Vision-Based Control of a Tether-Suspended Aerial Radiation Sensing Payload
Ian Snider, Brian J. Quiter, Emil Rofors +1
Aerial radiation surveys achieve higher sensitivity when the radiation detector is held close to the ground. Detector sensitivity falls off roughly with the inverse square of the d…

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…
