During last decade the scientific research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicless (UAVs) increased
spectacularly and led to the design of multiple types of aerial platforms. The major challenge …

A significant growth in Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations has been observed over
the past decade, largely driven by the emergence of new commercial opportunities and use …

Search and rescue (SAR) operations can take significant advantage from supporting
autonomous or teleoperated robots and multi-robot systems. These can aid in mapping and …

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) have become of considerable private and commercial
interest for a variety of jobs and entertainment in the past 10 years. This paper is a literature …

This letter addresses vision-based localization and servoing for quadrotors to enable
autonomous perching by hanging from cylindrical structures using only a monocular …

Autonomous delivery of goods using a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is a difficult problem, as it
poses high demand on the MAV's control, perception and manipulation capabilities. This …

Autonomous or teleoperated robots have been playing increasingly important roles in civil
applications in recent years. Across the different civil domains where robots can support …

In this paper, we propose a novel Image-Based Visual Servoing (IBVS) controller for
multirotor aerial robots based on a recent deep reinforcement learning algorithm named …

Nowadays, complex image processing algorithms are a necessity to make UAVs more
autonomous. Currently, the processing of images of the on-board camera is often performed …

This paper presents the design of a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of
landing semiautomatically on a power line while carrying a payload. The vehicle then rolls …
