2021 journal article

Influence of the Ground, Ceiling, and Sidewall on Micro-Quadrotors

AIAA Journal, 59(4), 1398–1405.

By: D. Carter*, L. Bouchard* & D. Quinn*

Contributors: D. Carter*

TL;DR: The growth of the micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) industry is outpacing the authors' understanding of how MAVs behave in cluttered environments, and search and rescue and product delivery (two key MAV applications) are being targeted. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 conference paper

Exploiting Ground and Ceiling Effects on Autonomous UAV Motion Planning

2019 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS).

By: S. Gao*, C. Franco*, D. Carter*, D. Quinn* & N. Bezzo*

Contributors: D. Carter*

TL;DR: This study indicates that i) it can detect surfaces during operations without the need of extra onboard sensors and ii) the authors can minimize energy consumption up to 15% when the system can fly near ground or ceiling surfaces. (via Semantic Scholar)
