A system that can fly off and touches down to execute particular tasks is a flying robot. Nowadays, these robots are capable of without human control make decisions according the situation with help onboard sensors controllers. Among robots, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) highly attractive applicable for military civilian purposes. These applications require motion planning UAVs along collisio...

We present VG-Swarm, a practical and effective method for aerial robots dynamic encirclement, which consists of vision-based gene regulatory network (V-GRN) visual perception module. For each flying robot deployed with the proposed method, relative spatial positions surrounding robots, targets, obstacles are first obtained by omnidirectional monocular vision. Then is used to generate concentrat...

flapping-wing robotic insects are small, highly maneuverable flying robots inspired by biologicalinsects and useful for a wide range of tasks, including exploration, environmental monitoring, searchand rescue, and surveillance. recently, robotic insects driven by piezoelectric actuators have achievedthe important goal of taking off with external power; however, fully autonomous operation requir...

In this paper, two basic approaches for kinematics modelling of multiple manipulator Space Free-Flying Robots (SFFRs) are developed. In the barycentric vector approach, the center of mass of the whole system is taken as a representative point for the system’s translational motion, and a set of body-fixed vectors which reflect both geometric configuration and mass distribution of the system are ...

As one of today's popular research field, mobile robots, are widely used in entertainment, search and rescue, health, military, agriculture many other fields with the advantages technological developments. Object detection is methods for robots to gather report information about its environment during those tasks. With ability detect classify objects, a robot can determine type number objects a...

Aerial–aquatic robots have promising applications due to their ability operate in air and water with different motion modes. However, challenges such as water/air transition multimedia movement still limit development. Inspired by the aerial–aquatic behavior of wild ducks, an robot tunable tilting motors a delta wing is introduced. The can perform multimode motion, including flying air, swimmin...

In this work, we propose an improved artificially weighted spanning tree coverage (IAWSTC) algorithm for distributed path planning of multiple flying robots. The proposed approach is suitable environment exploration in cluttered regions, where unexpected obstacles can appear. addition, present online re-planner smoothing with detected obstacles. To validate our approach, performed simulations a...

Robot swarms are collections of simple robots cooperating without centralized control. Control algorithms for swarms are often inspired by decentralised problem-solving systems found in nature. In this paper we conduct a formal analysis of an algorithm inspired by the foraging behaviour of ants, where a swarm of flying vehicles searches for a target at some unknown location. We show how both ex...

We present our approach to building intelligent robots, which we call minimalist biomimetic robotics. In this philosophy, biology is used as a source of inspiration and Ockham’s razor is applied to obtain minimal solutions. The goal is to create embodied and situated agents that are efficient at performing their tasks, but have enough redundancy in sensors, actuators and control architecture to...

More often homeland security, disaster mitigation and military operations are performed in urban environments. Time consuming, labor intensive and possibly dangerous tasks like bomb detection, search-and-rescue and reconnaissance done with robots could save resources. An aerial robot capable of flying in closed quarters like warehouses, stadiums, underground parking lots and tunnels is featured...
