Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuadrotor Obstacle Avoidance Based on Integral BacksteppingLianchuan Zhang, Young Baik Kim, Kil To ChongThis paper addressed obstacle avoidance problem of a quadrotor in outdoor environment. Path planning was finished by employing classical Dijkstra algorithm and the controller of the quadrotor adopted integral backstepping method. In order to get a smooth trajectory with time optimal and acceleration constraints properties, quantic polynomials were utilized to generate trajectory file. The scheme is particularly practical and useful … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 27 Jul 2016 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cost Smart Sensor DesignTakialddin A. Al SmadiProblem statement: Sensor with local processing power that enables it to react to local conditions without having to refer back to the central controller. The size and the cost of smart sensor circuit have been reduced. Approach: The use of microcontroller, such as (PIC16C715), with an 8-bit ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter) in one chip. This reduction in the circuit … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2016 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
