SwarmNxt: Open-source Software-Hardware Platform for Fast and Agile Aerial Swarms
Charbel Toumieh, Niel Mistry, Benjamin Jarvis +4
Aerial robot swarms have the potential to transform time-critical safety, security, and search-and-rescue operations. By coordinating multiple robots, they can rapidly survey disas…
Flying Together: Human-Guided Immersive Shared Control for Aerial Robot Teams in Unknown Environments
Lou De Bel-Air, Luca Morando, Ruitao Chen +7
While autonomous multi-robots can achieve safe and coordinated navigation, they often struggle to adapt to unforeseen conditions and to capture operator-driven objectives in unstru…
Accurate Trajectory Tracking with Model Predictive Contouring Control for Bird-Scale Flapping-Wing MAVs
Charbel Toumieh, Jack Zeng, Niel Mistry +1
Flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles offer quieter and safer operation than rotary-wing drones, yet achieving precise autonomous control of bird-scale ornithopters remains challengi…
Flight through Narrow Gaps with Morphing-Wing Drones
Julius Wanner, Hoang-Vu Phan, Charbel Toumieh +1
The size of a narrow gap traversable by a fixed-wing drone is limited by its wingspan. Inspired by birds, here, we enable the traversal of a gap of sub-wingspan width and height us…
Fast ground-to-air transition with avian-inspired multifunctional legs
Won Dong Shin, Hoang-Vu Phan, Monica A. Daley +2
Most birds can navigate seamlessly between aerial and terrestrial environments. Whereas the forelimbs evolved into wings primarily for flight, the hindlimbs serve diverse functions…
Crash-perching on vertical poles with a hugging-wing robot
Mohammad Askari, Michele Benciolini, Hoang-Vu Phan +3
Perching with winged Unmanned Aerial Vehicles has often been solved by means of complex control or intricate appendages. Here, we present a simple yet novel method that relies on p…
