Gas Sensing with Rotary-Wing Nano Aerial Vehicles
Harmful chemical compounds are released daily in warehouses, chemical plants and during environmental emergencies. Their uncontrolled dispersion contributes to the pollution of the atmosphere and threatens human and animal lives.When gas leaks occur, their ...
EPFL2024Identifying aerodynamics of small fixed-wing drones using inertial measurements for model-based navigation
Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré
The success of drone missions is incumbent on an accurate determination of the drone pose and velocity, which are collectively estimated by fusing iner- tial measurement unit and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) mea- surements. However, during a G ...

2023Finite element investigation of stability bracing force demands of steel moment resisting frame columns under cyclic loading
This thesis examines the out-of-plane stability bracing of deep wide flange steel columns in moment resisting frames (MRFs) under cyclic loading. This is performed through a detailed continuum finite element analysis including a validation process and a pa ...
2021Drone Shadow Tracking
Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Ruofan Zhou
Aerial videos taken by a drone not too far above the surface may contain the drone's shadow projected on the scene. This deteriorates the aesthetic quality of videos. With the presence of other shadows, shadow removal cannot be directly applied, and the sh ...
2019Material and Energy Flow Analysis and Associated Environmental Impacts of Swiss Mobility
The development of material flow analysis (MFA) on large-scale systems is challenging due to the complexity and breadth of data that are required and the magnitude of the mass flows involved. This is true, for example, when trying to determine the material ...
