Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or aerial drones, are an emerging technology with
significant market potential. UAVs may lead to substantial cost savings in, for instance …

During recent years, advances in drone technologies have made them applicable in various
fields of industry, and their popularity continues to grow. In this paper, the academic …

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) routing is transitioning from an emerging topic to a growing
research area as the 3D flexible utilization of airspace, promogulated by UAVs, is a potential …

This letter concerns optimal power transmission line inspection formulated as a proposed
generalization of the traveling salesman problem for a multi-route one-depot scenario. The …

In this paper we present a novel framework for geolocalizing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) using only their onboard camera. The framework exploits the abundance of satellite …

Waste management issues are affecting the economic and environmental aspects of
modern societies. Thus, growing the interest of academic and industrial research and …

By enabling coordinated task execution and movement, robotic swarms can achieve efficient
exploration of unknown environments. In this paper, we propose a relative localization …

In this paper, we present a method for estimating GPS coordinates from visual information
captured by a monocular camera mounted on a fixed-wing tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle …

Mission planning for ballistic precision airdrop (PAD) operations has traditionally focused on
determining the optimal computed air release point (CARP) to release the payloads that …

We investigate fixed points for p cyclic maps by introducing a new notion of p–cyclic infimum
summing maps and a generalized best proximity point for p–cyclic maps. The idea …
