Towards Programmable Coordination of Unmanned Vehicle Networks

Designing and implementation of an unmanned aerial vehicle for inspection of electricity distribution networks

One of the most crucial elements of each country is electricity distribution networks (EDN). Awareness of accidents in EDN could be very important in the conservation and utilization of them. The accurate and periodic inspections can provide a good service to subscribers. The goal of this project is to fabricate a quad rotor, which can do an accurate and a periodic inspection. The design and im...

Quadrotor UAV Guidence For Ground Moving Target Tracking

The studies in aerial vehicles modeling and control have been increased rapidly recently. In this paper , a coordination of two types of heterogeneous robots , namely unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is considered. In this paper the UAV plays the role of a virtual leader for the UGVs. The system consists of a vision- based target detection algorithm that uses the ...

Synthetic Pheromone Mechanisms for Coordination Of Unmanned Vehicles

An ubiquitous based approach for Movement Coordination of Swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles using mobile networks

Swarms of robots have several military and civilian applications such as search and rescue missions, terrain exploration, industrial control, public security, fire combat, and several others. One of the biggest challenges of cooperative swarming in such application domains is the real-time coordination of the robot's movements in a wide-area setting, where it is expensive, or even impossible, t...
