Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and Chinese calligraphy seem like two completely unrelated subjects in today's world. UAV, as one of the most advanced technology to date, has gathered much attention lately due to its potentially unlimited applications. Contrarily, Chinese calligraphy is one of the most beautiful and ancient calligraphy art originally developed from China many thousand years ago. Today...
In this paper, we present the development of a reconfigurable hybrid unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV): U-Lion. U-Lion is a small-scale UAV that is capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing flight modes through its unique mechanical design. Mainly built with carbon fiber and Expanded PolyOlefin (EPO) foam, U-Lion is equipped with an array of electronic avionic components which enable...
In this paper, we apply pseudospectral optimal control, a computational algorithm of dynamic optimization, to the problem of helicopter UAV for minimum-time trajectory planning in the presence of obstacles. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear optimal control subject to the dynamics and limitations of helicopter UAVs, in which the obstacles are formulated as inequality constraints by using p-norms...
