To maximize the advantages of being low-cost, highly mobile, and having a high flexibility, aerial recovery technology is important for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. In particular, the operation mode of “launch-recovery-relaunch” will greatly improve the efficiency of a UAV swarm. However, it is difficult to realize large-scale aerial recovery of UAV swarms because this process involves complex multi-UAV recovery scheduling, path planning, rendezvous, and acquisition problems. In this study, the recovery problem of a UAV swarm by a mother aircraft has been investigated. To solve the problem, a recovery planning framework is proposed to establish the coupling mechanism between the scheduling and path planning of a multi-UAV aerial recovery. A genetic algorithm is employed to realize efficient and precise scheduling. A homotopic path planning approach is proposed to cover the paths with an expected length for long-range aerial recovery missions. Simulations in representative scenarios validate the effectiveness of the recovery planning framework and the proposed methods. It can be concluded that the recovery planning framework can achieve a high performance in dealing with the aerial recovery problem.

This study implements the auto start control system on an electric motor 3 phase C4Feeding pump when the discharge pressure is low-low (4.3 kg /cm²). The C4 feeding pumpmotor was initially manually operated from the local control station, this was very ineffectiveand inefficient because it still relied on the field operator to operate the pump motor and whenthe plant was in normal operating it is very risk if the field operator late to operate motor then itwill impact to quality of the product, and if the delay time to operate motor is too long then planthave to shut down, therefore improvement is needed in the C4 feeding pump motor controlsystem. In this paper, various types of 3-phase motor control are explained which allow it to beapplied to the C4 feeding pump motor that are on-off, inverter, and variable speed drive andefficient selection of the three systems control of the motor. Software and hardware used in thisthesis work are DCS CENTUM VP Yokogawa.
