The COBRA fixed-wing georeferenced imagery dataset
Sajad Saeedi, Carl Thibault, Michael Trentini, Howard LiThe purpose of this paper is to present a localization and mapping data set acquired by a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The data set was collected for educational and…
A propeller model for general forward flight conditions
Waqas Khan, Meyer NahonThe purpose of this paper is to develop a physics-based model for UAV propellers that is capable of predicting all aerodynamic forces and moments in any general forward flight…
Nonlinear model predictive controller robustness extension for unmanned aircraft
Gonzalo Garcia, Shahriar Keshmiri, Thomas StastnyNonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is emerging as a way to control unmanned aircraft with flight control constraints and nonlinear and unsteady aerodynamics. However, these…
Employing nonlinear observer for formation control of AUVs under communication constraints
Bikramaditya Das, Bidyadhar Subudhi, Bibhuti Bhusan PatiThe purpose of this paper is to propose development of a formation control algorithm by employing a nonlinear observer for compensating the delay in the sensor signal transmission…
Multi-modular design optimization and multidisciplinary design optimization
Amirhossein Adami, Mahda Mortazavi, Mehran NosratollahiFor complex engineering problems, multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) techniques use some disciplines that need to be run several times in different modules. In addition…
