AUSLUN: A Fixed-Hover UAV--USV System for GNSS-Denied Maritime Search and Navigation
Siyuan Yang, Zikai Jia, Hailiang Kuang +4
Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) denial can prevent an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) from both finding a distant vessel and maintaining a globally referenced approach. Th…
Acceleration-Based Control of Fixed-Wing UAVs for Guidance Applications
Jixiang Wang, Siyuan Yang, Ziyi Wu +5
Acceleration-commanded guidance laws (e.g., proportional navigation) are attractive for high-level decision making, but their direct deployment on fixed-wing UAVs is challenging be…
AMO-HEAD: Adaptive MARG-Only Heading Estimation for UAVs under Magnetic Disturbances
Qizhi Guo, Siyuan Yang, Junning Lyu +3
Accurate and robust heading estimation is crucial for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) when conducting indoor inspection tasks. However, the cluttered nature of indoor environments…
Drone Carrier: An Integrated Unmanned Surface Vehicle for Autonomous Inspection and Intervention in GNSS-Denied Maritime Environment
Yihao Dong, Muhayyu Ud Din, Francesco Lagala +5
This paper introduces an innovative drone carrier concept that is applied in maritime port security or offshore rescue. This system works with a heterogeneous system consisting of…
Long-Range Vision-Based UAV-assisted Localization for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Waseem Akram, Siyuan Yang, Hailiang Kuang +7
The global positioning system (GPS) has become an indispensable navigation method for field operations with unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in marine environments. However, GPS ma…
