Path planning is a fundamental component for the control of autonomous vehicles (AVs), e.g., for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). There exist a plethora of path planning methodologies, each [...]
Realizing Motus Perpetuus has struggled scientists for centuries who strived to build ideal no-energy loss mechanisms. I’d like to mention Foucault’s pendulum that was used to prove [...]
We are pursuing a research endeavor starting from scratch: design, control, and prototyping of new unmanned aerial vehicles. In my team, we are working in this new fascinating domain, mixing [...]
Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) need to be connected exploiting a communication infrastructure based on robust, low latency, energy efficient transmission technology. Drones can also be [...]
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), referred also as to drones, find application in many fields. In my recent keynote at the IEEE Intellect 2019 Conference, I gave an overview of key applications [...]
Stochastic Trajectory Generation Using Particle Swarm Optimization for Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has been selected as the best research article published in 2017 in the [...]
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used in numerous industrial and commercial applications that include aerial photography, agricultural and environmental surveillance, parcel delivery. UAVs can [...]
There has been a tremendous growth of services and applications that exploit location information provided by positioning technology e.g. navigation systems, location aware communication [...]
