Agile manoeuvring of dandelion-inspired micro-flyers with vortex-enabled stability
Jianfeng Yang, Soumarup Bhattacharyya, Aditya Potnis +2
Manoeuvring untethered, centimetre-scale airborne structures has been a long-standing challenge. Active flight systems, relying on high-power-density actuators alongside mechanical…
Controlling Tip Vortices and Cavitation through Tip Permeability for Tidal Turbines
Yabin Liu, Junchen Tan, Richard H. J. Willden +2
Blade-tip vortices can lead to wakes, cavitation and noise, and their control remains a significant challenge for tidal and wind turbines. In the present work, we propose and inves…
Passive control of wing tip vortices through a grooved-tip design
Junchen Tan, ShÅ«ji Åtomo, Ignazio Maria Viola +1
This paper investigates the characteristics and control of tip vortices generated by a finite wing, focusing on the impact of the novel grooved-tip designs. Tip vortices can lead t…
Neural Network Verification for Gliding Drone Control: A Case Study
Colin Kessler, Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Marco Casadio +5
As machine learning is increasingly deployed in autonomous systems, verification of neural network controllers is becoming an active research domain. Existing tools and annual veri…
