This paper reports on an ongoing study investigating the feasibility of using an evolutionary method to develop the rules governing Self-Organised (SO) systems for use in swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles. In general, it is difficult to design swarm systems that follow explicit global behaviour. Unlike optimising a predefined objective function, the solution to the problem is the emergent behaviour in the SO systems which results from simultaneous interactions among agents and between agents and their environment. In this study, evolutionary algorithms are used to investigate their control and effectiveness in synthesising the weighting of different rules on SO emergent behaviour. Both homogeneous swarms and heterogeneous swarms were considered though the results provided are for a case study investigating the simplest problem a homogeneous swarm without mutation. Though simple this study does indicate the potential of the approach.

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks have received a great deal of attention in both academia and industry to provide anytime-anywhere networking services. As wireless networks are rapidly deployed, the security of wireless environment will be mandatory. In this paper, we describe a group key management architecture and key agreement protocols for secure communication in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks (MANETs) overseen by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We use implicitly certified public keys method, which alleviates the certificate overhead and improves computational efficiency. The architecture uses a two-layered key management approach where the group of nodes is divided into: 1) Cell groups consisting of ground nodes and 2) control groups consisting of cell group managers. The chief benefit of this approach is that the effects of a membership change are restricted to the single cell group.

An application of adaptive flight controller is required for the non-linear and high uncertain system that configuration of tiltrotor aircraft is dramatically changed from rotary wing mode to fixed wing mode. In this paper, the applicable adaptive controller for the tiltrotor aircraft was designed using Neural Networks and DMI (Dynamic Model Inversion). The performance of the SCAS (Stability and Control Augmentation System) was simulated against manned military specification, using the fullscale model of 'Smart UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)' developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. And Neural Networks based adaptive controller was verified through its whole operating envelope using the established HQ (Handling Quality) criteria.

최근 무인항공기 (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV)에 장착한 카메라를 활용하여 사용자의 눈높이가 아닌 새로운 시각에서 사용자를 촬영한 영상을 제공한다. 사용자를 추적하며 촬영하기 위해 저전력 블루투스 (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE) 신호, 영상, 그리고 Natural User Interface/Natual User Experience(NUI/NUX) 기술을 활용한다. BLE 신호로 사용자를 추적하는 경우 사용자의 후방에서 추적하며 사용자만을 추적하며 촬영 가능한 문제가 있다. 하지만 복수의 사용자를 전방에서 추적하며 촬영하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복수의 사용자를 추적하며 전방에서 촬영하기 위해 UAV의 비행방향을 결정하는 방법을 설명한다. 복수의 사용자로부터 측정 가능한 BLE 신호들을 UAV에서 측정한다. 복수개의 BLE 신호의 변화를 활용하여 UAV의 비행방향을 결정한다.

최근에는 지진의 발생 빈도가 높아지고 발생되는 재난의 규모가 점차 증가되고 있다. 무인항공기(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV)은 이동 속도가 빠르고 장착된 카메라로 감시가 가능하기 때문에 넓은 지역의 재난 상황을 모니터링하거나 발생 여부를 감시하기에 적합하다. UAV의 기능이 점차 증가되면서 이를 조종하기 위한 방법도 복합해지고 있기 때문에 전통적인 조종기 기반의 조종 방법이 아닌 새로운 형태의 사용자 인터페이스가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 소방방재용 UAV를 제어하기 위한 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 직관적인 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하기 위해서 체감형 인터페이스를 적용한다.

Epipolar images have to be generated to stereo display aerial images or satellite images. Pushbroom sensor is used to acquire high resolution satellite images. These satellite images have curvilinear epipolar lines unlike the epipolar lines of frame images, which are straight lines. The aforementioned fact makes it difficult to generate epipolar images for pushbroom satellite images. If we assume a linear transition of the sensor having constant speed and attitude during image acquisition, we can generate epipolar images based on parallel projection model (20 Affine model). Recent high resolution images are provided with RPC values so that we can exploit these values to generate epipolar images without using ground control points and tie point. This paper provides a procedure based on the parallel projection model for generating epipolar images directly from a stereo IKONOS images, and experimental results.

In recent years, interest in drones has grown, and many countries are developing them into a strategic industry of the future. Drones are not only used in industries such as logistics and agriculture but also in various public sectors such as life rescue, disaster investigation, traffic control, and firefighting. One of the most important tasks of a drone is to accurately identify targets in these applications. Target recognition may vary depending on the search environment of the drone. Therefore, this study tests and analyzes the drone's target recognition performance according to changes in the search environment such as the search altitude and the search angle. In addition, we propose a new algorithm that improves upon the disadvantages of the Haar cascade method, which is the existing algorithm that recognizes the target by analyzing a captured image.

In this paper, we have studied the design and fabrication of small drones using open source. In the case of drones, various functions and differentiated materials are required depending on the application, and the future development of the unmanned mobile object, namely the drone, in which the creativity and the technology are combined with each other continues to be enhanced by the improvement of autonomy and artificial intelligence. Software-based architecture-based technologies have been developed in collaboration with embedded SWs that combine sensors, motors, and control systems. In hardware, it is customary to use a combination of materials and design to increase the freedom of design. It will be made in a free structure.

The increasing popularity of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be attributed to their wide range of applications. 3D path planning is one of the crucial components enabling autonomous flight. In this paper, we present a novel 3D path planning algorithm that generates and utilizes curvature-based trajectories. Our approach leverages circular properties, offering notable advantages. First, circular trajectories make collision detection easier. Second, the planning procedure is streamlined by eliminating the need for the spline process to generate dynamically feasible trajectories. To validate our proposed algorithm, we conducted simulations in Gazebo Simulator. Within the simulation, we placed various obstacles such as pillars, nets, trees, and walls. The results demonstrate the efficacy and potential of our proposed algorithm in facilitating efficient and reliable 3D path planning for UAVs.

Bacterial isolates TRL2-3 and TRK2-2 showing anti-fungal activity in vitro test against some plant pathogens were identified as Pseudomonas putida and Micrococcus luteus, respectively. Pre-treatment with both bacterial isolates at the concentration 1.0$\times$ $10^7$ and $10^6$cfu/ml in the rhizosphere could trigger induced systemic resistance in the aerial part of cucumber plants against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare. However, the pre-treatment with the higher concentration at 1.0 $\times$ $10^8$ cfu/ml of both isolates could not induce resistance after challenge inoculation with C. orbiculare. As a positive control, the treatment with DL-3 amino butyric acid caused a remarkable reduction of disease severity whereas the lesions on the leaves of untreated plants developed apparently after the fungal inoculation. From these results, it was recomended that disease control using both bacterial isolates inducing systemic resistance in the field where chemical application is forbid.
