Abstract The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a Light Detection and Ranging
(LiDAR) scanner provides a versatile and efficient platform for mobile laser scanning in …

The letter investigates how the behavior of small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is
influenced by the system's close proximity to the ground/rigid surfaces both at hover and in …

There has been considerable recent work in motion planning for UAVs to enable
aggressive, highly dynamic flight in known environments with motion capture systems …

Abstract Electric Vertical-Take-Off-and-Landing aircraft has been emerging as a
revolutionary transportation mode. A major limiting factor for unmanned and manned …

In this paper, a quadrotor dynamic model's energy efficiency was investigated. A method for
the design of the dynamic model which assures energy consumption estimation was …

Inspired by the limited battery life of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), this
research investigated hierarchical real-time control of UAVs with the generation of energy …

Nowadays, it exists path planning strategies dedicated to generate trajectories considering
different navigation issues in UAV multirotors, such as 3D navigation in cluttered and …

This work focuses on catching safely an aerial micro-robot in mid-air using another aerial
robot that is equipped with a universal soft gripper. To avoid aerodynamic disturbances such …

We present an indoor autonomous quadrotor flight that incorporates motion planning,
trajectory generation, and trajectory tracking. The asymptotically optimal Rapidly-exploring …

Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles have a limited quantity of embedded energy. To
preserve and guaranty the success of the UAV mission, we should manage energy …
