Abstract
A multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) slung load system (SLS) is a nonlinear dynamics with eight degrees of freedom and four inputs that can be used for load transportation. The suspended payload can be modelled as a two degree-of-freedom pendulum attached to the UAV. This paper presents a path-following control (PFC) for an SLS. The PFC renders motions along any smooth Jordan curve in R3 for payload position controlled-invariant. This property has practical benefits over traditional time-based trajectory tracking. Furthermore, the PFC prescribes UAV yaw and a desired payload speed profiles along the path. The PFC adopts dynamic extension and input-output state feedback linearisation. The closed-loop has a 1-dimensional zero-dynamics which is shown to be bounded. Hence, the PFC error dynamics is exponentially stable. Simulations are provided to validate the design.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
