Utilizing wind hovering techniques of soaring birds can save energy expenditure and improve the flight endurance of micro air vehicles (MAVs). Here, we present a novel method for fully autonomous orographic soaring without a priori…

We present a novel controller for fixed-wing UAVs that enables autonomous soaring in an orographic wind field, extending flight endurance. Our method identifies soaring regions and addresses position control challenges by introducing a…

For legged robots, aerial motions are the only option to overpass obstacles that cannot be circumvent with standard locomotion gaits. In these cases, the robot must perform a leap to either jump onto the obstacle or fly over it. However,…

LiDAR-based 3D perception and localization on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are fundamentally limited by the narrow field of view (FoV) of compact LiDAR sensors and the payload constraints that preclude multi-sensor configurations.…

Bio-inspired methods can provide efficient solutions to perform autonomous landing for Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). Flying insects such as honeybees perform vertical landings by keeping flow divergence constant. This leads to an exponential…

As an emerging technology, the simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) can improve the spectrum efficiency (SE) of primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio (CR) networks…

In this paper, we propose a dual-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled secure communication and sensing (SCS) scheme for an air-to-ground integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, in which a dual-functional source UAV and jamming…

Semi-autonomous (SA) systems face the challenge of determining which source to prioritize for control, whether it's from the human operator or the autonomous controller, especially when they conflict with each other. While one may design an…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with slung load system is a classic air transportation system. In practical applications, the suspension point of the slung load does not always align with the center of mass (CoM) of the UAV due to mission…

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have advanced significantly in obstacle detection and path planning through sonar, cameras, and learning-based methods. However, safe and efficient navigation in cluttered environments remains…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled positioning that uses UAVs as aerial anchor nodes is a promising solution for providing positioning services in harsh environments. In previous research, the state sensing and control of UAVs were…
