1. AN ADAPTED UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WATER SAMPLING
In this work an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was adapted to be used as an environmental tool to collect water samples of sea, estuary, and mangrove for further analysis by gas chromatography with a mass detector (GC-MS). The sampling automated system was based on a microcontroller, a solenoid valve, and a peristaltic mini-pump that was coupled to a quadcopt

3. EFFECT OF THE DOWNWASH FLOW FIELD OF A SINGLE-ROTOR UAV ON DROPLET VELOCITY IN SUGARCANE PLANT PROTECTION
ABSTRACT Protecting against the main sugarcane diseases and insect pests requires good control at the base of the plant; therefore, higher droplet penetration is required during plant protection. The objectives of this research were to explore the movement mechanism of droplets in a sugarcane protection operation using a single-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle

4. Assessing Water Erosion Processes in Degraded Area Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Imagery
ABSTRACT The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques can contribute to increase the accessibility, accuracy, and resolution of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) used for soil erosion monitoring. This study aimed to evaluate the use of four DEMs obtained over a year to monitor erosion processes in an erosion-degraded ar

5. Effect of Aerodynamic Configuration Parameters on Lateral-Directional Stability of Double-Swept Flying Wing Aircraft
ABSTRACT: Poor lateral-directional stability due to the absence of vertical stabilizer is a great risk to the aircraft with flying wing layout. In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle with this kind of configuration is chosen as the research object. A three-dimensional model of the unmanned aerial vehicle is established, and then the sensitivity analysis i

7. Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of UAV Under Uncertainty
ABSTRACT: Uncertainty-based multidisciplinary design optimization considers probabilistic variables and parameters and provides an approach to account for sources of uncertainty in design optimization. The aim of this study was to apply a decoupling uncertainty-based multidisciplinary design optimization method without any dependence on probability mathemati

9. Design Analysis of Solar-Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
ABSTRACT One of the main problems in micro unmanned aerial vehicles is endurance or flight time since the general domain aircraft uses conventional fuel, which is a pollutant, has a limited life and is costly. Then, there is a huge demand for using an unlimited non-exhaustible source of energy. Solar energy is one of the unlimited available renewable energy

11. A Comparative Study of Four Feedback Linearization Schemes for Motion Planning of Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
ABSTRACT In this paper, different feedback linearization schemes are studied to address the motion planning problem of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles. For a unmanned aerial vehicle model with second-order dynamics, several schemes are studied to make the vehicle (i) fly over and (ii) make a loitering around the objective position. For each scheme, compa

12. A Novel Integrated Guidance and Control System Design in Formation Flight
ABSTRACT: Bird's formation flight is one of the best types of cooperation in nature. The bird's flight was the motivation of humans for flying. After one century of flight development, bird's formation flight was the motivation of humans for aircraft's formation flight. The closeness of aircrafts in formation flight and the effect of disturbances such as vor
