This paper introduces a hardware platform for automated battery changing and charging for multiple UAV agents. The automated station holds a buffer of 8 batteries in a novel dual-drum structure that enables a “hot” battery swap, thus allowing the vehicle to remain powered on throughout the battery changing process. Each drum consists of four battery bays, each of which is connected to a smartch...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are excellent platforms for detecting and tracking objects of interest on or near the ground due to their vantage point and freedom of movement. This paper presents a cooperative vision-based estimation and tracking system that can be used in such situations. The method is shown to give better results than could be achieved with a single UAV, while being robust t...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, (auto) immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The aim study was to determine distribution cognitive disorders in MS relation demographic parameters, degree clinical disability and depression. prospective included 135 subjects with Clinic Neurology University Clinical Center Tuzla. first group consisted women (101 respondents) seco...

The present study investigated the relationship between individual differences in timing movements at the level of milliseconds and performance on selected cognitive and fine motor skills. For this purpose, young adult participants (N = 100) performed a repetitive movement task paced by an auditory metronome at different rates. Psychometric measures included the digit-span and symbol search sub...

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have the potential to perform many of the dangerous missions currently flown by manned aircraft. Yet, the complexity of some tasks, such as air combat, have precluded UAS from successfully carrying out these missions autonomously. This paper presents a formulation of the one-on-one air combat maneuvering problem and an approximate dynamic programming approach to ...

Eye-movement patterns contain important information about strategic information processing. Using the successor representation (SR, Dayan, 1993, Neural Computation) to capture statistical regularities in temporally extended fixation sequences we were able to assess strategic shifts in eye-movement patterns and predict scores on Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) test. Thirty-five parti...

In an associative patterning task, some people seem to focus more on learning an overarching rule, whereas others seem to focus on acquiring specific relations between the stimuli and outcomes involved. Building on earlier work, we further investigated which cognitive factors are involved in feature- vs. rule-based learning and generalization. To this end, we measured participants' tendency to ...
