Landing Drones In Turbulent Open Waters & Harsh Winds
Landing drones in harsh winds and turbulent open waters poses its own unique challenges. Landing them on an unmanned surface vehicle can cause damage due to the severe roll and pitch angle of the USV. Parakh M. Gupta, Eric Pairet, Tiago Nascimento, and Martin Saska have come up with a novel model predictive control approach to enable UAVs to land autonomously on a USV in harsh conditions. As the researchers explain:
The MPC employs a novel objective function and an online decomposition of the oscillatory motion of the vessel in order to predict, attempt, and accomplish the landing during near-zero tilt of the landing platform. The nonlinear prediction of the motion of the vessel is performed using visual data from an onboard camera.
Swivl C5 Robotic Tablet Dock for Zoom, Microsoft Teams
Meet the Swivl C5: a robotic tablet dock that pans and tilts your iPad to keep you in the frame. It can be connected to up to 5 markers to capture the whole room. You can use this for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet streaming.
Thanks to the C5, you can record up to 5 independent audio tracks and from up to 5 video sources. It has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 6 hours. It has a max pan and tilt speed of 90-deg/sec and 10-deg/sec respectively.
evoBOT Dynamically Balanced Autonomous Transport Robot
