The paper presents a docking-type automatic landing system that works in tandem with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). The system utilizes a pyramid-shaped landing gear and pad for effective landing. In marine environments, a docking device guides the drone to land securely. To test the system, a ship's behavior was simulated using a 3-DoF motion platform, and the successful operation and utility of the docking-type automatic landing system were demonstrated.

항공기의 자동 착륙 알고리즘을 위한 고 정밀 유도방식에 IBLS(Integrity Beacons Landing System)나 MLS(Microwave Landing System)와 같은 유도 제어 방식을 사용하여 유인 항공기나 무인 항공기의 유도 착륙에 사용하고 있다. 당 연구에서는 무인항공기의 자동 착륙을 위한 실제적인 요구사항들이 분석되었고, 자동 착륙 유도장치로 IBLS와 MLS가 선택되어 각각의 기능과 특성들이 수학적으로 모델링 되었다. 또한 고전제어와 최적제어의 2가지 방식으로 무인항공기의 자동 착륙을 통제하기 위한 autopilot이 설계되어 그 유효성과 특징들이 분석되었다. IBLS, MLS, autopilot, 그리고 이러한 자동 착륙 유도제어 시스템이 적용되는 대상체인 무인항공기와 대기환경 및 외란에 대한 수학적 모델들은 Simulink와 ANSI C를 사용하여 단위 S/W 모듈들로 작성되었고, 여기에 GUI모듈이 추가되어 하나의 통합 시뮬레이션 S/W가 완성되었다. 모의시험평가는 총 2단계로 구성되었는데, 대기 외란이 주어졌을 때 IBLS와 MLS의 유효성을 1차적으로 검증하였고, 2단계 모의수치실험에서는 MLS 유도센서 방식에 따른 고전제어기 및 최적제어기의 항공기 종 방향 운동에 대한 강인성 비교를 시도하였다.

In this paper, a guidance law applicable to aircraft automatic landing is proposed and its performance is compared with the conventional ILS-type landing approach. The concept of miss distance, which is commonly used in the missile guidance laws, and Lyapunov stability are effectively combined to obtain the landing guidance law. The new landing guidance law is integrated into the existing controller and is applied to the landing approach and flare phases of landing procedure. Numerical simulation results show that the new landing guidance law is a viable alternative to the conventional strategies that directly control the longitudinal deviation or altitude.

Vision-based autonomous precision landing technology for UAVs requires precise position estimation and landing guidance technology. Also, for safe landing, it must be designed to determine the safety of the landing point against ground obstacles and to guide the landing only when the safety is ensured. In this paper, we proposes vision-based navigation, and algorithms for determining the safety of landing point to perform autonomous precision landings. To perform vision-based navigation, CNN technology is used to detect landing pad and the detection information is used to derive an integrated navigation solution. In addition, design and apply Kalman filters to improve position estimation performance. In order to determine the safety of the landing point, we perform the obstacle detection and position estimation in the same manner, and estimate the speed of the obstacle using LSM. The collision or not with the obstacle is determined based on the CPA calculated by using the estimated state of the obstacle. Finally, we perform flight test to verify the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a the image-based automatic flight control system for the mini drone. Automatic flight system with a camera on the ceiling and markers on the floor and landing position is designed in an indoor environment. Images from the ceiling camera is used not only to recognize the makers and landing position but also to track the drone motion. PC sever identifies the location of the drone and sends control commands to the mini drone. Flight controller of the mini drone is designed using state-machine algorithm, PID control and way-point position control method. From the, The proposed automatic flight control system is verified through the experiments of the mini drone. We see that known makers in environment are recognized and the drone can follows the trajectories with the specific ㄱ, ㄷ and ㅁ shapes. Also, experimental results show that the drone can approach and correctly land on the target positions which are set at different height.

Recently, the RPAS(Remote Piloted Aircraft System), by remote control and autonomous navigation, has been increasing in interest and utilization in various industries and public organizations along with delivery drones, fire drones, ambulances, agricultural drones, and others. The problems of the stability of unmanned drones, which can be self-controlled, are also the biggest challenge to be solved along the development of the drone industry. drones should be able to fly in the specified path the autonomous flight control system sets, and perform automatically an accurate landing at the destination. This study proposes a technique to check arrival by landing point images and control landing at the correct point, compensating for errors in location data of the drone sensors and GPS. Receiving from the Google Map API and learning from the destination video, taking images of the landing point with a drone equipped with a NAVIO2 and Raspberry Pi, camera, sending them to the server, adjusting the location of the drone in line with threshold, Drones can automatically land at the landing point.

This paper presents a spiral descending path and a landing guidance law for net-recovery of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. The net-recovery landing flight is divided into two phases. In the first phase, a spiral descending path is designed from an arbitrary initial position to a final approaching waypoint toward the recovery net. The flight path angle is controlled to be aligned to the approaching direction at the end of the spiral descent. In the second phase, the aircraft is guided from the approaching waypoint to the recovery net using a pseudo pursuit landing guidance law. Six degree-of-freedom simulation is performed to verify the performance of the proposed landing guidance law.
