The author developed a disk type flight robot equipped with multiple rotors used as an aerial observation platform in 2007. Models
for the system are introduced. A quadratic optimal linear regulator based solution has been proposed. A simulation model is
used to test the controller which successfully tracks a reference trajectory while providing rigidity against external disturbance. For
the fault tolerant control of an eight-rotor VTOL Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), a control allocation scheme is proposed. Also, the
authors have used hybrid flying robotic mechanisms to provide solutions tailored to specific needs. Such examples include a hybrid
lighter-than-air (LTA) balloon (to remotely check tunnels) and tethered kite controlled by multi-rotors, and a wheeled vehicle also
controlled by multi-rotors for efficiently checking bridge cables despite windy conditions
