This paper presents novel quadrotor structures composed of only clockwise rotors. A multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) generally has both clockwise and counterclockwise rotors to counteract the torques from the rotors. While the proposed structures have only clockwise rotors, those rotors are…
This paper presents a coverage control algorithm for teams of quadcopters with downward facing visual sensors that prevents the appearance of coverage holes in-between the monitored areas while maximizing the coverage quality as much as possible. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for pre…
This paper presents a coverage control strategy for teams of quadcopters that ensures that no area is left unsurveyed in between the fields of view of the visual sensors mounted on the quadcopters. We present a locational cost that quantifies the team's coverage performance according to the sensors'…
