  1. 1. Experiments with Visual Odometry for Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

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

    Author : Somnath Balaji Suresh Kumar; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrobatic AUVs; VO; Stonefish; ORB-SLAM2; VISO2; Hydrobatiska AUV:er; VO; Stonefish; ORB-SLAM2; VISO2;

    Abstract : Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are underactuated robots that can perform agile maneuvers in challenging underwater environments with high efficiency in speed and range. The challenge lies in localizing and navigating these AUVs particularly for performing manipulation tasks because common sensors such as GPS become very unreliable underwater due to their poor accuracy.

  3. 2. Teleoperation of an Autonomous Ground-Penetrating Radar for Non-Destructive Surveying: Design and Implementation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Rasmus Beyer; [2023]
    Keywords : Autonomous; GPR; Robotics;

    Abstract : A lot of features that need to be scanned underground should not be disturbed, from waterlines to unmarked graves. A non-invasive way of probing underground is Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR). GPR finds differences in materials with radar waves. However, GPR is human-operated and its position is generally determined with a GPS. READ MORE

  4. 3. Autonomous Navigation: LIDAR-based SLAM, Terrain of Technology Explored

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Oscar Sanner; [2023]
    Keywords : MSc; SLAM; Pathing; ICP; FastSLAM; LIDAR; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an autonomous system capable of navigating and mapping unknown environments is developed. The solution uses a family of algorithms called SLAM or simultaneous localization and mapping, capable of mapping the environment and retaining accurate position data without external sensors such as GPS.

  5. 4. ROS-based implementation of a model car with a LiDAR and camera setup

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Marcus Nises; [2023]
    Keywords : LiDAR; ROS; stereoscopic camera; SLAM; Linux; rplidar a1; raspberry pi;

    Abstract : The aim of this project is to implement a Radio Controlled (RC) car with a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor and a stereoscopic camera setup based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) to conduct Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). The LiDAR sensor used is a 2D LiDAR, RPlidar A1, and the stereoscopic camera setup is made of two monocular cameras, Raspberry Pi Camera v2. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
