Autonomous pursuit and landing drone - Adam Garlow
June 9, 2020Students in Dr. Jonathan Roger’s Aerial Robotics and Experimental Automation Lab (AREAL) are using the IFL to develop a control system with the purpose of landing a quadcopter on a moving vehicle. There is an RC controlled vehicle with a landing pad and IR visual target. This ground vehicle is pursued by a quadcopter with…
Cooperative transportation drones - Kevin Webb
June 9, 2020Kevin Webb, a student in Professor Jonathan Rogers’ Aerial Robotics and Experimental Autonomy Laboratory (AREAL), has been using the IFL for the flight testing of multiple cooperative UAVs for the purpose of autonomous package transportation. The objective of this project is to develop a modular framework which will allow multiple UAVs to dock to a…
Monocopter - Zhiyuan (Nick) Zhang
May 20, 2020Zhiyuan (Nick) Zhang, a student in Professor Panos Tsiotras's Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory (DCSL), has been using the IFL to fly a radio-controlled monocopter. The monocopter is a type of non-symmetrical autorotation aerial vehicle. In its operation the entire vehicle rotates around its center of gravity, generating lift with a single rotating blade. The…
