In the evolving landscape of autonomous systems, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) has emerged as a promising solution for improving the localization accuracy and operational efficiency for diverse...
The tight formation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provides numerous advantages in practical applications, increasing not only their range but also their efficiency during missions. However, the wingman aerodynamics are affected by the tail vorti...
Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite Signal-of-Opportunity (SOP) positioning technology has gradually matured to meet the accuracy requirements for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) positioning in daily scenarios. Advancements in miniaturization technology fo...
This paper introduces a quadrotor trajectory tracking controller comprising a steady-state optimal position controller with a normed input saturation and modular integrative action coupled with a backstepping attitude controller. First, the translati...
This work is inscribed into a more comprehensive project related to the architectural requalification and restoration of Frinco Castle, one of the most significant fortified medieval structures in the Monferrato area (province of Asti, Italy), that e...
A UAV infrared target detection model ITD-YOLOv8 based on YOLOv8 is proposed to address the issues of model missed and false detections caused by complex ground background and uneven target scale in UAV aerial infrared image target detection, as well...
Aerial images record the dynamic Earth terrain, reflecting changes in land cover patterns caused by natural processes and human activities. Nonetheless, prevailing aerial image classification methodologies predominantly function within a closed-set f...
A technology to search for victims in disaster areas by localizing human-related sound sources, such as voices and emergency whistles, using a drone-embedded microphone array was researched. One of the challenges is the development of sound source lo...
Unmanned helicopters are always subject to various external disturbances and constraints when performing tasks. In this paper, an extended state observer-based command-filtered safe tracking control scheme is investigated for an unmanned helicopter u...
A UAV-assisted space–air–ground integrated network (SAGIN) can provide communication services for remote areas and disaster-stricken regions. However, the increasing types and numbers of ground terminals (GTs) have led to the explosive gr...
