(2017-12-08)This research introduces a novel method to estimate nearshore bottom topography using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone. The UAV was manipulated over the area of interest to film video, and the Particle image ...
-
(2023-08-07)Information gain-based approach is frequently used for exploration in human-machine systems where multiple robots aid a remotely located operator in classification. The amount of information and the marginal increment in ...
-
(2019-11-14)Missions such as forest fire monitoring, military surveillance and infrastructure monitoring are referred to as persistent monitoring missions. These missions rely heavily on continual data collection from various locations, ...
-
(2016-12-12)As the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) begins to allow commercial Unmanned Aircraft (UA) flights in the United States, businesses and organizations of all types are exploring a wide variety of potential applications. ...
-
(2019-08-28)This research aims at developing path and motion planning algorithms for a tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to visually assist a teleoperated primary robot in unstructured or confined environments. The emerging state ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)This thesis describes the development of the Texas A&M University Autonomous Helicopter System and the integration of obstacle avoidance capabilities into that system. The helicopter system, composed of a Bergen Observer ...
-
(2020-08-19)Sensors are increasingly being used in agricultural settings to provide data on the physical characteristics of plants under field conditions. Accurate data provides researchers and producers with the ability to make ...
-
(2018-11-20)This research demonstrates a novel idea to autonomously conduct infrastructure inspection using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) via simulation and a proof of concept. Currently, inspection is conducted either manually, ...
-
(2021-08-18)Smutgrass (Sporobolus indicus) is an aggressive, perennial bunchgrass that invades introduced and native pastures primarily in the southeastern part of the United States. It is problematic to agriculture in range and pasture ...
-
(2021-08-18)Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) allow collection of imagery with unprecedented temporal, spatial, and spectral resolutions suitable for specialized purposes. Crop yield data is critical both for precision agriculture management ...
-
(2021-01-22)Wave energy has been identified as a major cause of wetland edge erosion in general. This dissertation focuses on the numerical modeling of wind-wave and sediment transport affecting erosion and accretion of salt marsh edges ...
-
(2011-08-08)Active flow control has been extensively explored in wind tunnel studies but successful in-flight implementation of an active flow control technology still remains a challenge. This thesis presents implementation of active ...
