We present a vision-based algorithm designed to enable an autonomous helicopter to land on a moving target. The helicopter is required to identify a target, track it, and land on ...
—In this paper, we address the design of an autopilot for autonomous landing of a helicopter on a rocking ship, due to rough sea. The deck is modeled to have a sinusoidal motion....
— We present the design of an optimal trajectory controller for landing a helicopter on a moving target. The trajectory planner is based on the Variational Hamiltonian and Euler-...
We present the design and implementation of a realtime, vision-based landing algorithm for an autonomous helicopter. The helicopter is required to navigate from an initial positio...
