Reconfigurable unmanned aerial vehicles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been developing dramatically due to wars and miniaturisation of technology, which has made the UAV industry a very lucrative business. Research organisations have been funded by various research committees or military groups to push UAV developments at a very fast pace.

Safety Assessment of Transport Aircraft Heavy Equipment Airdrop: An Improved STPA-BN Mechanism

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Aviation safety has been an eternal theme, and safety assessment is taken as the important method to assess the aircraft safety, but it is difficult to assess the safety of a heavy equipment airdrop from a transport aircraft due to mission complexity and

Formation control of a group of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Coordinated motion of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has been a growing research interest in the last decade. In this paper we propose a coordination model that makes use of virtual springs and dampers to generate reference trajectories for a group of ...

Improving the Best-Worst Method Based on Optimal Completion of Incomplete Pairwise Comparison Matrix

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
In this paper, the pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) of the best-worst method (BWM) is regarded as a special incomplete PCM (IPCM), and an improved method based on the optimal completion of the IPCM, called BWM-IPCM, is proposed.

A Computational Method for the Nonlinear Attainable Moment Set of Tailless UAVs in Flight-Control-Oriented Scenarios

open access: yesDrones
Tailless unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) achieve high-agility maneuvers with flight control systems. The attainable moment set (AMS) provides critical theoretical foundations and constraints for their optimization.

Multi-Object Tracking with Distributed Drones’ RGB Cameras Considering Object Localization Uncertainty

open access: yesDrones
Reliable 3D multi-object tracking (MOT) using distributed drones remains challenging due to the lack of active sensing and the ambiguity in associating detections from different views. This paper presents a passive sensing framework that integrates multi-
