6. Increasing Autonomy of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Through the Use of Imaging Sensors
Abstract : 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. READ MORE

7. Reactive navigation of an autonomous vehicle in underground mines
Abstract : In most underground mines, LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) vehicles are used to transportore from the stope or muck-pile to a dumping point, and are typically operated by a human who is sitting on-board the vehicle. Generally, an underground mine does not offer the best working environment for humans, and the job of an LHD operator can be characterised as Three D: Dangerous, Dirty and Dull. READ MORE

8. Mobile robot navigation and map generation using range measurements
Abstract : This thesis is on mobile robot navigation using range sensors. The two sensors types used are time-of-flight lasers and sheet-of-light range cameras, both giving densely spaced range measurements. Map generation and navi gation are achieved in indoor environments, even when there are lots of disturbing objects giving cluttered range measurements. READ MORE

9. Autonomous Localization in Unknown Environments
Abstract : Over the last 20 years, navigation has almost become synonymous with satellite positioning, e.g. the Global Positioning System (GPS). On land, sea or in the air, on the road or in a city, knowing ones position is a question of getting a clear line of sight to enough satellites. READ MORE

10. Helping robots help us : Using prior information for localization, navigation, and human-robot interaction
Abstract : Maps are often used to provide information and guide people. Emergency maps or floor plans are often displayed on walls and sketch maps can easily be drawn to give directions. However, robots typically assume that no knowledge of the environment is available before exploration even though making use of prior maps could enhance robotic mapping. READ MORE
