Heute kamen endlich die restlichen Teile für mein KI-Lager-Drohnen-Inventur-Projekt für das #ConceptOffice #ERP aus Tschechien an.

Maja und Willi haben ja schon gezeigt, dass sie autonom vom KI-Server gesteuert Regale abfliegen können und das KI-System anhand der Kamerabilder die Artikel zählen.

Die beiden Spielzeug-Drohnen haben Pionierarbeit geleistet aber nun ist es Zeit für „professionelle“ Hardware im Format 2,5“ CineWhoop.

MathWorks의 MATLAB과 Simulink를 활용해 비행 전에 UAV(무인기)용 신뢰성 있는 비행 제어 아키텍처를 설계·테스트·튜닝·검증할 수 있다는 안내입니다. 수식뿐 아니라 시뮬레이션 기반의 검증 워크플로우로 실제 비행 전 제어 시스템을 구성하고 검증하는 과정을 강조합니다.

Controlling Hovering

Hummingbirds and many insects hover when feeding, escaping predators, and mating. While scientists have decoded the mechanics of a hummingbird’s figure-8-like hovering wingstroke, it’s been harder to understand how the creatures control their hovering. Most of our attempts to control hovering require more computational power than hummingbirds and insects are thought to have. But this study describes a new control scheme: one that allows stable, real-time hovering with little computational cost. (Image credit: J. Wainscoat; research credit: A. Elgohary and S.

Flying Without a Rudder

Aircraft typically use a vertical tail to keep the craft from rolling or yawing. Birds, on the other hand, maneuver their wings and tail feathers to counter unwanted motions. Researchers found that the list of necessary adjustments is quite small: just 4 for the tail and 2 for the wings. Implementing those 6 controllable degrees of freedom on their bird-inspired PigeonBot II allowed the biorobot to fly steadily, even in turbulent conditions, without a rudder. Adapting such flight control to the less flexible surfaces of a typical aircraft will take time and creativity, but the savings in mass and drag could be worth it. (Image credit: E.

Skydiving Salamanders

The wandering salamander can spend its entire 20-year lifespan in the canopy of a coast redwood. When predators come calling, they have a special skill that helps them get away: skydiving. These little amphibians have no webbed appendages and no wings, but they’re some of the most skillful skydivers out there. By carefully repositioning its tail and feet, a wandering salamander controls its pitch, yaw, and roll. It’s not only able to orient itself as it falls; it can actually steer itself to a safe landing! Other salamander species, as seen in the video above, do not share this skill. Check out the full Deep Look video to see these incredible gliders in action. (Video and image credit: Deep Look; see also C. Brown)
