Abstract In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been increasingly used for
bridge inspection. Although UAVs are expected to automate the whole bridge inspection …

The present work is aimed at analyzing and modeling the aerodynamic interactions of two
small-scale tilted propellers operating at low Reynolds numbers near the ground. Two …

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are employed for vision-based modal analysis of civil
infrastructure, as they overcome range limitations of fixed cameras and measure the …

To improve accuracy and robustness of interactive aerial robots, the knowledge of the forces
acting on the platform is of uttermost importance. The robot should distinguish interaction …

Featured Application The main idea of this paper was to deploy a team of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) to attach a sensor to a bridge using a two-component adhesive in order to …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are seeing increasing adoption to automated remote and
in situ inspection of industrial assets, removing the need for hazardous manned access …

Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to per-form high-altitude manipulation tasks
beyond just passive visual application can reduce the time, cost, and risk of human workers …

Featured Application This work can be applied to integrate autonomous unmanned aerial
vehicles in civil airspace. Abstract This paper presents a software architecture for Unmanned …

This paper presents the design and development of a fully-actuated platform for the visual
inspection of difficult-to-reach areas of bridges, such as bridge beams and bearings. The …

This work presents the application of an aerial manipulation robot for the semi-autonomous
installation of clip-type bird flight diverters on overhead power line cables. A custom-made …
