From Ceilings to Walls: Universal Dynamic Perching of Small Aerial Robots on Surfaces with Variable Orientations
Bryan Habas, Aaron Brown, Donghyeon Lee +2
This work demonstrates universal dynamic perching capabilities for quadrotors of various sizes and on surfaces with different orientations. By employing a non-dimensionalization fr…
From Flies to Robots: Inverted Landing in Small Quadcopters with Dynamic Perching
Bryan Habas, Bo Cheng
Inverted landing is a routine behavior among a number of animal fliers. However, mastering this feat poses a considerable challenge for robotic fliers, especially to perform dynami…
Inverted Landing in a Small Aerial Robot via Deep Reinforcement Learning for Triggering and Control of Rotational Maneuvers
Bryan Habas, Jack W. Langelaan, Bo Cheng
Inverted landing in a rapid and robust manner is a challenging feat for aerial robots, especially while depending entirely on onboard sensing and computation. In spite of this, thi…
Optimal Inverted Landing in a Small Aerial Robot with Varied Approach Velocities and Landing Gear Designs
Bryan Habas, Bader AlAttar, Brian Davis +2
Inverted landing is a challenging feat to perform in aerial robots, especially without external positioning. However, it is routinely performed by biological fliers such as bees, f…
