ABSTRACT
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have broad applications in agriculture, disaster relief, transportation, aerial surveillance, and construction. Although UAVs are beneficial, they also have a plethora of limitations including flight time, energy consumption, intermittent connectivity. The utilization of multi-UAV networks allows UAVs to collaborate on tasks for short periods of time, which makes them particularly useful in natural disasters. Delay Tolerant Opportunistic Networks (DTONs) do not rely solely on centralized infrastructure, which can circumvent connectivity issues that commonly occur in post natural disaster scenarios. By designing an algorithm to optimize UAV placement within a DTON for maximum throughput within the network.

Multiservice UAVs for Emergency Tasks in Post-disaster Scenarios
iFIRE '19: Proceedings of the ACM MobiHoc workshop on innovative aerial communication solutions for FIrst REsponders network in emergency scenariosUAVs are increasingly being employed to carry out surveillance, parcel delivery, communication-support and other specific tasks. In certain cases, the same geographical area may be in need of multiple services, which can be carried out by the same ...
Automatic Control for Aerobatic Maneuvering of Agile Fixed-Wing UAVs
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become ubiquitous in a broadening range of applications, including many civilian uses. UAVs are typically categorized into two categories: conventional fixed-wing aircraft, which are associated with ...
Precision Deep-Stall Landing of Fixed-Wing UAVs Using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
AbstractTo be able to recover a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a small space like a boat deck or a glade in the forest, a steep and precise descent is needed. One way to reduce the speed of the UAV during landing is by performing a deep-stall ...
