Tiny blimps are a novel class of miniature flying vehicles, which are emerging in the field of small-scale autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These small airships are inspired by their larger counterparts and hold great potential in various ...

Monitoring swimmer performance is crucial for improving training and enhancing athletic techniques. Traditional methods for tracking swimmers, such as above-water and underwater cameras, face limitations due to the need for multiple cameras and ...

The utilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Internet of Things (IoT) applications has recently gained widespread popularity. Recently, fixed-edge servers have been used for computation offloading services to IoT devices. These nodes have ...

Advances in autonomous robotic networks have allowed for many applications in communication, exploration, and monitoring. However, a major limitation in developing truly autonomous systems with robots is its operation time, often bottlenecked by the ...

Reliable wireless communication is crucial for remote operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Yet, staying in control of the vehicle at all times poses a great challenge, given the dynamics of the wireless channel. Existing technologies are ...

Advancements in robotics have led to innovative approaches that employ quadcopters for carrying loads. In this paper, we introduce a unique system: a cooperative aerial robot delivery system employing a push-based method to transport payloads. This ...

Routing for intra-platoon communication between UAVs has been of great interest recently. We investigate Petal Routing, a type of geographic routing previously applied to routing in drone platoons, and present its adaptability for variable network ...

The integration of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations within 5G and 6G networks offers a promising solution to extend global communication coverage and reduce latency. However, the inherent high velocity and large number of LEO satellites ...

We report on the lessons we learned on programming human-drone interactions during a three-day challenge where five teams of drone novices each programmed a nanodrone to be piloted through an obstacle course using bodily movement. Center to the ...
