This book was released on 2012-08-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quad Rotorcraft Control develops original control methods for the navigation and hovering flight of an autonomous mini-quad-rotor robotic helicopter. These methods use an imaging system and a combination of inertial and altitude sensors to localize and guide the movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to its immediate environment. The history, classification and applications of UAVs are introduced, followed by a description of modelling techniques for quad-rotors and the experimental platform itself. A control strategy for the improvement of attitude stabilization in quad-rotors is then proposed and tested in real-time experiments. The strategy, based on the use low-cost components and with experimentally-established robustness, avoids drift in the UAV’s angular position by the addition of an internal control loop to each electronic speed controller ensuring that, during hovering flight, all four motors turn at almost the same speed. The quad-rotor’s Euler angles being very close to the origin, other sensors like GPS or image-sensing equipment can be incorporated to perform autonomous positioning or trajectory-tracking tasks. Two vision-based strategies, each designed to deal with a specific kind of mission, are introduced and separately tested. The first stabilizes the quad-rotor over a landing pad on the ground; it extracts the 3-dimensional position using homography estimation and derives translational velocity by optical flow calculation. The second combines colour-extraction and line-detection algorithms to control the quad-rotor’s 3-dimensional position and achieves forward velocity regulation during a road-following task. In order to estimate the translational-dynamical characteristics of the quad-rotor (relative position and translational velocity) as they evolve within a building or other unstructured, GPS-deprived environment, imaging, inertial and altitude sensors are combined in a state observer. The text give the reader a current view of the problems encountered in UAV control, specifically those relating to quad-rotor flying machines and it will interest researchers and graduate students working in that field. The vision-based control strategies presented help the reader to a better understanding of how an imaging system can be used to obtain the information required for performance of the hovering and navigation tasks ubiquitous in rotored UAV operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This spin-off hardback volume, is devoted to the current state-of-the-art and recent advances in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The area of UAS has seen unprecedented levels of growth over the last decade, and it is also expected to be one of the most dominant areas of research and development in the future. Although the main focus of UAS applications was in military domains, we now see a shift of UAS use in civilian/public domains. However, it will be long before UAS are extensively utilized in civilian domains, but their importance in applications related to earth science, environment/pollution monitoring, land management, civil infrastructure, health management, public security, fire detection, emergency response, search and rescue, etc., is obvious. Despite the tremendous progress in UAS, there are still major challenges and obstacles to be overcome, which relate, among other things, to: navigation, control and communication issues; levels of autonomy; fault-tolerance; sensors; payloads, range and endurance, and, integration of UAS into the national airspace. This volume aims at discussing some of the current challenges in UAS by publishing peer reviewed, archive and original papers from research groups all over the world. The papers have been divided in the following areas: UAS operations, regulations and airworthiness; Energy efficient UAV systems and UAS management; UAV design, modeling and validation; UAV control; UAV mission and path planning; UAV tracking; UAV vision systems and vision-based navigation; Quadrotor UAVs; Micro Air-Vehicles (MAVs); UAV formations and swarms; Cooperative UAVs; UAS testbeds; and Applications. The list of topics is by no means exclusive and complete, but it does provide an indication of the wide spectrum of problems scientists, researchers and engineers work on. An important part of this volume is conducted research in cooperative UAVs and UAV formations, which hints a move from a single UAV to multiple UAVs. Regardless, the list of topics is very wide and diverse, and the Applications section papers give the reader nothing but an idea of where UAVs may be used. Reprinted from the Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, Volumes 69 and 70 (2013).

The topics covered in this book encapsulate research trends from fundamental theoretical aspects of robust stereo correspondence estimation to the establishment of novel and robust algorithms as well as applications in a wide range of disciplines. Particularly interesting theoretical trends presented in this book involve the exploitation of the evolutionary approach, wavelets and multiwavelet theories, Markov random fields and fuzzy sets in addressing the correspondence estimation problem. Novel algorithms utilizing inspiration from biological systems (such as the silicon retina imager and fish eye) and nature (through the exploitation of the refractive index of liquids) make this book an interesting compilation of current research ideas.
