Deep Direct Visual Servoing of Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots
Ibrahim Abdulhafiz, Ali A. Nazari, Taha Abbasi-Hashemi +4
Vision-based control provides a significant potential for the end-point positioning of continuum robots under physical sensing limitations. Traditional visual servoing requires fea…
Path Planning and Controlled Crash Landing of a Quadcopter in case of a Rotor Failure
Mojtaba Hedayatpour, Mehran Mehrandezh, Farrokh Janabi-Sharifi
This paper presents a framework for controlled emergency landing of a quadcopter, experiencing a rotor failure, away from sensitive areas. A complete mathematical model capturing t…
A Unified Approach to Configuration-based Dynamic Analysis of Quadcopters for Optimal Stability
Mojtaba Hedayatpour, Mehran Mehrandezh, Farrokh Janabi-Sharifi
A special type of rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), called Quadcopter have prevailed to the civilian use for the past decade. They have gained significant amount of atten…
Optimal-power Configurations for Hover Solutions in Mono-spinners
Mojtaba Hedayatpour, Mehran Mehrandezh, Farrokh Janabi-Sharifi
Rotary-wing flying machines draw attention within the UAV community for their in-place hovering capability, and recently, holonomic motion over fixed-wings. In this paper, we inves…
