Features of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for agriculture applications

open access: yesAviation, 2013
Micro-UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) with a total weight below 5 kg are interesting alternative carriers for agricultural applications. Compared to standard airborne aerial surveys, UAVs are much more flexible and weather independent. As a result, micro-

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is envisioned by the FAA that by 2016 UAVs will be flying in the NAS in fairly large numbers. There will be an increased need for TE potential hazards cannot be easily mitigated by aircrew action. Human factors and workload must be evaluated with respect to the envisioned mission, which may require long missions at remote sites.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
