ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Derivation of the Cramér-Rao Bound in the GNSS-Reflectometry Context for Static, Ground-Based Receivers in Scenarios with Coherent Reflection

Sensors, 2016
The use of the reflected Global Navigation Satellite Systems’ (GNSS) signals in Earth observation applications, referred to as GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R), has been already studied for more than two decades.

GNSS-R Altimeter Based on Doppler Multi-looking

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2014
Measuring ocean mesoscale variability is one of the main objectives of next generation satellite altimeters. Current radar altimeters make observations only at the nadir sub-satellite ground track, which is not sufficient to sample the ocean surface with the required spatial and temporal sampling.

UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...

Modeling the GNSS Rural Radio Channel: Wave Propagation Effects caused by Trees and Alleys [PDF]

, 2009
Among the various physical influencing factors with the potential to degrade the overall performance of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), the behavior of the radio wave propagation channel occupies doubtlessly a central role.

Autonomous GEO Satellite Navigation with Multiple GNSS Measurements [PDF]

, 2009
The poor satellite visibility and the weak signal power of the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal reception in side lobes are the main constraint on the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) determination, however, the situation will improve when multi ...

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...
