Consensus Control of Second-Order Multiagent Systems with Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Journal of Control Science and Engineering, 2018 This paper considers the consensus problem of second-order multiagent systems. Firstly, an improved consensus control protocol is proposed. Then, the convergence of the proposed control protocol is analyzed by applying Lyapunov stability theory. In order

Automated Cinematography with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
CoRR, 2017 The rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and their increasing use in the cinema industry calls for the creation of dedicated tools. Though there is a range of techniques to automatically control drones for a variety of applications, none have considered the problem of producing cinematographic camera motion in real-time for shooting purposes. In this paper

Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,

Affine Formation Maneuver Control for Multi-Agent Based on Optimal Flight System
Applied SciencesThe use of affine maneuver control to maintain the desired configuration of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms has been widely practiced. Nevertheless, the lack of capability to interact with obstacles and navigate autonomously could potentially limit ...

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2018 We address the consensus control problem of time-varying delayed multiagent systems with directed communication topology. The model of each agent includes time-varying nonlinear dynamic and external disturbance, where the time-varying nonlinear term ...

Below Horizon Aircraft Detection Using Deep Learning for Vision-Based Sense and Avoid
, 2019 Commercial operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would benefit from an onboard ability to sense and avoid (SAA) potential mid-air collision threats. In this paper we present a new approach for detection of aircraft below the horizon.

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline
Oikos, EarlyView.Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.
