The exact model-based control techniques discussed in Subsection IV-A are usually very sensitive to any variation of model parameters, thus lacking robustness and adaptation. In particular, exact dynamics of an aerial vehicle can hardly be established and some external disturbances cannot be measured ...
AnUnmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) is a “remotely piloted or self-piloted aircraft that can carry cameras, sensors, communications equipment or other payloads”[1].UAVshave emerged as a viable platform to operate in regions where the presence of onboard human pilots is either too risky or unnecess...
1. An unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, comprising: a camera arrangement configurable such that a field of view of the camera arrangement includes airspace directly above the UAV; a lighting arrangement configurable in an upwards-facing configuration; and a controller operable to cause, in anticipation...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle In the last few years the interest inUnmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) and their use for an ever increasing range of applications has grown tremendously. This type of aircrafts can be controlled remotely or programmed to fly in an autonomous way. They have been used for dif...
In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may access a scan plan that includes a sequence of poses for the UAV to assume to capture images of a scan target using one or more image sensors. The UAV may check a next pose of the scan plan for obstructions. Responsive to detectio...
In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) booster includes a housing; a propulsion mechanism coupled to the housing to move the UAV booster to a threshold altitude; and an attachment mechanism coupled to the housing to couple to a UAV and permit the UAV to be selectively decoupled ...
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), also known as a combat drone, is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is armed and used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance as well as attack missions. UCAVs are capable of carrying precision-guided munitions, air-to...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been referred to in many ways: RPV (remotely piloted vehicle), drone, robot plane, and pilotless aircraft. Most often called UAVs, they are defined by the Department of Defense (DoD) as powered, aerial vehicles that do not carry a human operator, use ...
