This paper describes flight planning supported by modeling, guidance, and feedback control for an electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) QuadPlane small Uncrewed Aircraft System (sUAS). Five Lift+Cruise sUAS waypoint types are defined and use...
Eliminating pathogen exposure is an important approach to control outbreaks of epidemics such as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). To deal with pathogenic environments, using disinfection robots is a practicable choice. This research formulates a...
The application of drones has contributed to automated herbicide spraying in the context of precision agriculture. Although drone technology is mature, the widespread application of agricultural drones and their numerous advantages still demand impro...
One of the essential attributes of a cleaning robot is to achieve complete area coverage. Current commercial indoor cleaning robots have fixed morphology and are restricted to clean only specific areas in a house. The results of maximum area coverage...
Intelligent agricultural machinery refers to machinery that can independently complete tasks in the field, which has great significance for the transformation of agricultural modernization. However, most of the existing research on intelligent agricu...
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is a promising technology to replenish energy of sensors in Rechargeable Wireless Sensor Networks (RWSN). In this paper, we investigate the mobile directional charging optimization problem in RWSN. Our problem is how to...
With the improvement of urban infrastructure and the increase in the coverage of high-rise buildings, the demand for location information services inside buildings is becoming more and more urgent. Moreover, indoor path planning, as a prerequisite an...
Image-based refined 3D reconstruction relies on high-resolution and multi-angle images of scenes. The assistance of multi-rotor drones and gimbal provides great convenience for image acquisition. However, capturing images with manual control generall...
Distributed navigation interference is a critical technique for degrading the performance of multi-element adaptive nulling antennas, where optimal spatial deployment of interference sources is pivotal to maximizing overall interference effectiveness...
At racing speeds above 300 km/h (≈83 m/s), hazard awareness becomes a vehicular-communications problem: 100 ms already correspond to about 8.3 m of blind travel before an alert can influence braking, line choice, or torque delivery. Cloud-only...
To address the precision and motion-smoothing challenges in path planning for spherical workpieces without Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models, this paper proposes a robust point-cloud-driven framework. Conventional Principal Component Analysis (PCA)...
The flatness of bearing pads directly affects structural load transfer safety. However, conventional total station-based inspection methods suffer from limited spatial sampling, low inspection efficiency, and high safety risks associated with working...
Urban air mobility path planning must account for objects that do not provide cooperative surveillance information, but their motion and avoidance responses vary by class, making a single extrapolated trajectory insufficient to inform every path deci...
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted networking and communications are increasingly used in different applications, especially in the data collection of distributed Internet of Things (IoT) systems; its advantages include great flexibility and scal...
One of the major challenges in designing a wireless indoor–outdoor communication network operating in tunnels and long corridors is to identify the optimal location of the outside station for attaining a proper coverage. It is required to formu...
The sixth generation (6G) mobile network demands exceptional resilience to support mission-critical applications such as remote surgery, autonomous driving, and industrial automation. Conventional architectures typically separate the wireless access...
This paper evaluates the feasibility of integrating interstitial woody plantings into north–south axis solar-tracking photovoltaic (PV) systems in Spain to enhance landscape integration while minimizing shading. A computational model based on a...
Zero-trust security continuously re-evaluates the trustworthiness of industrial devices and reacts by rerouting, isolating, or rescheduling traffic. In a time-sensitive network (TSN) that carries feedback control loops, however, every such reaction i...
Natural fractures dominate fracturing effects and well production. Conventional fracturing fails to fully activate multi-scale fractures, and most simulations adopt homogeneous rock assumptions, lacking systematic analysis on fracture propagation and...
Hyperspectral imaging systems are widely used in precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and mineral exploration. However, current systems often suffer from high cost, large size and weight, and considerable system complexity, which hinder t...
RGB-D depth errors vary with observation distance and local geometry, yet robotic-manipulator planning commonly relies on nominal obstacle geometry. This study develops a condition-dependent safety-margin framework using Intel RealSense D435 measurem...
Aligned recycled carbon fiber (rCF)/polyetherimide (PEI) tapes are a promising material for lightweight aerospace thermoplastic composite structures with reduced environmental impact, provided that their directional properties can be translated into...
Ultrasonic inspection of welded steel components remains challenging due to weld-scale material gradients, local anisotropy, attenuation, and aperture limitations. These factors severely distort both the first-arrival wavefield and the late-arriving...
