"Hello Eli,
The big advantage with this system with respect to a computer vision system it is the robustness. Using a visual pattern you will probably have problems in bad visibility conditions, like fog, rain, etc. Also, in the last meters of the…"

"Hello Rob, you are totally right about the sling load. We actually did this some years ago, in a project called AWARE, where we used a two angle sensor (you need the two angles) to stabilize a load at the end of a cable.
Yes, the operation that we…"

"Thanks Juan Carlos for your comments. Yes, the helicopter is a logo but we integrated our own avionics to transform it into an UAV.
We use a winch that automatically keeps the tension of the cable constant so we do not have the effect that you…"

"Thanks Rob for your comments.
You are right, we have a winch under the platform that maintains the tension but the helicopter is not just applying full collective. We have modified the control algorithms to take into account the whole system,…"
