Optimized Multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Coverage Path Planning for Efficient Solar Panel Cleaning: A Rectilinear and Vehicle Routing Problem-Based Approach
Ghaziani, Matin; Yaman, Ulaş; Turgut, Ali Emre (2026-07-01)
This study proposes a novel methodology for efficient multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) coverage path planning (CPP) tailored to solar panel cleaning applications. The approach incorporates rectilinear path planning and ...
Towards developing an add-on module to estimate attacker position for unmanned aerial vehicles
Bakırcıoğlu, Veli; Şenyayla, Ozan; ARIKAN, KUTLUK BİLGE; Turgut, Ali Emre; Şahin, Erol (2026-06-01)
Mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs), which are often used as “eyes-in-the-sky” in defense applications are often vulnerable to sniper attacks coming from the ground. In this study, we propose an add-on defense ...
Simulation and Control of an Unmanned Lunar Rover at the Moon’s South Pole: Leveraging Challenging Illumination Conditions for Enhanced Exploration
Durmaz, Atakan; Güloğlu, Görkem Eğemen; Turgut, Ali Emre; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Söken, Halil Ersin; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Üstündaş, Şahin Umutcan; Özduygu, Mete Oğulcan (2025-09-29)
This study explores the motion planning and control of a lunar rover designed for exploration at the Moon's south pole. The mission aims to explore permanently shadowed regions believed to contain water ice deposits, ident...
From Walking to Running: A Comprehensive Clock Torque Actuated SLIP Framework for Trotting in Quadrupedal Locomotion
Akbaba, Mustafa; Saranlı, Uluç; Turgut, Ali Emre; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (2025-08-29)
This paper presents a template-based control method for achieving diverse trotting motions in quadrupedal systems, with a focus on smooth transitions between walking trot, regular trot, and flying (running) trot. First, we...
Morphing Swarm Coordination for Autonomous Queen Tracking in Complex Hive Environments
Bahaidarah, Mazen; Zahmatkesh, Mohsen; Wang, Hang; Marjanovic, Ognjen; Rekabi-Bana, Fatemeh; Turgut, Ali Emre; Arvin, Farshad (2025-01-01)
Interacting with social insects within their natural environments requires robotic systems that are adaptive, precise, and minimally disruptive. Based on the queen tracking framework and swarm coordination algorithm develo...
Towards an Embodied Biohybrid Robotic Platform for Interaction with Honeybees
Wang, Hang; Zahmatkesh, Mohsen; Stefanec, Martin; Turgut, Ali Emre; Ulrich, Jiri; Krajnik, Tomas; Arvin, Farshad (2025-01-01)
Robotic interaction with insects in a controlled yet unobtrusive manner is essential for advancing research in biology and biohybrid systems. Micro-robots offer a unique opportunity for such interaction due to their small ...
Predictive search model of flocking for quadcopter swarm in the presence of static and dynamic obstacles
Önür, Giray; Turgut, Ali Emre; Şahin, Erol (2024-01-01)
One of the main challenges in swarm robotics is to achieve robust and scalable flocking, such that large numbers of robots can move together in a coordinated and cohesive manner while avoiding obstacles or threats. Flockin...
