This is my undergraduate final year research project topic, where my partner and I designed a novel screwdriving actuator system to attach to a fully-actuated octorotor UAV, and investigated the dynamics of this new UAV configuration. More details on our project can be seen under the project called ‘Fully-Actuated Screwdriving Unmanned Aerial Vehicle<\/em>‘ on the DTRG research group website here<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To share our results with a wider audience, we wrote a conference paper documenting our design and findings called ‘Actuator Modelling for a Fully-Actuated Screwdriving UAV<\/em>‘, for the 2024 Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation (ACRA 2024, link to conference here<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/em> and proceedings here<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/em>), which I presented in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also wrote and published another conference paper on further analyses into case studies involving this unique UAV configuration called ‘Performance Analysis of a Fully-Actuated
Screwdriving UAV<\/em>‘, for the 2025 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS 2025, link to conference here<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/a> and proceedings coming soon<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
