Characterizing aircraft wake vortex position and strength using LiDAR measurements processed with artificial neural networks.

Optics express
The position and strength of wake vortices captured by LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) instruments are usually determined by conventional approaches such as the Radial Velocity (RV) method. Promising wake vortex detection results of LiDAR measure...

The machine as a partner: Human-machine teaming design using the PRODEC method.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: Human-machine teaming (HMT) typically combines perspectives from systems engineering, artificial intelligence (AI) and human-centered design (HCD), to achieve human systems integration (HSI) through the development of an integrative syste...

Are small airplanes safe with regards to COVID-19 transmission?

Journal of travel medicine
Social distancing is impossible in small aircrafts but there is a specific, highly effective ventilation system. Measurements proved that there is no crossflow between pilot, copilot and backseaters. Terefore the risk of infection should be very low.

Counting penguins with drones.

Science robotics
A multidrone path-planning algorithm enables drones to scout Adélie penguin colonies in Antarctica.

Multidrone aerial surveys of penguin colonies in Antarctica.

Science robotics
Speed is essential in wildlife surveys due to the dynamic movement of animals throughout their environment and potentially extreme changes in weather. In this work, we present a multirobot path-planning method for conducting aerial surveys over large...

Good vibrations for flapping-wing flyers.

Science robotics
Studies of insect flight reveal how flapping-induced vibrations augment flight stability of tailless flapping-wing flyers.

Field performance of sterile male mosquitoes released from an uncrewed aerial vehicle.

Science robotics
Genetic control methods of mosquito vectors of malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and Zika are becoming increasingly popular due to the limitations of other techniques such as the use of insecticides. The sterile insect technique is an effective genetic ...

Assessing Mosquito Breeding Sites and Abundance Using An Unmanned Aircraft.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association
An unmanned aircraft system (UAS; i.e., drone) with an attached multispectral camera was used to quantify accumulated surface water on a 0.54-km tidal marsh that abuts San Francisco Bay, CA, USA. The results of the survey showed unequal accumulation ...
