Power performance of a model floating wind turbine subjected to cyclic pitch motion: A wind tunnel study
Fernando Porté Agel, Guiyue Duan, Daniele Gattari
Wind tunnel experiments were performed with a miniature floating wind turbine model to study the effects of cyclic pitch motion on its power performance. The cyclic pitch motion was prescribed by two key parameters: pitch frequency and amplitude. The power ...
IOPscience2024Who says you are so sick? An investigation on individual susceptibility to cybersickness triggers using EEG, EGG and ECG
In this research paper, we conducted a study to investigate the connection between three objective measures: Electrocardiogram(ECG), Electrogastrogram (EGG), and Electroencephalogram (EEG), and individuals' susceptibility to cybersickness. Our primary obje ...
2024Identifying 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 ...

The success of drone missions is incumbent on an accurate determination of the drone pose and velocity, which are collectively estimated by fusing inertial measurement unit and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements. However, during a GNSS ...
2023Large-eddy simulation of a wind-turbine array subjected to active yaw control
This study validates large-eddy simulation (LES) for predicting the flow through a wind turbine array subjected to active yaw control. The wind turbine array consists of three miniature wind turbines operated in both non-yawed and yawed configurations unde ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022Passive Perching with Energy Storage for Winged Aerial Robots
Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, William John Stewart, Luca Guarino
Perching in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offers the possibility of extending the range of aerial robots beyond the limits of their batteries. It has been a topic of intense study for multirotor UAVs. Perching in winged UAVs is harder because a kinetic e ...
2021Comparative dynamic flight stability of insect-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicles in hover: Longitudinal and lateral motions
In this paper, we compare the characteristics of hovering stability for two insect-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FW-MAVs) with different strategies to generate control moments for the longitudinal and lateral attitude controls. The two robots ...
ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER2021Experimental investigation and analytical modelling of active yaw control for wind farm power optimization
Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong
In this study, the physics and effectiveness of active yaw control under various wind conditions are investigated systematically, based on wind tunnel experiments and a new analytical wind farm model. The power and wake velocity measurements of a three-row ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Downside Up:Rethinking Parcel Position for Aerial Delivery
Dario Floreano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, William John Stewart, Mir Alikhan Bin Mohammad Feroskhan
The conventional approach to parcel placement in most delivery drone designs today is to place the parcel centrally beneath the drone's rotor plane. However, if the parcel is too large, this will result in an obstruction of the propeller slipstream, incurr ...
