Recent developments in the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have made them suitable for use in various industrial settings. Their ability to access difficult and remote locations, as well as providing remote manipulation and visual inspection capabilities, make them valuable for various industrial applications. However, operating UAVs can be challenging, particularly in cluttered environments. This research aims to enhance the teleoperation experience by providing human-meaningful information on the remote user interface, thereby improving the operator’s situational awareness. Shared autonomy routines utilizing the previously collected information are also developed to further assist the operator with challenging control tasks. The proposed system has been tested in simulated environments and on actual hardware.

In this study, a method utilizing a 3D LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) sensor for mapping and obstacle detection in autonomous vehicles has been developed. The LiDAR sensor employs laser beams to detect the positions and distances of surrounding objects. Data from the LiDAR were processed to generate 2D maps from the 3D point cloud. During this process, obstacles within the vehicle's navigable height range, as well as those that wouldn't impede its movement were identified. Using a filtering method, points outside of these obstacles were removed to create a map. In experimental studies, it was observed that the developed method can accurately detect challenging obstacles such as fences made of thin wires. Consequently, it is evident that this method holds the potential to offer more reliable and safe obstacle detection for autonomous vehicles.

This paper provides a detailed mechanical characterization and stress analysis of kirigami sheets across various structural configurations, highlighting their potential applications in soft robotics. The study examines linear, circular, triangular, and trapezoidal kirigami patterns through finite element simulations, complemented by experimental validation. Deformation parameters are systematically applied to both single and multiple units of kirigami sheets to assess their capacity for mechanical elongation and load sustainability. Additionally, friction analyses are discussed via simulation to explore the anchoring effects of these kirigami structures when applied to soft robots. The results of this study enhance our understanding of the mechanical properties of kirigami structures and their practical implications for soft robotics design.

This study presents a novel approach for testing visual servoing on 3 DOF UAVs (Unmanned aerial vehicles) in an indoor environment with no GPS by employing a combination of a physical 3 DOF and simulating the rest of degrees, 2 D markers are used to store instructions to previously known coordinates in the environment. Low-cost UAV hardware with an onboard camera can extract the task information from such markers without needing a ground station computer and continuous marker detection to follow a particular desired trajectory. Such a goal is achieved through the presence of markers, such as QR (Quick Response) codes, at selected locations, controlling the UAV motion to read and extract the stored information in the code, and controlling various states of UAV to fulfill the desired motion of moving through the site. This solution combines simulation and physical testing such that final algorithm can be applied on 6 DOF UAVs for asset monitoring and inspection in indoor environments, and non-experts can modify the vehicle’s path by providing the QR codes. Experimental results for the centering of UAV for accurate QR code reading using PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller and LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) algorithm for attitude control are tested on Quanser’s 3DOF hover quadcopter in LabVIEW environment. Furthermore, hardware-in-the-loop simulation tests are performed to simulate the control of the linear motion of the UAV. The results achieved so far are promising and give ample encouragement to test and evaluate the technique on a 6-DOF UAV.
