2015

In this year, we made effort to keep developing the fast control method of construction crane and the applications of the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). We believed that these could definitely improve the quality of construction nowadays, including convenience, safety and efficiency. By taking advantages of these mechanics, we had developed several methods to apply to several regions like surveying or crane control. We hope these methods could be used in somedays.

A Sway Reduction Controller for Construction Crane

In this paper, we design and produce a scaled tower crane with a servo control mechanism which can be used to control crane rotation precisely. Also, we do experiments with our scaled tower crane to validate the proposed fast control method. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of maintaining fixed angle during the movement and reducing oscillation.

在這篇論文中，我們設計並製造出一輛擁有自動偵錯控制系統的模擬吊車，並且能精準地控制吊車的旋轉。此外，我們利用模擬吊車完成許多實驗來驗證快速控制的方法，且實驗結果顯示此方法在移動中維持固定擺角及減小震盪的成果。

An Optimized UAS for Bridge Inspection

In order to develop a low-cost and more flexible approach, this paper offers an optimized UAS to acquire images of a bridge from underneath, and serve to provide a visual aid for bridge inspectors. An on-board camera gimbal mechanism is developed for acquiring stable image data and remote control.
Furthermore, we designed a workflow for using this system based on our field test.

為了開發一個低成本且更彈性的方法，這篇論文運用優化的無人飛行載具從下方取得橋樑的影像，並提供橋樑檢測員視角上的幫助。透過搭載在無人飛行載具上的照相機雲台機構，我們能遠端操控鏡頭且穩定獲取影像資料。除此之外，我們也根據實地測試為系統設計出一套工作流程。

The data collection of the statistically orographic model of the alluvial fan

The research tried to use UAV in the building of the statistically orographic model of the alluvial fan. By the advantages of the low-cost and high availability of UAV, we expect to improve the possibility of the research of the alluvial fan. Besides, in order to increase the efficiency of the collection of DTM data, the research also built a standard operation procedure aiming to the data collection of the alluvial fan, and we applied it for the alluvial Fan of Lao-Nong River in Kaohsiung.

本研究嘗試導入 UAV 於沖積扇的數值地形模型建置，希望能藉 UAV 的低成本以及高可及性來提升沖積扇研究的可能性。此外，為提升 DTM 資料蒐集的效率，本研究亦針對沖積扇資料蒐集 UAV 系統擬定一套標準的作業流程，並以高雄荖濃溪的布堂布納斯沖積扇實地測試。
