Abstract:
The use of tethered Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in aerial robotic applications is a relatively unexplored research field. This work addresses the attitude and position estimation of a small-size unmanned helicopter tethered to a moving platform using a multi-sensor data fusion algorithm based on a numerically efficient sigma-point Kalman filter implementation. For that purpose, the state prediction is performed using a kinematic process model driven by measurements of the inertial sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) onboard the helicopter and the subsequent correction is done using information from additional sensors like magnetometer, barometric altimeter, LIDAR altimeter and magnetic encoders measuring the tether orientation relative to the helicopter. Assuming the tether is kept taut by an actuated device on the platform during the system operation, the helicopter position is estimated relative to the anchor point. Although this configuration avoids the need of a GPS, a standard operation mode for estimation of the absolute position (the position relative to the inertial reference frame) incorporating corrections with the GPS position and velocity measurements, is also implemented in order to highlight the benefits of the proposed tethered setup. The filter performance is evaluated in simulations.

Abstract:
Black mangroves Avicennia germinans are becoming increasingly common in coastal wetlands in the Gulf of Mexico (USA). As mangroves displace salt marsh vegetation, there may be consequences for associated wetland fauna. In a series of field studies, we compared prey refuge values between marsh and mangrove vegetation for a vertically migrating gastropod, the marsh periwinkle Littoraria irrorata. Littoraria were tethered to marsh grasses (Spartina alterniflora) or the aerial roots (pneumatophores) of Avicennia in arrays that fully crossed vegetation type (Spartina vs. Avicennia), tether height (base vs. canopy), and wetland location (edge vs. interior marsh platform). After 1 d, acute predation rates were twice as high on Littoraria tethered to the base of Spartina stems than on those tethered to pneumatophores, suggesting that mangroves provided superior refuge from benthic predators like blue crabs. In the canopy, Spartina reduced acute predation rates by 75%, indicating that marsh grasses may provide superior refuge from aerial predators (possibly wetland birds). After 7 d, the effect of vegetation type diminished, but Littoraria mortality was 2 times higher on the benthos than in the canopy. Links between vegetation type and predation intensity on this important basal consumer may have broader consequences for trophic dynamics in coastal wetlands that are experiencing mangrove encroachment.

Abstract:
An aerostat is a tethered balloon with an aerodynamically shaped envelope containing a lighter-than-air gas that generates bulk of the lifting force. Aerostats are used extensively as an aerial platform for many scientific and commercial applications. Conventional aerostats envelopes have an ellipsoidal shape, due to which they suffer from a large amount of horizontal displacement (called blowby) due to the ambient winds. If the drag force acting on aerostat is high, the resulting blowbyis higher and a longer tether is required to maintain the specified operating altitude; this results in lower payload capacity. Recent studies have shown that winged aerostats (which have an envelope with airfoil cross-section) can reduce blowbydue to a much higher lift/drag ratio. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the operational effectiveness of a winged and conventional aerostat for scientific data gathering in lower Himalayas at various ambient wind speeds. The winged aerostat is seen to be much smaller in size, and has a much lower reduction in operating altitude due to blowby. The paper also describes the design of a prototype winged aerostat currently under development.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> As a platform with the advantages of safety, wide altitude range and long flight time, tethered balloon has been used in archaeology, coastal, island mapping and other related fields. Tethered balloon is tied to the mooring system by tether rope, and often moves in a small range with the airflow, resulting in a very close distance between the camera stations. Due to the small base-to-height ratio, failure of relative orientation or poor quality of point cloud tend to appear frequently. In this paper, a mapping system for tethered balloon is introduced which consists of a wide-angle camera, two auxiliary orientation cameras, and a dual GNSS/IMU system. The wide-angle camera combined by five cameras provides a larger observation range. Two auxiliary orientation cameras installed at the end of extension rods are designed to increase the baseline. The system should be operated during the taking-off, hovering and landing stages of the tethered balloon, so as to take images of different altitudes. The system has been adopted in the first experimental flight in 2018 to perform island topographic survey. Data processing method was applied to test the effect of the system. The method that choosing wide-angle images of different heights, and auxiliary images at low-altitude can be used for aerial triangulation successfully, and obtain point cloud with good quality. The results showed that by adding auxiliary cameras and taking images of different heights for data processing, the problem of small intersection angle could be overcome to some extent.</p>

Abstract:
The review article discusses the possibility of using tethered high-altitude telecommunication platforms (VTPS) based on unmanned aerial vehicles (as tethered UAVs), which are also called – "tethered drones" Flying COWs (Cell on Wings). Their essence lies in the fact that sufficiently high electrical voltage is applied to a flexible metal cable from a ground-based mobile control point in order to solve the multidisciplinary VTP tasks for the local cellular coverage on a vast territory. These unmanned aerial systems with VTP and tethered UAVs, which retransmit signals in relation to a specific area as a part of the objects of modern geo information systems (GIS) covering particular regions, territories and hard-to-reach areas with a radio signal can find its fairly wide application in the near future, besides radio or optical communication of VTP can be used as a network of telecommunication channels for receiving/transmitting information.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present mapKITE, a new mobile, simultaneous terrestrial and aerial, geodata collection and post-processing method. On one side, the method combines a terrestrial mobile mapping system (TMMS) with an unmanned aerial mapping one, both equipped with remote sensing payloads (at least, a nadir-looking visible-band camera in the UA) by means of which aerial and terrestrial geodata are acquired simultaneously. This tandem geodata acquisition system is based on a terrestrial vehicle (TV) and on an unmanned aircraft (UA) linked by a 'virtual tether', that is, a mechanism based on the real-time supply of UA waypoints by the TV. By means of the TV-to-UA tether, the UA follows the TV keeping a specific relative TV-to-UA spatial configuration enabling the simultaneous operation of both systems to obtain highly redundant and complementary geodata. <br><br> On the other side, mapKITE presents a novel concept for geodata post-processing favoured by the rich geometrical aspects derived from the mapKITE tandem simultaneous operation. The approach followed for sensor orientation and calibration of the aerial images captured by the UA inherits the principles of Integrated Sensor Orientation (ISO) and adds the pointing-and-scaling photogrammetric measurement of a distinctive element observed in every UA image, which is a coded target mounted on the roof of the TV. By means of the TV navigation system, the orientation of the TV coded target is performed and used in the post-processing UA image orientation approach as a Kinematic Ground Control Point (KGCP). The geometric strength of a mapKITE ISO network is therefore high as it counts with the traditional tie point image measurements, static ground control points, kinematic aerial control and the new point-and-scale measurements of the KGCPs. With such a geometry, reliable system and sensor orientation and calibration and eventual further reduction of the number of traditional ground control points is feasible. <br><br> The different technical concepts, challenges and breakthroughs behind mapKITE are presented in this paper, such as the TV-to-UA virtual tether and the use of KGCP measurements for UA sensor orientation. In addition, the use in mapKITE of new European GNSS signals such as the Galileo E5 AltBOC is discussed. Because of the critical role of GNSS technologies and the potential impact on the corridor mapping market, the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency, in the frame of the European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon 2020,” have recently awarded the “mapKITE” project to an international consortium of organizations coordinated by GeoNumerics S.L.

Abstract:
Many potentially useful applications that broadly fall under the umbrella of payload transportation operations have been proposed for aerial towed-cable (ATC) systems, namely the precise capture and delivery of payloads. There remain outstanding issues concerning the dynamics and control of ATC systems that are inhibiting the near-term demonstration of these applications. The development of simplified representations of ATC systems that retain the important dynamics, yet are simple enough for use in control system development is limited. Likewise, little research exists into the development of controllers for ATC systems, especially the development of towing strategies and cable-based control techniques for rendezvous and payload transportation. Thus, this thesis presents novel research into the development of control strategies and simulation facilities that redress these two major anomalies, thereby overcoming a number of hitherto unresolved issues. The primary objective of this thesis is to develop innovative non-linear optimal control systems to manoeuvre a cable towed beneath an aircraft to transport payloads both to and from surface locations. To appropriately satisfy this objective, accurate and efficient modelling capabilities are proposed, yielding the equations of motion for numerous models of the ATC system. A series of techniques for improving the representativeness of simple dynamical models were developed. The benefits of using these procedures were shown to be significant and possible without undue complexity or computational expense. Use of such techniques result in accurate simulations and allow representative control systems to be designed. A series of single and multi-phase non-linear optimal control problems for ATC systems are then formally proposed, which were converted into non-linear programming problems using direct transcription for expedient solution. The possibility of achieving accurate, numerous instantaneous rendezvous of the cable tip with desired surface locations on the ground, in two and three-dimensions, is successfully demonstrated. This was achieved through the use of deployment and retrieval control of the cable and/or aircraft manoeuvring. The capability of the system to safely and accurately transport payloads to and from the surface via control of the cable and/or aircraft manoeuvring is also established. A series of parametric studies were conducted to establish the impact that various parameters have on the ability of the system to perform various rendezvous and payload transportation operations. This allowed important insights into to the nature of the system to be examined. In order for the system to perform rendezvous and payload transportation operations in the presence of wind gusts, a number of simple closed loop optimal feedback controllers were developed. These feedback controllers are based on the linear quadratic regulator control methodology. A preliminary indication of the robustness of ATC systems to wind gusts is provided for through a succession of parametric investigations. The performance of the closed-loop system demonstrates that precise and robust control of the ATC system can be achieved for a wide variety of operating conditions. The research presented in this thesis will provide a solid foundation for further advancing the development of aerial tether payload transportation technology.

Abstract:
Cette thèse se concentre sur les robots aériens autonomes qui interagissent avec l’environnement et en particulier sur la conception de nouvelles méthodes de commande et de planification de mouvement pour tels systèmes. De nos jours, les véhicules aériens autonomes sont de plus en plus utilisés dans des nombreux domaines d’application, mais ils viennent utilisés surtout comme des simples capteurs. Au vu de ça, les défis majeurs dans le domaine de l’interaction physique aérienne, est aujourd’hui d’aller au-delà de cette application limitée, et d’exploiter entièrement les capacités des robots aériens afin d’interagir avec l’environnement. Dans le but de réaliser cet objectif, cette thèse considère l’analyse d’une classe spécifique de systèmes aériens interagissant avec l’environnement : les véhicules aériens attachés avec des câbles ou des bars. Ce travail se concentre sur l’analyse formelle et minutieuse de véhicules aériens attachés, en allant du contrôle et l’évaluation d’état à la planification du mouvement. Nous avons examiné notamment la platitude différentielle du système, trouvant deux sorties plate possibles qui révèlent des nouvelles capacités de tel système pour l’interaction physiques. En plus, poussé par l’intérêt pour l’interaction physique aérienne d’A à Z, nous avons abordés des problèmes supplémentaires liés à la conception, au contrôle et à la planification du mouvement pour des manipulateurs aériens
This thesis focuses on the study of autonomous aerial robots interacting with the surrounding environment, and in particular on the design of new control and motion planning methods for such systems. Nowadays, autonomous aerial vehicles are extensively employed in many fields of application but mostly as autonomously moving sensors. On the other hand, in the recent field of aerial physical interaction, the goal is to go beyond sensing-only applications and fully exploit the aerial robots capabilities in order to interact with the environment. With the aim of achieving this goal, this thesis considers the analysis of a particular class of aerial robots interacting with the environment: tethered aerial vehicles. This work focuses on the thorough formal analysis of tethered aerial vehicles ranging from control and state estimation to motion planning. In particular, the differential flatness property of the system is investigated, finding two possible flat outputs that reveal new capabilities of such system for the physical interaction. The theoretical results were finally employed to solve the challenging problem of landing and takeoff on/from a sloped surface. In addition, moved by the interest on aerial physical interaction from A to Z, we addressed supplementary problems related to the design, control and motion planning for aerial manipulators

Abstract:
At dusk close to 100,000 people clad in black and white face paint and hand-made costumes emerge from all directions marching along a two-mile procession route from Hotel Congress in Tucson, Arizona to the finale site carrying puppets, banners, effigies, floats and posters with photographs of the dead of all shapes and sizes. Crowds of people line the streets; however unlike the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade and other official processions, there are no street barriers separating those marching in the procession and those observing; the lines are porous and blurred. Participants move fluidly in and out of the procession between spectating and marching: dancing, drumming and walking. There is no clear distinction between sidewalk and street; between official performers and spectators—everyone is a participant. There is a somber sense of excitement and anticipation. A large-scale sculptural urn assisted by guardians from the performance troupe Flam Chen weaves through the dense crowd collecting hand-written prayers and offerings from passersby. Day of the Dead motifs of black and white skeletons, flowers, and masks dominate the visual landscape mixed with a fusion of hybrid imagery that evokes death, memory and celebration. Suspended weightlessly above a crowd of fire-lit faces, a figure moves gracefully without a safety net, wrapping her body in aerial silks tethered to helium balloon clusters. Stilted figures in ornate hand-constructed costumes twirl fire to the thundering beating drum. Costumed figures scale the metal tower with torches to light the large paper mache urn, which is filled with the prayers of the entire community. Flames lick up the sides of the urn transforming it into a ball of raging fire; the crowd cheers as they watch their prayers ascend into the darkness. This ritual burning of the urn signifies the culminating act of the Tucson All Souls’ Procession. Flam Chen, pyrotechnic performance troupe from Tucson and Many Mouths One Stomach, the organizers of the event, stage a fire aerial performance followed by the symbolic burning of the urn filled with the community’s prayers and wishes.
