    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles and related methods and systems are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a processor to determine whether a first location of an unmanned vehicle and a second location of a virtual event is within a threshold distance; and a game experience controller to: control the unmanned vehicle based on a first command associated with a non-augmented state of the unmanned vehicle in response to the first location of the unmanned vehicle and the second location of the virtual event being outside of the threshold distance; and in response to the first location of the unmanned vehicle and the second location of the virtual event being within the threshold distance, control the unmanned vehicle based on a second command associated with an augmented state of the unmanned vehicle to simulate the unmanned vehicle being affected by the virtual event.

    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for tracking a trajectory by rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are described herein. An example trajectory tracking controller includes an altitude controller to calculate an output value of a thrust control variable based on a trajectory of a rotorcraft independent of one or more system parameters of the rotorcraft. The example trajectory tracking controller also includes an attitude controller to calculate output values of roll, pitch, and yaw control variables based on the trajectory independent of the one or more of the system parameters. The example trajectory tracking controller further includes a motor speed selector to select speeds for propeller motors of the rotorcraft based on the output values of the thrust, roll, pitch, and yaw control variables and activate the propeller motors based on the selected motor speeds.
