Autonomous Close-Proximity Photovoltaic Panel Coating Using a Quadcopter
Dimitri Jacquemont, Carlo Bosio, Teaya Yang +7
Photovoltaic (PV) panels are becoming increasingly widespread in the domain of renewable energy, and thus, small efficiency gains can have massive effects. Anti-reflective and self…
Energy-Efficient Collaborative Transport of Tether-Suspended Payloads via Rotating Equilibrium
Eric Foss, Andrew Tai, Carlo Bosio +1
Collaborative aerial transportation of tethered payloads is fundamentally limited by space, power, and weight constraints. Conventional approaches rely on static equilibrium condit…
A Tactile Feedback Approach to Path Recovery after High-Speed Impacts for Collision-Resilient Drones
Anton Bredenbeck, Teaya Yang, Salua Hamaza +1
Aerial robots are a well-established solution for exploration, monitoring, and inspection, thanks to their superior maneuverability and agility. However, in many environments, they…
Towards Safe and Efficient Through-the-Canopy Autonomous Fruit Counting with UAVs
Teaya Yang, Roman Ibrahimov, Mark W. Mueller
We present an autonomous aerial system for safe and efficient through-the-canopy fruit counting. Aerial robot applications in large-scale orchards face significant challenges due t…
