Acrobatics at the insect scale: A durable, precise, and agile micro-aerial robot.

Science robotics
Aerial insects are exceptionally agile and precise owing to their small size and fast neuromotor control. They perform impressive acrobatic maneuvers when evading predators, recovering from wind gust, or landing on moving objects. Flapping-wing propu...

Addressing Gearbox Health Monitoring Challenges for Helicopters: A Machine Learning Approach.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
The transmission gearbox of military helicopters, such as the H225M, experiences intense dynamic loads, leading to the detachment of ferromagnetic particles, often due to wear or fatigue. This poses safety risks, as excessive particle detachment dema...

Fast ground-to-air transition with avian-inspired multifunctional legs.

Nature
Most birds can navigate seamlessly between aerial and terrestrial environments. Whereas the forelimbs evolved into wings primarily for flight, the hindlimbs serve diverse functions such as walking, hopping and leaping, and jumping take-off for transi...

Bird-inspired reflexive morphing enables rudderless flight.

Science robotics
Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll oscillations and to control yaw. The few exceptions tha...

The influence of neighbor selection on self-organized UAV swarm based on finite perception vision.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Recently, vision-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarming has emerged as a promising alternative that can overcome the adaptability and scalability limitations of distributed and communication-based UAV swarm systems. While most vision-based cont...

Estimation of Strawberry Canopy Volume in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle RGB Imagery Using an Object Detection-Based Convolutional Neural Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Estimating canopy volumes of strawberry plants can be useful for predicting yields and establishing advanced management plans. Therefore, this study evaluated the spatial variability of strawberry canopy volumes using a ResNet50V2-based convolutional...

Research on fatigue detection of flight trainees based on face EMF feature model combination with PSO-CNN algorithm.

Scientific reports
Even though the capability of aircraft manufacturing has improved, human factors still play a pivotal role in flight accidents. For example, fatigue-related accidents are a common factor in human-led accidents. Hence, pilots' precise fatigue detectio...

A Deep Learning Framework for Real-Time Bird Detection and Its Implications for Reducing Bird Strike Incidents.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Bird strikes are a substantial aviation safety issue that can result in serious harm to aircraft components and even passenger deaths. In response to this increased tendency, the implementation of new and more efficient detection and prevention techn...

SegX-Net: A novel image segmentation approach for contrail detection using deep learning.

PloS one
Contrails are line-shaped clouds formed in the exhaust of aircraft engines that significantly contribute to global warming. This paper confidently proposes integrating advanced image segmentation techniques to identify and monitor aircraft contrails ...

The research of touch screen usability in civil aircraft cockpit.

PloS one
With the advancement of touch screen technology, the application of touch screens in civil aircraft cockpits has become increasingly popular. However, further analysis and research are required to fully promote its applications. The paper researched ...
