Vaswani, V. (author), Loh, S. (author), Tan, B. (author), Singh, K. (author), Srigrarom, S. (author)Historically, helicopters with four rotors (quad-rotors) have been very uncommon, mainly due to the fact that most of the common payloads could be lifted using one or two rotors. However, the quad-rotor possesses some special characteristics that make it attractive. One would be the superior payload capacity. Two, is the simplicity of the...conference paper 2014

Li, K. (author), Huang, R. (author), Phang, S.K. (author), Lai, S. (author), Wang, F. (author), Tan, P. (author), Chen, B.M. (author), Lee, T.H. (author)In this paper, we propose an approach to autonomously control a quadrotor micro aerial vehicle (MAV). With take-off weight of 50 g and 8-min flight endurance, the MAV platform codenamed KayLion developed by the National University of Singapore (NUS) is able to perform autonomous flight with pre-planned path tracking. The vision-based...conference paper 2014

Veenstra, A.W. (author), Hulstijn, J. (author), Christiaanse, R. (author), Tan, Y.-H. (author)An integrated data pipeline has been proposed to meet requirements for supply chain visibility and control. How can data integration be used for risk assessment, monitoring and control in global supply chains? We argue that concepts from model-based auditing can be used to model the ideal flow of money and goods, and by identifying...conference paper 2013

Chen, Z. (author), Xu, Z. (author), Wang, G. (author), Li, H. (author), Chen, B. (author), Zeng, X.C. (author), Tan, L. (author)Crystalline solids are solid materials whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in a highly regulated fashion. Due to lack of rotational freedom in their stacking, they have been known as fragile materials. Even though some efforts have been dedicated to bind or mend defects/cracks in amorphous materials like concrete or polymers...conference paper 2013
