Artificial Intelligence Based Identification of the Attitude Dynamics for a Quadrotor UAV
(2014-12)
Quadrotor UAVs have become very popular, recently. At the same time, having a model of a system proves rather useful in almost any engineering task. In the case of quadrotors this becomes a challenging task, because they ...
Autopilot Design and Commercial Autopilot Evaluation Using Flybarless Helicopter
(2014-03)
In its effort to develop unmanned autonomous systems research capabilities, the College of Engineering is adding a rotary wing UAV to its research activities. The current thesis goal is to use the Maxi Joker 3 commercial ...
Energy Management of a Multi-Source Power System
(2018-05)
Many industries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels to carry out their daily operations. The transportation industry alone is responsible for consuming two thirds of the oil used around the world. As fossil fuel deposits ...
Non-Linear Modeling and Control of Unmanned Air Vehicle
(2012-05)
The aim of this thesis is to design and simulate a Dynamic Inversion based autopilot for a fixed wing aircraft. The autopilot provides the aircraft motion stability by commanding the different aircraft control surfaces and ...
Optimization of Commercially Off the Shelf (COTS) Electric Propulsion System for Low Speed Fuel Cell UAV
(2013-03)
Fuel cell technology offers higher energy density than any other onboard electric power source. However, despite its high energy content per unit mass, the fuel cell is lacking in power density ratio compared to Lithium-Polymer ...
Auto Takeoff and Precision Landing using Integrated GPS/INS/Optical Flow Solution
(2015-01)
Auto takeoff and landing has been considered as the most challenging part in performing a flight with a high degree of autonomy. Hence, many researchers have addressed the problem of developing a precise auto takeoff and ...
Smart Drones for a Smarter Government
(2014-07-22)
Using drones as a means of transportation can help eliminate problems encountered by the people.
Monitoring Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(2014-01-19)
We are creating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will monitor traffic congestion and vehicular air pollution, to help traffic management centers take prompt action to relieve highly congested roadways. It will also ...
Mazari UAV Adaptive Autopilot System Design and Implementation
(2013-06)
Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research started at AUS in 2005. Linear and nonlinear aircraft models and system identification of the aircraft system were developed to design flight control laws. Proportional-i ...
Drone Based Outdoor Insulator Inspection
(2019-04)
Over the past few decades, interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and in particular quadcopters has increased due to the wide range of possible research applications that can benefit from the use of quadcopters. ...
