Recently, there has been growing interest in developing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)
with advanced onboard autonomous capabilities. This paper describes the current state of …

A fundamental aspect of autonomous vehicle guidance is planning trajectories. Historically,
two fields have contributed to trajectory or motion planning methods: robotics and dynamics …

SINCE 11 September 2001, a number of measures have been implemented to prevent
further aircraft hijackings. These include additional safety measures on the ground …

The recent pandemic of COVID-19 has proven to be a test case for Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs). UAVs have shown great potential for plenty of applications in the face of …

Owing to the increase in civil applications using quadcopters, commercial flight control
systems such as Pixhawk are a popular solution to provide the sensing and control functions …

Lifting operations of mobile cranes are one of the commonly-seen and most important
activities for prefabrication housing production (PHP) on sites. However, relevant operations …

UNMANNED aerial vehicles (UAVs) are pilotless aircraft used by military, police, and civilian
communities for tasks such as damage assessment [1], surveying [2], and target tracking [3 …

In this work, we propose a method for estimating depth for an image of a monocular camera
in order to avoid a collision for the autonomous flight of a drone. The highest flight speed of a …

This paper presents the obstacle detection and avoidance system for a multicopter UAV. A
Velodyne VLP-16 LiDAR is used for obstacle detection. The LiDAR generates a 360° view of …

This study describes the implementation of an online path planner in an autonomous
underwater vehicle (AUV) system by using an open-source system architecture, MOOS-IvP …
