Abstract In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been increasingly used for
bridge inspection. Although UAVs are expected to automate the whole bridge inspection …

As research has turned to the success of artificial intelligence to augment the inspection
process, the need for image data is particularly present. However, across the structural …

Nowadays, the number of aging high-rise civil structures is growing throughout the world,
and most of them use concrete as a building material. Concrete may lose its strength due to …

Briefing: With the rapid development of information technologies such as digital twin,
extended reality, and blockchain, the hype around “metaverse” is increasing at astronomical …

A collision-free formation control problem for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with
directed switching topologies and disturbances is investigated. A novel distributed control …

Effective road maintenance can not only achieve a balance between limited resources and
long-term high-efficiency performance of road but also reduce the loss of life and property …

In this article, a quantized control capable of appointed-time performances for quadrotor
attitude tracking is investigated. A continuous and piecewise behavior boundary, rather than …

Ensuring traffic safety is crucial, which necessitates the detection and prevention of road
surface defects. As a result, there has been a growing interest in the literature on the subject …

This study proposes an adaptive event-triggered (ET) quantized attitude control for
quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (QUAV) with an appointed-time prescribed performance …

Defects are essential indicators to gauge the structural integrity and safety of reinforced
concrete bridges. Non-destructive inspection has been pervasively explored over the last …
