Autonomous multirotor landings on uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) are critical for persistent maritime operations but remain challenging due to wave-induced tilt, wind disturbances, and limited landing area. Many existing approaches exhibit…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology is becoming increasingly used in a variety of applications such as video surveillance and deliveries. To enable safe and efficient use of UAVs, the devices will need to be connected into cellular…

This article proposes a method to diminish the pose (position plus attitude) drift experienced by an SVO (Semi-Direct Visual Odometry) based visual navigation system installed onboard a UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) by supplementing its pose…

This paper introduces a system designed for tight collaboration between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) in harsh maritime conditions characterized by large waves. This onboard UAV system aims to enhance…

Unmanned boats, while navigating at sea, utilize active compensation systems to mitigate wave disturbances experienced by onboard instruments and equipment. However, there exists a lag in the measurement of unmanned boat attitudes, thus…

In this paper, we design a reliable Heliquad and develop an intelligent controller to handle one actuators complete failure. Heliquad is a multi-copter similar to Quadcopter, with four actuators diagonally symmetric from the center. Each…

The electric solar wind sail (E-sail) is a way to propel a spacecraft by using the natural solar wind as a thrust source. The problem of secular spinrate change was identified earlier which is due to the orbital Coriolis effect and tends to…

Manipulation and grasping with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) currently require accurate positioning and are often executed at reduced speed to ensure successful grasps. This is due to the fact that typical UAVs can only accommodate rigid…

Tilt rotor aircraft combine the benefits of both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, this makes them popular for a variety of applications, including Search and Rescue and VVIP transport. However, due to the multiple flight modes,…

Fin actuators can be used for for both thrust generation and vectoring. Therefore, fin-driven autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can achieve high maneuverability with a smaller number of actuators, but their control is challenging. This…

Unmanned aerial-aquatic vehicles (UAAVs) can operate both in the air and underwater, giving them broad application prospects. Inspired by the dual-function wings of puffins, we propose a UAAV with amphibious wings to address the challenge…

This paper investigates the secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) maximization problem for unmanned aerial vehicle enabled mobile relaying system, where a high-mobility UAV is exploited to assist delivering the confidential information from a…

This paper addresses the problem of designing a trajectory tracking control law for a quadrotor UAV, subsequent to complete failure of a single rotor. The control design problem considers the reduced state space which excludes the angular…

Exoskeletons which amplify the strength of their operators can enable heavy-duty manipulation of unknown objects. However, this type of behavior is difficult to accomplish; it requires the exoskeleton to sense and amplify the operator's…

This paper focuses on the control of a cooperative system composed of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) manipulating an object. The two units are subject to input saturations and collaborate to move the…

In recent years, Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) have been extensively deployed for maritime applications. However, USV has a limited detection range with sensor installed at the same elevation with the targets. In this research, we propose…

Yaw estimation of boats from the viewpoint of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) or boats is a crucial task in various applications such as 3D scene rendering, trajectory prediction, and navigation.…

In this research, we investigated the innovative use of a manipulator as a tail in quadruped robots to augment their physical capabilities. Previous studies have primarily focused on enhancing various abilities by attaching robotic tails…

Tracking control has been a vital research topic in robotics. This paper presents a novel hybrid control strategy for an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) based on a bioinspired neural dynamics model. An enhanced backstepping kinematic…
