Platelet extraction requires whole blood to be processed within six hours of donation. To meet this deadline, blood collection organizations must optimally route a fleet of vehicles to pick up blood units from donation sites and deliver…
Emergency preparedness reduces the severity and impact of major disasters. In the case of earthquakes, a rapid and efficient emergency response is essential to reduce the number of fatalities. Therefore, the design and planning of an…
Drones have become essential in various applications, but conventional quadrotors face limitations in confined spaces and complex tasks. Deformable drones, which can adapt their shape in real-time, offer a promising solution to overcome…
In a disaster situation, air ambulance rapid response will often be the determining factor in patient survival. Obstacles intensify this circumstance, with geographical remoteness and limitations in vehicle placement making it an arduous…
This paper presents a framework for controlled emergency landing of a quadcopter, experiencing a rotor failure, away from sensitive areas. A complete mathematical model capturing the dynamics of the system is presented that takes the…
The use of drones in logistics is gaining more and more interest, and drones are becoming a more viable and common way of distributing parcels in an urban environment. As a consequence, there is a flourishing production of articles in the…
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally, underscoring the need for effective, accessible monitoring solutions, particularly through wearable devices that enable continuous, real-time tracking of heart rhythms in…
Delivering a parcel from the distribution hub to the customer's doorstep is called the \textit{last-mile delivery} step in delivery logistics. In this paper, we study a hybrid {\it truck-drones} model for the last-mile delivery step, in…
Drone swarms coupled with data intelligence can be the future of wildfire fighting. However, drone swarm firefighting faces enormous challenges, such as the highly complex environmental conditions in wildfire scenes, the highly dynamic…
Currently, drone research and development has received significant attention worldwide. Particularly, delivery services employ drones as it is a viable method to improve delivery efficiency by using a several unmanned drones. Research has…
In the past decade, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have grabbed the attention of researchers in academia and industry for their potential use in critical emergency applications, such as providing wireless services to ground users and…
Drone-based communications is a novel and attractive area of research in cellular networks. It provides several degrees of freedom in time (available on demand), space (mobile) and it can be used for multiple purposes (self-healing,…
In modern digital circuit back-end design, designers heavily rely on electronic-design-automoation (EDA) tool to close timing. However, the heuristic algorithms used in the place and route tool usually does not result in optimal solution.…
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is alongside electrical defibrillation the most crucial countermeasure for sudden cardiac arrest, which affects thousands of individuals every year. In this paper, we present a novel approach including…
The design and control of winged aircraft and drones is an iterative process aimed at identifying a compromise of mission-specific costs and constraints. When agility is required, shape-shifting (morphing) drones represent an efficient…
Ambulance response is time-critical in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), where dispatchers must balance timely arrivals with limited fleet capacity. Static territories and deterministic travel-time estimates are vulnerable to dynamic…
We explore an end-to-end (including access and backhaul links) UAV-assisted wireless communication system, considering both uplink and downlink traffics, with the goal of supporting demand of the Ground Users (GUs) using the minimum number…
In this study, we formulate the drone delivery problem as a control problem and solve it using Model Predictive Control. Two experiments are performed: The first is on a less challenging grid world environment with lower dimensionality, and…
There is growing interest in investigating how the 5G capabilities can be extended to the critical communications vertical, in an expedited time scale. This paper provides a comprehensive cost analysis of a drone-based 5G deployment…
The drone industry is diversifying and the number of pilots increases rapidly. In this context, flight schools need adapted tools to train pilots, most importantly with regard to their own awareness of their physiological and cognitive…
