An unmanned aerial vehicle as human-assistant robotics system

Abstract

According to the American Heritage Dictionary [1], Robotics is the science or study of the technology associated with the design, fabrication, theory, and application of Robots. The term Hoverbot is also often used to refer to sophisticated mechanical devices that are remotely controlled by human beings even though these devices are not autonomous. This paper describes a remotely controlled hoverbot by installing a transmitter and receiver on both sides that is the control computer (PC) and the hoverbot respectively. Data is transmitted as signal or instruction via a infrastructure network which is converted into a command for the hoverbot that operates at a remote site.

Formation and adjustment of manned/unmanned combat aerial vehicle cooperative engagement system

“…For it k , if the corresponding task coalition is tc q , it is a critical question that how to determine the resource distribution number of each UCAV according to UCAV resource load and task resource demand [15]. Take a typical case for example, if the resource demand vector of it k is (3, 3), resource load vectors of u 1 q , u 2 q and u 3 q in tc q are (4, 0), (0, 5) and (6,8) respectively. If the instantaneous distribution strategy is adopted, then resource load vectors of u 1 q , u 2 q and u 3 q in tc q will be (1, 0), (0, 2) and (6, 8) after performing it k .…”

“…The widespread use of UCAVs has given rise to a series of new air combat patterns, which include UCAV swarm engagement [3,4] and manned/unmanned combat aerial vehicle (MCAV/UCAV) cooperative engagement [5,6]. Limited by the autonomous level of UCAVs, it is difficult for UCAV swarm engagement to be realized in a short term, while MCAV/UCAV cooperative engagement is an attainable and realistic goal.…”
