    Abstract : You do not want your drone to crash. Therefore, safety systems should be put in place to prevent such an event, and obstacle avoidance is a major part of this. Today, the most successful techniques use cameras or light detection and ranging (LIDAR) to find and avoid obstacles; but to improve resiliency, multiple systems should be used. READ MORE

  3. 2. Combined Control and Path Planning for a Micro Aerial Vehicle based on Non-linear MPC with Parametric Geometric Constraints

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Björn Lindqvist; [2019]
    Keywords : Non-linear MPC; MAV; Path Planning; Obstacle Avoidance; Robotics; UAV; MPC;

    Abstract : Using robots to navigate through un-mapped environments, specially man-made infrastructures, for the purpose of exploration or inspection is a topic that has gathered a lot of interest in the last years. Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV's) have the mobility and agility to move quickly and access hard-to-reach areas where ground robots would fail, but using MAV's for that purpose comes with its own set of problems since any collision with the environment results in a crash.

  4. 3. Heading towards the Tipping Point? A Swedish study on tax-avoiding activities and future stock crash risk

    Author : Sorena Amini; Kristoffer Ottosson; [2017]

    Abstract : Using a sample consisting of Sweden's most traded stocks for the period 1999-2015, this paper provides robust evidence that long-run corporate tax avoidance increases the risk of future firm-specific stock price crashes. The findings are consistent with the agency view that the complex and opaque characteristics of tax-avoiding activities provide managers with a powerful toolkit for covering and rationalising opportunistic behaviour.
