Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Toward Complex In‐Car Environment Human–Vehicle Interactions Through Smart Glasses and sEMG‐Based Gesture Recognition

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel weighted random forest multimodal fusion method that combines smart glasses and sEMG data for in‐vehicle gesture interaction. It realizes stable performance in dim, occluded, and other constrained scenarios, providing feasible solutions and laying a foundation for universal human–machine interaction.

Modeling of an unmanned hybrid aerial vehicle

2014 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2014
In this paper, the mathematical modeling of ahybrid aerial vehicle is presented. This vehicle is a combinationof a fixed-wing aircraft and a multirotor helicopter. Thisvehicle is thus capable of vertical take off and landing (VTOL)and of cruising forward flight.

Distributed State Estimation for Mobile Robots in LiDAR Sensor Networks With Intermittent Inertial Measurements

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable distributed observer framework for LiDAR sensor networks is presented for robust tracking and pose estimation of mobile robots. By combining adaptable 3D detection, clustering‐based communication reduction, and intermittent inertial fusion, accurate and efficient estimation is achieved under occlusions and sensing constraints, with formally ...

Radar Countermeasures for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

, 2021
Over the last ten years, the numbers of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) or “drones” have changed from being just a few specialist systems, used for scientific data gathering and military purposes, to them proliferating in huge numbers.

A guidance system for unmanned air vehicles

2013 21st Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2013
Unmanned air vehicle system is composed of control station, payload, air vehicle, navigation and communication subsystems. Among these, navigation and guidance are most important subsystems. By using the lateral and vertical navigation guidance systems, the planned flight transition of the UAV can be realized from departure waypoint to the target.

Mapping Lupinus polyphyllus density and distribution along road verges using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Road verges function as refuges for semi‐natural species, but they can also facilitate the spread of non‐native plants such as Lupinus polyphyllus. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing is a promising tool for mapping these species; however, its application in roadside contexts remains limited.

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...
