1. 1. Learning a Grasp Prediction Model for Forestry Applications

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Elias Olofsson; [2024]
   Keywords : Forwarder; Autonomous grasping; Deep learning; Multibody dynamics; Convolutional neural network;

   Abstract : Since the advent of machine learning and machine vision methods, progress has been made in tackling the long-standing research question of autonomous grasping of arbitrary objects using robotic end-effectors. Building on these efforts, we focus on a subset of the general grasping problem concerning the automation of a forwarder. READ MORE

3. 2. Achieving Autonomous Landing of Fixed Wing UAVs

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Arian Kourangi Esfahani; Li Sizhuo; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This bachelor thesis aims to ascertain a method of achieving autonomous landings of autonomouslycontrolled fixed wing UAVs. An autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft capable ofcomplete autonomous flight with the help of a flight computer, sensors, and autopilot software. READ MORE

4. 3. Design and Evaluation of an Automated Pyro Cutter System for Stratospheric Balloons

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Leia Nummisalo; [2023]
   Keywords : Stratospheric balloons; PCB; Recovery system; CNES; pyro cutter;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the development of an autonomous recovery system for stratospheric balloons, focusing on the novel pressurised balloon prototype BALMAN of CNES. Stratospheric balloons, reaching altitudes of up to 40 km, are utilised for scientific experiments, with recovery of payloads being a critical aspect. READ MORE

5. 4. Autonomous Quadcopter Landing with Visual Platform Localization

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Martin Blaszczyk; [2023]
   Keywords : UAV; Autonomy; Landing; Fiducial markers; QR; QR-code; Drone; Platform; MPC; UAV control;

   Abstract : Multicopters such as quadcopters are a popular tool within industries such as mining, shipping and surveillance where a high level of autonomy can save time, increase efficiency and most importantly provide safety. While Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have been a big area in research and used in the mentioned industries, the level of autonomy is still low. READ MORE

6. 5. A Positioning System for Landing a UAV on a UGV in a GNSS-Denied Scenario

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

   Author : Tim Wiik; [2022]
   Keywords : Sensor fusion; UAV; UGV; NIR-LED; Extended kalman filter; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Unmanned Ground Vehicle; Autonomous Landing; GNSS-denied Scenario;

   Abstract : A system of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collaborating with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for use in for example surveillance, reconnaissance, transport and target acquisition is studied. The project investigates the problem of estimating the relative position, velocity and orientation between the UAV and the UGV required to autonomously land the UAV on the UGV during movement.
