Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Entropy-Weighted TOPSIS-Based Bird Strike Risk Assessment for an Airport

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems
To identify the factors with higher bird strike risk at a certain airport, and to provide a theoretical basis for the airport to develop targeted and dynamic bird strike prevention strategies, this study has established a bird strike risk assessment ...

Factors Study Influencing on Numerical Simulation of Aircraft Windshield against Bird Strike

Shock and Vibration, 2011
The combined model of UniGraphics(UG) and ANSYS-LS-DYNA software and finite element (FE) model of aircraft windshield and windshield structure for bird strike were built. The windshield structure is composed of windshield, framework, arc-frame and gasket.
