Control Law Design for Twin Rotor MIMO System with Nonlinear Control Strategy

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2016
Modeling of complex air vehicles is a challenging task due to high nonlinear behavior and significant coupling effect between rotors. Twin rotor multi-input multioutput system (TRMS) is a laboratory setup designed for control experiments, which resembles

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Flight Dynamics Modeling and Verification for a Novel Compound Rotorcraft Considering Rotor/Propeller/Fuselage Aerodynamic Interference

open access: yesDrones
The flight controllability and safety of unmanned compound rotorcraft are closely related to their aerodynamic characteristics. During forward flight, complex aerodynamic interference effects arise among the rotor, propeller, wing, fuselage, and ...

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Development of tail rotor power analysis model with feasibility study of electrical tail rotor.

open access: yes, 2016
In recent years, there has been significant work undertaken by the aviation industry to increase the overall rotorcraft performance, and eventually, eliminate leak prone hydraulic fluids and to reduce CO₂ emissions. Even though a mechanical-gearbox-driven tail rotor has been extensively used in several applications, it comes at the expense of high life

Developing a low‐cost drone‐based method for deploying and retrieving autonomous recording units in inaccessible areas

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Autonomous recording units (ARUs) are increasingly used for passive acoustic monitoring, but deploying them in remote or inaccessible locations remains challenging. We developed and field‐tested a lightweight, low‐cost floating platform for drone‐assisted deployment and retrieval of ARUs in wetland interiors.

Optimization of Wind‐PV Co‐Generation Systems Using Artificial Bee Colony and Back‐to‐Back Voltage Source Converter

open access: yesIET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract depicts the proposed Artificial Bee Colony algorithm‐based optimal tuning of PI controllers for back‐to‐back Voltage Source Converters in a hybrid wind–PV system. ABSTRACT This paper proposes a hybrid model‐based back‐to‐back voltage‐source converter (B2B‐VSC) system comprising a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Permanent Magnet ...
