Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

Research on Low-Altitude Aircraft Point Cloud Generation Method Using Single Photon Counting Lidar
PhotonicsTo address the deficiency of aircraft point cloud training data for low-altitude environment perception systems, a method termed APCG (aircraft point cloud generation) is proposed. APCG can generate aircraft point cloud data in the single photon counting

Subterranean Mine Inspection Using the Prometheus Re‐Configurable Drone
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper describes the design, development, and real‐world testing of an autonomous drone for subterranean exploration, known as “Prometheus.” Driven by requirements from industry that the drone be able to be deployed through areas of restricted access, Prometheus was designed to be directly deployed through a 150 mm aperture.

The Constitutional and Counterterrorism Implications of Targeted Killing : Hearing Before the S. Judiciary Subcomm. on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Human Rights, 113th Cong., April 23, 2013 (Statement by Professor Rosa Brooks, Geo. U. L. Center) [PDF]
, 2013 Mr. Chairman, the mere mention of drones tends to arouse strong emotional reactions on both sides of the political spectrum, and last week\u27s tragic events in Boston have raised the temperature still further.

DuckNet: an open‐source deep learning tool for waterfowl species identification in UAV imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Using drones with thermal‐RGB sensors and a deep learning model (RetinaNet with ResNet‐50), we surveyed non‐breeding waterfowl across restored wetlands in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Our model, DuckNet, achieved high accuracy and offers an open‐source, customizable tool for automated waterfowl detection to support conservation monitoring ...

IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2018 Organ transportation has yet to be substantially innovated. If organs could be moved by drone, instead of ill-timed commercial aircraft or expensive charter flights, lifesaving organs could be transplanted more quickly. A modified, six-rotor UAS was used
