Research

Our research interests include control and optimization for autonomous operations of unmanned assets, particularly UAV, including; 

• Energy efficient path planning using system control and optimization methods 

• SOC, SOH, and SOP state estimation algorithm development of small Li-Ion battery pack system for miniature UAV 

• Configurable model based SW platform development for miniature UAV

Current Research 1

Real-Time Web Map Service Based on a Solar Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

• Using the solar-powered, long-endurance, and hoverable UAV, daytime map images are continuously and repeatedly uploaded to the web map server

• Uploaded map images are overlapped with the existing ground surface map images in real-time

Current Research 2

Developing the Marine Environment Monitoring Unmanned Aerial System for the Reduction of Fish Farm Damage

• Marine environment observation UAV is being developed to instantly capture various marine phenomena occurring on the coast by carrying two sets of multi-Spectral imaging cameras

• The remote reflectance of seawater is the most basic optical property to estimate color components in seawater and we could remotely estimate the chlorophyll concentration, and etc.
