Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones have been used for a variety of reasons and the commercial drone market growth is expected to reach remarkable levels in the near future. However, some drone users can mistakenly or intentionally f...
In underwater environments, ensuring people's safety is complicated, with potentially life-threatening outcomes, especially when divers have to work in deeper conditions. To improve the available solutions for working with robots in this kind of envi...
This article proposes Persistence Administered Collective Navigation (PACNav) as an approach for achieving the decentralized collective navigation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. The technique is based on the flocking and collective navigati...
Exploration is an important aspect of autonomous robotics, whether it is for target searching, rescue missions, or reconnaissance in an unknown environment. In this paper, we propose a solution to efficiently explore the unknown environment by unmann...
BACKGROUND: Seagrass beds are essential habitats in coastal ecosystems, providing valuable ecosystem services, but are threatened by various climate change and human activities. Seagrass monitoring by remote sensing have been conducted over past deca...
Human action recognition and detection from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, has emerged as a popular technical challenge in recent years, since it is related to many use case scenarios from environmental monitoring to search and rescue. I...
Assessing the numbers and distribution of at-risk megafauna such as the black rhino () is key to effective conservation, yet such data are difficult to obtain. Many current monitoring technologies are invasive to the target animals and expensive. Sat...
There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of Multi-Robot coordination and Modular Robotics. This work evaluates the secure coordination of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) via a drone simulation in Unity and an Unmanned Gro...
This article focuses on the target search problem in a curve-shape area using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with the demand for obtaining the maximum cumulative detection reward, as well as the constraint of maneuverability and obstacle a...
