In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have
gained increasing interest in both academia and industries. The evolution of UAV …

Research on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been increasingly popular in the past
decades, and UAVs have been widely used in industrial inspection, remote sensing for …

We are witnessing the advent of a new era of robots—drones—that can autonomously fly in
natural and man-made environments. These robots, often associated with defence …

Micro Aerial Vehicles (FOV) are very suitable for flying in indoor environments, but
autonomous navigation is challenging due to their strict hardware limitations. This paper …

Flying insects are able to fly smartly in an unpredictable environment. It has been found that
flying insects have smart neurons inside their tiny brains that are sensitive to visual motion …

We have developed a visually based autopilot which is able to make an air vehicle
automatically take off, cruise and land, while reacting appropriately to wind disturbances …

Powered flight was once a capability limited only to animals, but by identifying useful
attributes of animal flight and building on these with technological advances, engineers …

This paper presents a novel indoor navigation and ranging strategy via monocular camera.
By exploiting the architectural orthogonality of the indoor environments, we introduce a new …

Motion perception is a critical capability determining a variety of aspects of insects' life,
including avoiding predators, foraging, and so forth. A good number of motion detectors …

Motion perception is an essential ability for animals and artificially intelligent systems
interacting effectively, safely with surrounding objects and environments. Biological visual …
