4. 2. 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

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

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

6. 4. Estimation and Detection with Applications to Navigation

   Author : David Törnqvist; Fredrik Gustafsson; Hugh Durrant-Whyte; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Navigation; SLAM; Particle Filter; Estimation; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The ability to navigate in an unknown environment is an enabler for truly utonomous systems. Such a system must be aware of its relative position to the surroundings using sensor measurements. It is instrumental that these measurements are monitored for disturbances and faults. READ MORE

7. 5. Lifelong Visual Localization for Automated Vehicles

   Author : Peter Mühlfellner; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Roland Philippsen; Tom Duckett; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vision-based localization; automated vehicles;

   Abstract : Automated driving can help solve the current and future problems of individualtransportation. Automated valet parking is a possible approach to help with overcrowded parking areas in cities and make electric vehicles more appealing. In an automated valet system, drivers are able to drop off their vehicle close to a parking area. READ MORE
