3. 2. One Image, Many Insights: A Synergistic Approach Towards Enabling Autonomous Visual Inspection

   Författare :Vignesh Kottayam Viswanathan; George Nikolakopoulos; Dimitrios Kanoulas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Unified autonomy; aerial robotics; space robotics; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

   Sammanfattning : Visual inspection in autonomous robotics is a task in which autonomous agents are required to gather visual information of objects of interest, in a manner that ensures safety, efficiency and comprehensive coverage. It is, therefore, crucial for identifying key landmarks, detecting cracks or defects, or reconstructing the observed object for detailed analysis. LÄS MER

4. 3. On Visual Area Coverage Using Micro Aerial Vehicles

   Författare :Sina Sharif Mansouri; George Nikolakopoulos; Thomas Gustafsson; Andreas Johansson; Pantelis Sopasakis; Jana Tumova; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this Licentiate is to advance the field of cooperative visual coverage path planners for multiple Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), while aiming for their real life adoption towards the tasks of aerial infrastructure inspection. The fields that will be addressed are focusing in: a) the collaborative perception of the environment, b) the collaborative visual inspection, and c) the optimization of the aerial missions based on the remaining flying battery, camera constraints, coverage constraints and other real life mission induced constraints.

5. 4. On Visual Perception for an Aerial Robotic Worker

   Författare :Christoforos Kanellakis; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Micro Aerial Vehicles and especially multi rotors are gaining more and more attention for accomplishing complex tasks, considering their simple mechanical design and their versatile movement. MAVs are ideal candidates to perform tasks autonomously, to work safely in close proximity and in collaboration with humans, and to operate safely and effectively in natural human environments, like infrastructure inspection-maintenance, underground mine operations and surveillance missions.
