  1. 1. Unmanned Ground Vehicles in Urban Military Operations : A case study exploring what the potential end users want

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Interaktiva och kognitiva system

    Author : Victor Lindholm; [2022]
    Keywords : UGV; military; autonomous systems; human-robot interaction; machine vision;

    Abstract : Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) can be used in the military to mitigate risks taken by soldiers as well as to provide solutions to physically demanding, dull or dangerous tasks. While there are benefits of using UGVs, there are also needs and limitations that come with them. READ MORE

  2. 2. Optical Navigation for Autonomous Approach of Unexplored Small Bodies

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Jacopo Villa; [2020]
    Keywords : Small Bodies; Asteroids; Comets; Autonomy; SLAM; Mapping; Navigation; Orbit Determination; Astrodynamics; Computer Vision; Feature Tracking; Små Kroppar; Asteroider; Kometer; Autonomi; SLAM; Kartläggning; Navigering; Omloppsbestämning; Astrodynamik; Computer Vision; Feature Tracking;

    Abstract : This thesis presents an autonomous vision-based navigation strategy applicable to the approach phase of a small body mission, developed within the Robotics Section at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Today, the operations performed to approach small planetary bodies are largely dependent on ground support and human decision-making, which demand operational complexity and restrict the spectrum of achievable activities throughout the mission.

  3. 3. Planetary Rover Wheel and Lower Leg Structural Design to Reduce Rock Entanglements

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

    Author : Natalie Lawton; [2020]
    Keywords : Mars; rover; wheels; planetary rover wheels; flexible wheels; rigid wheels;

    Abstract : This thesis looks at the SherpaTT planetary rover. The rover is a hybrid walking and driving rover that has been developed and built by DFKI and has already been deployed on several Mars analogue field studies. The SherpaTT rover wheels were found to become entangled in rocks during the last field deployment in Morocco. READ MORE

  4. 4. Detection of Archaeological Sites from Aerial Imagery using Deep Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jorge Lazo; [2019]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Archaeology; Computer Vision; Aerial Imagery; Transfer Learning.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In recent years, Deep Learning has proven to be an outstanding tool in the field of computer vision showing promising results in different fields such as the analysis of medical images, obstacle detection for self-driving cars, automatic image caption generation, etc. In the case of Archaeology, the adoption of these methods in the detection of archaeological structures from aerial images has been slower than in other fields.

  5. 5. Plant phenology and climate change : possible effect on the onset of various wild plant species first flowering day in the UK

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nigel Fox; [2019]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; plants; phenology; climate change; global warming; FFD; IPCC; Bluebell; Garlic mustard; Coltsfoot; Cuckooflower; United Kingdom; Woodland Trust; UK; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The IPCC states that the planet is significantly warming due to effects of climate change. This warming effect has consequences for phenological events. Many species cannot track rapid climate change, resulting in phenological mismatches. This study looks at an extreme weather event and the longer-term effects of climate change. READ MORE
