Gesture-Based Control of Autonomous UAVs
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been traditionally controlled via remote control or by software, which require skill using the remote or expert programming skills. Our goal is to develop a natural mode of directing a drone’s actions, akin to the forms of expression one finds between a person and a pet and hence accessible to almost any person without specialized training or expertise in us...
متن کاملFlush Air Data Sensing for Soaring-Capable UAVs
Dynamic soaring extracts energy from naturally occurring wind gradients that can be used to extend aircraft endurance, particularly in small UAVs. Autonomous thermal soaring has already been validated in flight tests with small UAVs, but this level of demonstration has not been performed for dynamic soaring UAVs, partly due to the precise wind measurements required. This paper explores wind vec...
متن کاملReal-time trajectory generation technique for dynamic soaring UAVs
This paper addresses the problem of generating real time trajectories for dynamic soaring of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). The UAVs soar using the wind shear available over the oceans. The UAVs utilize the energy from low-altitude wind gradients to reduce fuel consumption. For a propeller driven UAV, a performance index is selected to minimize the average power required per cycle of powered ...
متن کاملTECHNOLOGIES FOR RELIABLE AUTONOMOUS CONTROL (TRAC) OF UAVs
Technologies for Reliable Autonomous Control (TRAC) is a DARPA sponsored effort under the Software Enabled Control (SEC) initiative. The goal of T U C is to develop and demonstrate a fundamentally different approach to controlling uninhabited air vehicles (UAVs) that will enable greater mission capability, higher reliability and safety, and greater adaptability to vehicle and mission environmen...
متن کاملModel Predictive Control for a Swarm of Fixed Wing Uavs
This paper describes an algorithm for the control of a swarm of UAVs based on decentralized MPC. For each UAV, our algorithm first determines the trajectory taking into account the obstacles and the constraints on the aircraft performance. Then basing on a robust MPC algorithm, optimal guidance laws are calculated and tracked by the UAVs by means of local PIDs controllers. Our approach also all...
