چکیده

But there is a set of aircraft tasks that takes long times, are monotonous, are performed in sensitive geographic places that demands specialized equipment and well trained crew. The examples of these tasks are: surveillance, patrol, data collection, search and rescue and so on. These tasks are being progressively substituted by drones or robotic aircrafts, which eliminated crew fatigue and improved performance. But although there are many improvements in electronic, robotic and computing, the costs of using the so called drones, especially in defense and surveillance increased a lot as stated in Table 1 [4,5].

Development of a VRML/Java unmanned airship simulating environment

We present in this paper one of the first Internetaccessible airship simulators, based on a comprehensive airship dynamic model. The simulator is meant to be used as a tool for the development of control and navigation methods for autonomous and semiautonomous robotic airships and as testbed for airship pilot training. Realistic views of both the airship in flight and that of a virtual pilot ar...

Multilinked position-path control for autonomous vehicle

In this paper control forces and torques automatic distribution algorithms for a vehicle actuators are considered. Base control algorithm is designed by position and path control method for vehicles [1] – [3]. This control algorithm is based on kinematics and dynamics equations of vehicle. Distribution of control forces and torques between actuators is solved by applying of the pseudoinverse ma...

Robotic Airships for Exploration of Planetary Bodies with an Atmosphere: Autonomy Challenges

Robotic unmanned aerial vehicles have great potential as surveying and instrument deployment platforms in the exploration of planets and moons with an atmosphere. Among the various types of planetary aerovehicles proposed, lighter-than-atmosphere (LTA) systems are of particular interest because of their extended mission duration and long traverse capabilities. In this paper, we argue that the u...
