  1. 26. State Estimation of UAV using Extended Kalman Filter

    University essay from Reglerteknik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Thom Magnusson; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In unmanned systems an autopilot controls the outputs of the vehicle withouthuman interference. All decisions made by the autopilot will depend on estimatesdelivered by an Inertial Navigation System, INS. For the autopilot to take correctdecisions it must rely on correct estimates of its orientation, position and velocity. READ MORE

  3. 27. Fault diagnosis of a Fixed Wing UAV Using Hardware and Analytical Redundancy

    University essay from Fordonssystem; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Michael Andersson; [2013]
    Keywords : Fault Diagnosis; Model based diagnosis; Redundancy; Autopilot; UAV; fixed-wing;

    Abstract : In unmanned aerial systems an autopilot controls the vehicle without human interference. Modern autopilots use an inertial navigation system, GPS, magnetometers and barometers to estimate the orientation, position, and velocity of the aircraft. In order to make correct decisions the autopilot must rely on correct information from the sensors. READ MORE

  5. 29. Assembly of a UAV : hardware design of a UAV

    University essay from Sektionen för Informationsvetenskap, Data– och Elektroteknik (IDE)

    Author : Ugur BOZKURT; Mustafa Aslan; [2009]
    Keywords : UAV; lego; NXT; mindstorm; autopilot; co-pilot;

    Abstract : This bachelor thesis is dedicated to assemble the hardware system of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in order to prepare the platform for an autonomous flight in the air for a given path through the pre-programmed check points. A UAV is an aircraft that contains sensors, GPS, radio system, servomechanisms and computers, which provide the capability of an autonomous flight without a human pilot in the cockpit. READ MORE

  6. 30. Optimizing Yacht Routes using Dynamic Programming

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Mikael Lindberg; [2003]
    Keywords : Optimization; Yacht Routing; Dynamic Programming; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A method for generating minimum time yacht routes for short distances while avoiding stationary obstacles and taking into account wave and water current disturbances is sought. The method should be feasible for use in an autopilot type construction. READ MORE
