This paper presents Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control with a novel Fuzzy PID Surface for improved trajectory tracking of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles under external disturbances. First, quadrotor dynamic model with six degrees of freedom (6-D...
BACKGROUND: Rice leafroller is a serious threat to the production of rice. Monitoring the damage caused by rice leafroller is essential for effective pest management. Owing to limitations in collecting decent quality images and high-performing identi...
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...
Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease, is a devastating disease of citrus. However, there is no known cure so far. Recently, under Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), a special local ...
A mask identification and social distance monitoring system using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in the outdoors has been proposed for a health establishment. The above approach performed surveillance of the surrounding area using cameras installed i...
is a widely planted species in plantation forests because of its outstanding characteristics, such as fast growth rate and high adaptability. Accurate and rapid prediction of biomass is important for plantation forest management and the prediction ...
In natural restoration, it is important to improve the efficiency of monitoring. Remote sensing using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms plays a major role in improving monitoring efficiency. UAV platforms are particularly suited for monitoring ...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require fault diagnosis for safe operation. Here, we present a protocol for UAV fault diagnosis using signal processing and artificial intelligence. We describe steps for collecting vibration-based signal data, preproc...
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...
This study focuses on improving coordination among teams of heterogeneous robots, including unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles, drawing inspiration from natural pack-hunting strategies. The goal is to increase the effectiveness of ...
