Among the key technologies of Multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) leader–follower formation control, formation reconfiguration technology is an important element to ensure that multiple UAVs can successfully complete their missions in a complex...
Pedestrian detection and tracking are critical functions in the application of computer vision for autonomous driving in terms of accident avoidance and safety. Extending the application to drones expands the monitoring space from 2D to 3D but compli...
Accurate terrain models are critical for studying the formation and development of slot canyons. However, for slot canyon landforms, it is challenging to generate comprehensive and high-resolution morphological data by individual observation due to t...
The control of an aerial flexible joint robot (FJR) manipulator system with underactuation is a difficult task due to unavoidable factors, including, coupling, underactuation, nonlinearities, unmodeled uncertainties, and unpredictable external distur...
RPAS (Remotely piloted aircraft systems, i.e., drones) present an efficient method for mapping schooling coastal forage fish species that have limited distribution and abundance data. However, RPAS imagery acquisition in marine environments is highly...
Field surveys in wetlands are limited by the difficulty in accessing the site, hazards during surveys, and the risk of disturbing the ecosystem. Thus, the use of unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) can overcome these limiting factors and can assist in...
Next generation mobile networks are expected to integrate multiple drones organized in Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) to support demanding and diverse services. The highly mobile drones should always be connected to the network in order to satisfy t...
Updated concrete construction robots are designed to optimize equipment operation, improve safety, enhance workspace awareness, and further ensure a proper working environment for construction workers. The importance of concrete construction robots h...
Timely and accurate prediction of crop yield prior to harvest is vital for precise agricultural management. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide a fast and convenient approach to crop yield prediction, but most existing crop yield models have rare...
Remote-sensing processes based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have opened up new possibilities to both map and extract individual plant parameters. This is mainly due to the high spatial data resolution and acquisition flexibility of UAVs. Among t...
