One challenge facing coordination and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) today is the amount of human involvement needed to carry out a successful mission. Currently, control and coordination of UAVs typically involves multiple operators to control a single agent. The aim of this paper is to invert this relationship, enabling a single pilot to control and coordinate a group of UAVs. ...

Due to varying user demands in bicycle sharing systems, operators need to actively shift bikes between stations by a fleet of vehicles. We address the problem of finding efficient vehicle tours by an extended version of an iterated greedy construction heuristic following the concept of the PILOT method and GRASP and applying a variable neighborhood descend (VND) as local improvement. Computatio...

Cognitive brain functions including sensory processing and control of behavior are understood as "neurocomputation" in axonal-dendritic synaptic networks of "integrate-and-fire" neurons. Cognitive neurocomputation with consciousness is accompanied by 30- to 90-Hz gamma synchrony electroencephalography (EEG), and non-conscious neurocomputation is not. Gamma synchrony EEG derives largely from neu...

According to the characteristics that fatigue study cannot reveal fatigue mechanism and nonlinear influence factors of vehicle driving closed-loop system defects, this paper proposes a driver model inversion method for studying the driver's fatigue diagnosis. Furthermore, the new methods is divided into two steps: 1. using the forecast looks neural network model to build the driver vehicle road...

background: xylene is known as one of the most toxic of the nervous system. the purpose of this study is to estimate the concentration of xylene in the cabin of the vehicles production in iran. also the effect of ventilation, cigarette smoking, and air freshener inside the vehicle, fuel type and car decorations on the concentration of the substance being studied.   methods: 152 vehicles pride a...

Our study provides insight into modelling and assessment of a digital surface model of experimental plot. An unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with low-cost RGB camera was used. The camera system made it possible to acquire very high resolution imagery to generate ortho-mosaics and digital surface models through automatic 3D photo-reconstruction methods by Agisoft Photoscan solution. The unmanne...
