This paper describes mechanism the quadcopter with on-board sensors. This quadcopter consists of four rotors, four straight legs, and a disk-shaped body. The body is mainly composed of a lightweight, very rigid carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and resin composite. A 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that contains accelerometer and gyroscope and magnetometer is installed in the body to measure...
Use of a Quadrotor is considered as one of the methods to inspect infrastructures such as a tunnel or a bridge. In such a case, it needs to control the position of the airframe. Note, however, that it is difficult to realize the position control using GPS in environments, such as in a tunnel or under a bridge, because there is a problem, such as the weakness of the GPS signal or the incomplete reaching...
This paper presents automated navigation control of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based on visual data gathered by onboard camera. With depletion of easy resources and health, safety and environmental (HSE) challenges in exploiting newly found resources in hostile conditions are forcing oil and gas companies to look for robotic solutions for their problems. Pipelines carrying inflammable and toxic...
The concept of a Smart City is becoming an increasingly important research area around the world. The amount of information collected and the number of stationary sensors, surveillance cameras and other devices that need to be places in a smart city is so vast that using a mobile platform to replace them can reduce the cost in both energy and resources. This paper proposes an open source intelligent...
