The unique rotor layout required the development of a trajectory generator algorithm for precise control of the drone that is computationally efficient. The algorithm the team created is able to ...

Let's assume a motor with three Hall sensors, but what follows can be applied to whatever number of Hall sensors. The Pittman motor is equipped with three Hall sensors at 120-degrees spacing and with ...

Stability of unmanned aerial vehicles in heavy winds can be improved through rotor placement and angle. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? The prevalence of multi-rotor drones has increased dramatically in ...

Thanks to the wars in the Middle East, drones like the Predator have become household names. They’re getting more powerful and more lethal every day, and these combat drones have begun overshadowing ...

For countless industrial products that have evolved over time, smaller, better, and less expensive is the name of the game. After designing and manufacturing For countless industrial products that ...

Automotive brakes have advanced leaps and bounds over the past century, but the physics behind how they work remains the same: brakes slow a car down by converting a tire's rotational energy into ...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? The prevalence of multi-rotor drones has increased dramatically in recent years, but in headwinds they pitch upwards unpredictably. Engineers from Tohoku University, Japan ...
