Over the past decades, quadcopters have been investigated, due to their mobility and flexibility to operate in a wide range of environments. They have been used in various areas, including surveillance and monitoring. During a mission,…

We present a novel method of integrating image-based measurements into a drone navigation system for the automated inspection of wind turbines. We take a model-based tracking approach, where a 3D skeleton representation of the turbine is…

With rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, application of the UAVs for task offloading has received increasing interest in the academia. However, real-time interaction between one UAV and the mobile edge computing…

Decentralized drone swarms deployed today either rely on sharing of positions among agents or detecting swarm members with the help of visual markers. This work proposes an entirely visual approach to coordinate markerless drone swarms…

In many applications, robots autonomous deployment is preferable and sometimes it is the only affordable solution. To address this issue, virtual force (VF) is one of the prominent approaches to performing multirobot deployment…

Many drone-related applications (e.g., drone-aided video capture, drone traffic and safety management) require group communications between drones to efficiently disseminate data or reliably deliver critical information, making use of the…

Developing the flocking behavior for a dynamic squad of fixed-wing UAVs is still a challenge due to kinematic complexity and environmental uncertainty. In this paper, we deal with the decentralized flocking and collision avoidance problem…
