Aerodynamic modeling of a delta-wing UAV for model-based navigation

This study aims to identify an optimal, as well as practical, parametric structure for a delta-wing UAV aerodynamic model for the purpose of model-based navigation. We present a comprehensive procedure for characterizing the aerodynamics of this platform, ...

Mapping GNSS Restricted Environment with a Drone Tandem and Indirect Position Control

Davide Antonio Cucci

The problem of autonomously mapping highly cluttered environments, such as urban and natural canyons, is intractable with the current UAV technology. The reason lies in the absence or unreliability of GNSS signals due to partial sky occlusion or multi-path ...

Flight Dynamics-based Recovery of a UAV Trajectory using Ground Cameras

Pascal Fua, Artem Rozantsev, Sudipta Sinha

We propose a new method to estimate the 6-dof trajectory of a flying object such as a quadrotor UAV within a 3D airspace monitored using multiple fixed ground cameras. It is based on a new structure from motion formulation for the 3D reconstruction of a si ...

Detecting animals in African Savanna with UAVs and the crowds

Stéphane Joost, Devis Tuia

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer new opportunities for wildlife monitoring, with several advantages over traditional field-based methods. They have readily been used to count birds, marine mammals and large herbivores in different environments, tasks ...

A Dynamic Network Approach for Multimodal Urban Mobility

Nan Zheng

Recent advances in traffic flow theory at the network level, namely the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), reveals the existence of well-defined laws of congestion dynamics at aggregated levels. The same knowledge for multimodal networks however is lim ...

A Collision Resilient Flying Robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski

Flying robots that can locomote efficiently in GPS-denied cluttered environments have many applications, such as in search and rescue scenarios. However, dealing with the high amount of obstacles inherent to such environments is a major challenge for flyin ...

Vision-Based Navigation in Autonomous Close Proximity Operations Using Neural Networks

Seyed Mohammad Khansari Zadeh

Tight unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autonomous missions such as formation flight (FF) and aerial refueling (AR) require an active controller that works in conjunction with a precise sensor that is able to identify an in-front aircraft and to estimate its r ...

Response of an Embedded Block Impacted by High-Velocity Jets

Matteo Paolo Elia Antonio Federspiel

High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...
