The paper is focused on the development of algorithms for Autonomous Rotary-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (RW MAVs) in indoor GPS-denied environments. In such missions, GPS may be unavailable and the map of the environment is a priory unknown. This paper presents a modular system consisted of the required components for flying RW MAVs in indoor environments. These components include the methods fo...

Topspin is one of the most widely used hitting techniques in a tennis match and it an effective tool to win over opponent. Hence, flight path simulation spinning ball can be tremendous analysis help players perfect their game. This article proposes fuzzy logic model based on principles kinematics mechanics. study analyzes physical characteristics during process, which are divided into two categ...

SYNOPSIS. Hypotheses explaining the use of intermittent bounding and undulating flight modes in birds are considered. Existing theoretical models of intermittent flight have assumed that the animal flies at a constant speed throughout. They predict that mean mechanical power in undulating (flap-gliding) flight is reduced compared to steady flight over a broad range of speeds, but is reduced in ...

–A flight path rate demand modified three-loop lateral missile autopilot design methodology for a class of guided missile, based on state feedback, output feedback, reduced order Das & Ghosal observer (DGO) is proposed. The open loop undamped model of three-loop autopilot has been stabilized by using pole placement and state feedback. The non-minimum phase feature of rear controlled missile air...

Abstract Flight path optimization is designed for minimizing aircraft noise, fuel consumption and air pollution around airports. This paper gives theoretical considerations and algorithms solving the Hamilton-JacobiBellman equation (HJB) of aircraft trajectory optimization. Comparisons with direct and indirect methods are carried out. The OCP problem is transformed into new equalities-constrain...

Virtual colonoscopy is a computerized procedure to examine colonic polyps from a CT data set. To automatically fly through a long and complex-shaped colon with a virtual camera, we propose an efficient method to simultaneously generate view-positions and view-directions. After obtaining a 3-D binary colon model, we find an initial path that represents rough camera directions and positions along...

There currently exists a class of problems for which Artificial Intelligence based problem-solring methods, although desirable, are deemed impracticaL Characteristic of this class is a requirement to symbolically process a rapid and high volume of data in a real-time environment. Highly complex systems must coordinate data (referred to as "Knowledge" by Garvey et. al. [11) acquired from a wide ...
