This article presents a novel flight assistance system, obstacle avoidance system for teleoperation (OAST), whose main role is to make teleoperation of small multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) safer and more efficient ...

This paper describes an extended theory of the displacement of the objective speckle pattern resulting from displacement and/or deformation of a coherently illuminated diffuse object where the influence of the surface shape ...

Trans-laminar fracture is an important topic for engineering composites. In this study, trans-laminar fracture initiation in quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates made of non-crimp fabrics was examined using in situ fast ...

In Iran the prevalence of traffic injuries and death from vehicle collisions are high. Driver engagement in non-driving-related tasks has been previously identified as an important contributing factor to crashes. Therefore, ...

This paper presents an adaptive incremental nonlinear backstepping sliding-mode (INBSM) controller, for fault tolerant tracking control of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft with unknown disturbances and actuator faults. ...

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) cycles can achieve higher efficiency compared to steam-Rankine or Air-Brayton cycles, therefore they are promising for concentrated solar power applications. Although sCO2 cycles show ...

The challenge of improving the accuracy of monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is considered, which widely appears in computer vision, autonomous robotics, and remote sensing. A new framework (ORB-GMS-SLAM ...

For the first time, practical applications as an alarm device and automatic filling of an aquarium using an electromechanical switch manufactured from metallic glass (MG) ribbon is proposed. The elastic response of an ...

Although simulation-based fatigue analysis is a standard tool adopted in every sector including automotive industry, the design of engine components in automotive and motorsport applications mostly relies on simplified ...

Modeling oceans is computationally expensive. Rising demands for speedier and higher resolution forecasts, better estimations of prediction uncertainty, and need for additional modules further increase the costs of ...
