Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), owing to their flexible coverage expansion and dynamic adjustment capabilities, hold significant application potential across various fields. With the emergence of urban low-altitude air traffic dominated by UAVs, the...
Path planning in multi-agent UAV swarms is a crucial issue that involves avoiding collisions in dynamic, obstacle-filled environments while consuming the least amount of time and energy possible. This work comprehensively evaluates reinforcement lear...
For the formation reconfiguration of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a hierarchical control decision-making method considering both convergence and optimality is studied. To begin with, the dynamic model of the fixed-wing UAVs is establis...
The development of beyond 5G (B5G) future wireless communication networks (FWCN) needs novel solutions to support high-speed, reliable, and low-latency communication. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are...
The rapid advancement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has enabled the coordinated operation of multi-UAV systems, offering significant applications in agriculture, logistics, environmental monitoring, and disaster relief. In agriculture,...
The presented study demonstrates that UAVs can be flown with a morphing wing to develop essential aerodynamic efficiency without a tail structure, which decides the operational cost and flight safety. The mechanical control for morphing is discussed,...
This paper addresses inherent limitations in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) undercarriages hindering vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities on uneven slopes and obstacles. Robotic landing gear (RLG) designs have been proposed to address thes...
Integrating autonomous haulage systems into underground mining has revolutionized safety and operational efficiency. However, deploying 3D detection systems for autonomous truck navigation in such an environment faces persistent challenges due to dus...
The continuous configuration changes and velocity variations of tilt-rotor UAVs during the transition phase pose significant challenges to flight safety. Hence, the transition phase trajectory must be specially designed. The transition corridor is an...
Nighttime terrain mapping has remained a significant challenge in photogrammetry due to the absence of visible light required by conventional imaging systems. This study evaluates the feasibility of generating Digital Surface Models (DSMs) from night...
