This paper presents a novel Sliding Mode-Based Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (SM-NMPC) for controlling Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) such as Quadrotors and a 10-propeller drone (Cube-Drone). The proposed method combines Aggregated Hierarchical Sliding Mode Control (AHSMC) strategies with Nonl…
This work presents a comprehensive LiDAR-inertial odometry framework featuring robust smoothing and mapping capabilities, effectively correcting LiDAR feature point skewness using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). While the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is a common choice for nonlinear motion estim…
Culverts, essential components of drainage systems, require regular inspection to ensure optimal functionality. However, culvert inspections pose numerous challenges, including accessibility, manpower, defect localization, and reliance on superficial assessments. To address these challenges, we prop…
