The Rapid Rise of Drone Technology

This analysis is aimed at identifying the ethical issues related to a variety of types of Drone aircraft as they are currently deployed in recreational, civilian/commercial and military arenas. A series of examples will be examined in order to attempt ...

Precise drone landing remains a persistent challenge due to the high level of accuracy needed. We propose a novel technique that collects actual drone landing data and employs machine learning algorithms to predict errors in autonomous landing. ...

• A novel framework for predicting drone landing errors precisely.
• A comprehensive dataset of real drone landings to ascertain influential factors impacting landing accuracy.
• Application of advanced machine learning approaches to ...

The article presents a finite-state machine, or FSM, for multi-vehicle airlift and experimental results of untethered multi-quadrotor flight. The rationale is as follows: before attaching a payload to a group of drones and deploying these vehicles in ...
