Machine Learning for Pre/Post Flight UAV Rotor Defect Detection Using Vibration Analysis
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will be critical infrastructural components of future smart cities. In order to operate efficiently, UAV reliability must be ensured by constant monitoring for faults and failures. To this end, the work presented in this paper leverages signal processing and Machine Learning (ML) methods to analyze the data of a comprehensive vibrational analysis to determine the presence of rotor blade defects during pre and post-flight operation. With the help of dimensionality reduction techniques, the Random Forest algorithm exhibited the best performance and detected defective rotor blades perfectly. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of various feature subsets is presented to gain insight into the factors affecting the model's classification decision process.

Rotor-Failure-Aware Quadrotors Flight in Unknown Environments
Rotor failures in quadrotors may result in high-speed rotation and vibration due to rotor imbalance, which introduces significant challenges for autonomous flight in unknown environments. The mainstream approaches agains…
Trajectory PlanningUnlocking Stopped-Rotor Flight: Development and Validation of SPERO, a Novel UAV Platform
Stop-rotor aircraft have long been proposed as the ideal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft for missions with equal time spent in both flight regimes, such as agricultural monitoring, search and rescue, and las…
Preserving Full 6-DOF Actuation Under Abrupt Total Rotor Failures: Passive Fault-Tolerant Flight Control Using a Biaxial-Tilt Hexacopter
Conventional multirotors suffer from a rapid collapse of attainable wrench space (AWS) under abrupt total rotor failures, rendering full 6-DOF recovery physically impossible. This paper addresses passive fault-tolerant f…
cc-DRL: a Convex Combined Deep Reinforcement Learning Flight Control Design for a Morphing Quadrotor
In comparison to common quadrotors, the shape change of morphing quadrotors endows it with a more better flight performance but also results in more complex flight dynamics. Generally, it is extremely difficult or even i…
