A Systems Engineering Framework for Vision-Language-Enabled UAV Triage and Disaster Response
Swapnil Saha, Bhuvan Rajanasiriyur Jagadeesha, Karishma Patnaik +1
Recent advances in Vision Language Models (VLMs) have created new opportunities for disaster response, where responders must interpret large volumes of sensor data under time press…
Design, Contact Modeling, and Collision-inclusive Planning of a Dual-stiffness Aerial RoboT (DART)
Yogesh Kumar, Karishma Patnaik, Wenlong Zhang
Collision-resilient quadrotors have gained significant attention given their potential for operating in cluttered environments and leveraging impacts to perform agile maneuvers. Ho…
Tactile-based Exploration, Mapping and Navigation with Collision-Resilient Aerial Vehicles
Karishma Patnaik, Aravind Adhith Pandian Saravanakumaran, Wenlong Zhang
This article introduces XPLORER, a passive deformable UAV with a spring-augmented chassis and proprioceptive state awareness, designed to endure collisions and maintain smooth cont…
Adaptive Attitude Control for Foldable Quadrotors
Karishma Patnaik, Wenlong Zhang
Recent quadrotors have transcended conventional designs, emphasizing more on foldable and reconfigurable bodies. The state of the art still focuses on the mechanical feasibility of…
A Soft-Bodied Aerial Robot for Collision Resilience and Contact-Reactive Perching
Pham H. Nguyen, Karishma Patnaik, Shatadal Mishra +2
Current aerial robots demonstrate limited interaction capabilities in unstructured environments when compared with their biological counterparts. Some examples include their inabil…
Collision Recovery Control of a Foldable Quadrotor
Karishma Patnaik, Shatadal Mishra, Zachary Chase +1
Autonomous missions of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are prone to collisions owing to environmental disturbances and localization errors. Consequently, a UAV that can endur…
Design and Control of SQUEEZE: A Spring-augmented QUadrotor for intEractions with the Environment to squeeZE-and-fly
Karishma Patnaik, Shatadal Mishra, Seyed Mostafa Rezayat Sorkhabadi +1
This paper presents the design and control of a novel quadrotor with a variable geometry to physically interact with cluttered environments and fly through narrow gaps and passagew…
