Cooperative Hunting of UAVs

This research project addresses the cooperative hunting problem, where the objective is to coordinate a group of agents to surround a static or moving target. Cooperative hunting is seen in nature by pack hunters such as wolves and chimpanzees, with Continue Reading …

A Novel Tilt-Rotor VTOL UAV Development

Aquatic environments globally face human-caused threats including pollution, invasive species, over-harvesting, diversion, drainage, and climate change. A scientific initiative lead by the Queen’s University (QU) Biology Department is proposed to develop an environmental DNA (eDNA)  platform for high-quality and real-time Continue Reading …
