This paper presents the design and development of a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft intended for autonomous missions. It provides an overview of the current state of VTOL technology and its applications. The paper focuses on fixed-wing VTOL aircraft created by Academic Scientific Association High Flyers from the Silesian University of Technology in Poland. The design process and considerations are discussed in detail, including aerodynamics, selection of materials, hardware, control systems and software. Finally, the paper discusses real-world scenarios that the designed UAV could be used to solve real-world problems, such as targeted plant protection or the deployment of oral vaccines for wildlife. The authors successfully tested solutions presented in the paper during competitions and real practical applications. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive look into the design and development of a VTOL aircraft for autonomous missions and presents its effectiveness and capabilities in solving real-life problems.

The superior performance of object detectors is often established under the condition that the test samples are in the same distribution as the training data. However, in many practical applications, out-of-distribution (OOD) instances are inevitable and usually lead to uncertainty in the results. In this paper, we propose a novel, intuitive, and scalable probabilistic object detection method for OOD detection. Unlike other uncertainty-modeling methods that either require huge computational costs to infer the weight distributions or rely on model training through synthetic outlier data, our method is able to distinguish between in-distribution (ID) data and OOD data via weight parameter sampling from proposed Gaussian distributions based on pre-trained networks. We demonstrate that our Bayesian object detector can achieve satisfactory OOD identification performance by reducing the FPR95 score by up to 8.19% and increasing the AUROC score by up to 13.94% when trained on BDD100k and VOC datasets as the ID datasets and evaluated on COCO2017 dataset as the OOD dataset.

This article presents the problem of designing a nonlinear observer for an active magnetic suspension system. The design process of the nonlinear Luenberger observer (also known as the Kazantzis-Kravaris-Luenberger observer) is discussed. Particular attention was paid to the main nonlinearity of the system - the electromagnetic force, which was modeled applying the function describing the change in inductance as a function of the distance of the levitating object from the electromagnet surface. Theoretical analyses were confirmed by the results of experimental studies in which the task of moving the sphere between the given positions using current control was carried out. control tasks were conducted in the real-time regime on an embedded platform. The measured signals and estimated velocity were analyzed in the context of future implementations in control applications.
In a world in a continuous and rapid change, it is absolutely necessary for our students to keep up with the rapid progress of new technologies: Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtua...
