This paper presents a manned-vehicle/unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) mission system that enables an operator in a manned aircraft to issue mission level commands to an autonomous aircraft in real time. A natural language interface allows the manned and unmanned vehicle to communicate in languages understood by both agents. A task scheduler transforms the commands into a dynamic mission plan consi...

• This solution was developed for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) System of the Department of Computer Architecture, Escola Politècnica Superior de Castelldefels, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. • The aim is to identify fire embers (that is, hot spots) in the images captured by an infrared video camera on the UAV in real time. The location and characteristics of the hot spots are then tr...

The main advantage of tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are introduced. Three design solutions of rotor tailsitter lift system of UAV have been presented and the respective control strategies and characteristics of three solutions are also analyzed in the paper, through the related experiments the design of twin-rotor lift system is verified, and its feasibility is proved. The character...

A short range wireless network platform, based on Bluetooth technology and on a Round Robin scheduling is presented. The objective is to build an application independent platform, to support a distributed sensing and actuation control system, which will be used in an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This platform provides the advantages of wireless communications while assuring low weight, small ...

This paper describes the design of Compact, accurate and inexpensive Fuzzy Logic Controllers and Fuzzy Inference Systems which estimates the attitude of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV).Attitude refers to parameters of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle such as latitude, longitude and altitude and angles of rotation known as pitch and roll. A Soft Computing technique called Fuzzy Logic is used to design the ...

A complex electrical engineering project, Dronenet, is a design and system integration of four major subsystems: an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a control terminal for the UAV, a mobile UAV carrier, and a control terminal for the mobile UAV carrier. Dronenet has a unique regenerative charging system based on the design of a Bedini motor to extend the duration of Pb and LiPo batteries. This pr...

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (ARM UAV) Program was originally established to develop measurement techniques and instruments suitable for use with a new class of high altitude, long endurance UAVs, and to demonstrate these instruments and measurement techniques in a series of field campaigns designed to support the climate change co...

This paper describes an analysis of domestic and international trends of image processing for data in UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and also explains about UAV and Quadcopter. Overseas examples of image processing using UAV include image processing for totaling the total numberof vehicles, edge/target detection, detection and evasion algorithm, image processing using SIFT(scale invariant featur...

Aerial and ground vehicles working in corporation are crucial assets for several real world applications, ranging from search and rescue to logistics. In this paper, we consider a cooperative landing task problem, where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) must land on an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) while such ground vehicle is moving in the environment to execute its own mission. To solve this c...
