2. 1. Selected Aspects of Navigation and Path Planning in Unmanned Aircraft Systems

   Author : Mariusz Wzorek; Andrzej Szałas; Jacek Malec; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Path planning; motion planning; autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Systems UAS ; Hierarchical Concurrent State Machines HCSM ; UAV;

   Abstract : Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) are an important future technology with early generations already being used in many areas of application encompassing both military and civilian domains. This thesis proposes a number of integration techniques for combining control-based navigation with more abstract path planning functionality for UASs. READ MORE

4. 2. Sampling-based Path Planning for an Autonomous Helicopter

   Author : Per Olof Pettersson; Patrick Doherty; Lars Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Path Planning; Motion Planning; Helicopters; Probabilistic Roadmaps; Rapidly-exploring Random Trees; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : Many of the applications that have been proposed for future small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are at low altitude in areas with many obstacles. A vital component for successful navigation in such environments is a path planner that can find collision free paths for the UAV. READ MORE

5. 3. Navigation Functionalities for an Autonomous UAV Helicopter

   Author : Gianpaolo Conte; Patrick Doherty; Marconi Lorenzo; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Control System; Path Following; Path Planning; Sensor Fusion; Vision Based Landing; Kalman Filter; Real-Time; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : This thesis was written during the WITAS UAV Project where one of the goals has been the development of a software/hardware architecture for an unmanned autonomous helicopter, in addition to autonomous functionalities required for complex mission scenarios. The algorithms developed here have been tested on an unmanned helicopter platform developed by Yamaha Motor Company called the RMAX. READ MORE

6. 4. Using on-line simulation in UAV path planning

   Author : Farzad Kamrani; Rassul Ayani; Steve Turner; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronics; Elektronik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate the problem of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning in search or surveillance mission, when some a priori information about the targets and the environment is available. A search operation that utilizes the available a priori information about the initial location of the targets, terrain data, and information from reasonable assumptions about the targets movement can in average perform better than a uniform search that does not incorporate this information.

7. 5. Risk Aware Path Planning and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance towards Enabling Safe Robotic Missions

   Author : Samuel Karlsson; George Nikolakopoulos; Georgia Chalvatzaki; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotic; Path planning; Obstacle avoidanc; Robotic missions; licenti thesis; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

   Abstract : This compilation thesis presents two main contributions in path planning and obstacle avoidance, as well as an integration of the proposed modules with other frameworks to enable resilient robotic missions in complex environments.In general, through different types of robotic missions it is important to have a collision tolerant and reliable system, both regarding potential risks from collisions with dynamic and static obstacles, but also to secure the overall mission success.
