Development of an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that may serve as a mother ship for a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a small autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), in support of surface autonomy in sensing and surveillance missions, is described. The USV development includes implementation of low-level controls, stereovision perception, and a task-oriented high-level planner, which...
In today's advanced technological life, everybody is quite familiar with the significance of efforts to establish safety in our lives. So in this regard, many attempts have been made by researchers and one of them is flying robot's innovation. Self-ruling Quad Copter or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is fundamentally a 4 engine unmanned ethereal vehicle which can fly with no pilot, the development...
This paper is about design and development of an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) for inland water depth monitoring. Water depth measurement a.k.a bathymetry is important for critical areas such as river and water reservoir (dam) to estimate the volume and surface area for environment conservation and safety purpose. Conventionally, in inland water monitoring, the data obtained from the measurements...
UAV is an aircraft without pilot which can fly autonomously. It can fly at a desired altitude, velocity and point exactly by using GPS, attitude system and barometer in a vehicle. It is also able to follow an arbitrary trajectory by designating way-points. The UAV targeted in the current study is a solar-powered UAV which is a joint research project between Tokai University and King Abdulaziz University...
One of fixed-wing aircraft type is the fixed-wing unmanned aircraft or fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The UAV flies without a pilot in the aircraft. All aircraft movements are controlled by an embedded computer or a remote control.
In current literature, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially quadrotors, is one of the hot topics of study which has numerous applications. This paper focuses on modeling the quadrotor in order to improve the empirical results. The procedure consists of four stages: 1) Experimental determination of controller coefficients, 2) Data collection, 3) System identification, 4) Controller redesign...
