafner, Tomaso M. L. De Ponti, and Ewoud J. J. Smeur

Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI)–based control laws, such as incremental NDI and the recently introduced sensory NDI, differ primarily in the allocation of pseudo-controls and are widely applied in the aerospace control domain. This paper provides a rigorous comparison of both methods, demonstrating their equivalence for specific systems and control-allocation designs, and presents flight-test results of sensory NDI on a Variable Skew Quad Plane.
