Padua is one of the oldest cities in Italy. In ancient times, Padova achieved a victory over the Spartans before it was conquered by the Romans and received the town charter. In the Middle Ages, Padua was an independent city state, like many of its neighbouring cities, but was ruled by a Podesta of the emperor. 

In 1405 the city finally fell to Venice, in 1797 to Napoleon, and finally to Austria. With one of the oldest universities in the world officially founded on 1222, Padua was always an intellectual and artistic centre, wich brought many art treasures to the city and made it a hotbed of revolutionary ideas.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZER

Bartosz Brzozowski has a M.S. degree in Mechatronics, with specialization in Aviation-Avionics. In 2016 he graduated from a PhD Studies in the field of Mechanics, and he currently finishes his thesis about optimal control algorithms for multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). He has been working at the Faculty of Mechatronics and Aerospace of the Military University of Technology since 2009. He took part in four nationally founded research projects and received four institutional grants for Young Scientists. Those grants were a financial support to cultivate his main area of interest:  navigation and control of UAVs. Currently he take part in two projects financed from EU founds about UAVs. For his work he received a scholarship form province major during his PhD studies and an Award for the Best Paper presented by a Young Researcher at the 1st IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Aerospace.

 

ABSTRACT

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs) or commonly used drones all describe one and the same thing: an aircraft or aircraft-system that is controlled from a remote without a pilot onboard. Nonmatter how you call them, they are becoming the most popular and growing sector in aviation. Governments introduce laws for UAVs to secure safety for all airspace users. At the same time scientists, researchers and developers all over the World work on new measurement sensors, actuators, navigation and control systems to support reliability, simplify control and include maximum autonomy for all flights. This special section focuses on their work to present modern metrology and instrumentation developed for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

 

TOPICS

That is why suitable topics for this Special Session include but are not limited to:

  • Measurement sensors for UAVs.
  • Instrumentation for UAVs.
  • Measurement data exchange between UAVs and Ground Station.
  • Ground station measurement data analysis for UAVs.
  • Measurement data in autonomous flights algorithms.
  • Simulation environments and testing of UAV instrumentation.
