An intelligent, heuristic path planner for multiple agent unmanned air systems

, 2015
In situ observations of atmospheric variables are currently obtained with radiosondes, collecting data along uncontrolled trajectories. As an alternative, we propose an unmanned air system comprising a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles, released from ...

Real‐time lithology identification while drilling based on drill cuttings image analysis with ensemble learning

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A lithology identification while drilling method was developed, integrating an automated cuttings sampling system, a smart drilling rig, and an ensemble learning model. Underground trials achieved 97.42% accuracy in real‐time identification of cuttings lithology and composition, enhancing hazard management and supporting unmanned drilling technology in

Optimization of Unmanned Driving Obstacle Detection Method

Mathematical Modeling and Algorithm Application
In order to effectively enhance the accuracy of obstacle detection in unmanned driving on roads, this paper proposes an improved Faster-RCNN object detection model. Diverging from conventional Faster-RCNN models that replace the feature extraction network with ResNet50 instead of VGG16 and deepen the convolutional layers, allowing for a more ...

Dignity's Dilemma: Categorical Objections to Autonomous Weapons and Their Pacifist Entailments

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dignity objections to autonomous weapon systems are prominent in contemporary military ethics, yet their theoretical foundations remain underexamined. This article reconstructs those foundations, showing what categorical dignity objections require to function as absolute prohibitions.
