A novel concept of morphing airfoils, capable of changing camber and thickness, is proposed. A variable airfoil shape, defined by six input parameters, is achieved by allowing the three spinal points (at fixed axial positions) to slide vertically, while ...

In this article, we propose a new RIS passive beamforming scheme in two main stages. First, a fingerprint-based codebook (FP-CB) design phase occurs, where the area of interest is divided into a number of points and the optimal reflection patterns (RPs) ...

Due to the complicated and changing circumstances of the sea environment, path planning technology is essential for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to fulfill search tasks. In most cases, the location of the underwater target is unknown, so it is necess...
