"You are welcome George!
Every time I hear someone speaking about swarms and multi UAV systems, I remain skeptical. They always forget about the difficulties of deploying and recovery of such a large fleet. Demonstrations usually occur on closed…"
Some time ago, I've written a blog post in this site mentioning the results of my master thesis research. Since then, I have written a paper detailing these results and published it on Sensors, a journal by MDPI.The main contribution of the paper is…
Hi Guys,Does APM Planner have the grid function to plan surveying missions?I found this functionality on Mission Planner for windows and Droidplanner, but not on APM Planner.If APM Planner really doesn't have this function, can anyone answer…
"@Julien,
I can't predict when it will take longer to execute the algorithm. In this example, which also has 10 sweep lines, the algorithm took less than 20 seconds.
Even though the other example also had 10 sweep lines, the optimization had to…"
"@Julien, yes I really think so.
Actually, as the number of sweep lines and available UAVs increases, the step 2 of the algorithm takes longer to find an answer, even minutes sometimes. Even if I limit the number of available UAVs to one, sometimes…"
"@Seth This is a modified flying wing from the standard Zagi design. My friends from the Center for Aeronautical Studies UFMG (http://www.demec.ufmg.br/cea/principal_eng.htm) did some modifications:
Longer wingspan: 1.8 m
Modified sweep angle for a…"
I have recently finished my Master studies in electrical engineering and robotics. The focus of my thesis are UAVs and the title is UAV Navigation for Area Coverage and Time Optimization. One of the goals of this study was to answer two…
