Vector field formation control: Fixed-wing formation control based on time-varying vector field

The mission control of a fixed-wings UAV is slightly more complex compared to other models like quad-rotors or unicycles since the dynamic of a fixed-wing aircraft does not allow rapid direction changes or stop-rotate-go type of movements. Those restriction needs to be taken into consideration when building a mission control system, moreover,...

The development of blockchain, along with the creation of Bitcoin, opened the road to the first digital currency that is secure against double-spending without the need for a trusted authority or centralized server. The architecture of traditional blockchain structures like the one used in Bitcoin is, however, not very scalable because of its...
