  1. 6. Towards Enabling Exploration of Planetary Subterranean Environments using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    Författare :Akash Patel; George Nikolakopoulos; Savvas Loizou; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a novel navigation framework established to enable the exploration of planetary subterranean areas with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The key contributions of this thesis work form a robot-safe rapid navigation framework that utilizes a novel bifurcating frontier-based exploration approach. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Increasing Autonomy of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Through the Use of Imaging Sensors

    Författare :Piotr Rudol; Andrzej Szalas; Pascual Campoy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; UAV; UAS; UAV autonomy; human-body detection; color-thermal image fusion; vehicle tracking; geolocation; UAV indoor navigation;

    Sammanfattning : The range of missions performed by Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) has been steadily growing in the past decades thanks to continued development in several disciplines. The goal of increasing the autonomy of UAS's is widening the range of tasks which can be carried out without, or with minimal, external help. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Navigation and Mapping for Aerial Vehicles Based on Inertial and Imaging Sensors

    Författare :Zoran Sjanic; Fredrik Gustafsson; Thomas Schön; Fulvio Gini; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Small and medium sized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are today used in military missions, and will in the future find many new application areas such as surveillance for exploration and security. To enable all these foreseen applications, the UAV's have to be cheap and of low weight, which restrict the sensors that can be used for navigation and surveillance. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Vision-based Localization and Attitude Estimation Methods in Natural Environments

    Författare :Bertil Grelsson; Michael Felsberg; Per-Erik Forssén; Joni Kämäräinen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, the usage of unmanned systems such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) has increased drastically, and there is still a rapid growth. Today, unmanned systems are being deployed in many daily operations, e.g. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Improving Manipulation and Control of Search and Rescue UGVs Operating Across Autonomy Levels

    Författare :Fredrik Båberg; Petter Ögren; Paolo Robuffo Giordano; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Robots are often used for “dirty, dull and dangerous” jobs, where time, money or lives can be saved. A field with dangerous situations is search and rescue, with structural collapses and toxic environment. In those situations, robots have the potential to save lives. LÄS MER
