Efficient Path Planning Algorithms for Unmanned Surface Vehicle

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2016
Abstract: The C-Enduro Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is designed to operate at sea for extended periods of time (up to 3 months). To increase the endurance capability of the USV, an energy efficient path planning algorithm is developed. The proposed path planning algorithm integrates the Voronoi diagram, Visibility algorithm, Dijkstra search ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced 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.

Water Monitoring System using Unmanned Surface Vehicle

International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2020
In today’s world where climate activists focus more on large water bodies like seas and oceans, many smaller water bodies which lie neglected are also being contaminated. These smaller bodies also affect the groundwater, which goes unnoticed. The system checks parameters such as turbidity, temperature and pH levels. In addition to these monitoring, the

Grip and Grasp: Lizard Claw Inspired Robotic Manipulators

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Our study identifies the most effective lizard claw shape for use as an end effector in a bioinspired robotic manipulator. By examining key geometric features and combining them into comparative indices, the Crotaphytus collaris claw is found to be the best fit.

Nonlinear Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicle [PDF]

, 2016
An Unmmaned Surface Vehicle is a marine vehicle which has a complicated nonlinear model and partially uncertain parameters in its model. Therefore, an USV needs an advance control technique to solve this complicated problem.

From Design to Prototype: High‐Sensitivity Tri‐Mode Operation Photodetectors Based on 1T‐2H Hybrid MoS2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a phase‐engineered MoS2 photodetector that dynamically switches among photocapacitive (PCC), photovoltaic (PV), and photoconductive (PC) modes. By transforming the traditionally parasitic capacitance into an active signal source, the device achieves self‐powered, high‐sensitivity detection with a fast response of 19.2 ms, and a ...
