  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. HEXA: Hazardous EnvironmenteXpedition Apparatus : Design of a multi-terrain hexapodal robot that utilizes sensory feedback

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Linus Backne-Genborg; Viggo Hamberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Hexapod; Inverse Kinematics; Sensory Feedback; Robotics; Mekatronik; Hexapod; Inverterad kinematik; Sensor återkoppling; Robotik;

    Abstract : Many hexapods and other robots struggle with walking in uneven terrain, this is due to their lack of sensory feedback. This is the problem aimed to be solved by introducing a sensory feedback loop that measures the current over the servos. By doing this one could know whether or not the leg is in contact with the ground. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multi-objective optimization for placing airspace surveillance observers

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Amanda Anderson; [2021-08-13]
    Keywords : Facility location; multi-objective optimization; ant colony algorithm; genetic algorithm; pareto optimal; observer placement; 3D viewshed;

    Abstract : Reconnaissance is an important aspect of military planning. Tools that help an alysts monitor and make informed choices are vital for avoiding costly situations. The use of ground-based radar sensors is a common method for monitoring for both land-based and airborne threats. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of Monocular Visual SLAM Methods on UAV Imagery to Reconstruct 3D Terrain

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Fredrik Johansson; Samuel Svensson; [2021]
    Keywords : Computer vision; Simultaneous Localization and Mapping; SLAM; Visual SLAM; V-SLAM; Monocular; UAV; Drone mapping; D reconstruction of terrain; Point cloud;

    Abstract : When reconstructing the Earth in 3D, the imagery can come from various mediums, including satellites, planes, and drones. One significant benefit of utilizing drones in combination with a Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (V-SLAM) system is that specific areas of the world can be accurately mapped in real-time at a low cost.

  6. 5. Detection of motor skidding in autonomous lawn mowers : Detection of skidding in autonomous lawn mower using machine learning technique MLP with wheel motor currents and IMU.

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Datateknik och informatik

    Author : Daniel Truong; [2020]
    Keywords : robot; autonomous; lawn mower; machine learning; detection; skidding;

    Abstract : Purpose – The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate the accuracy of two different approaches of how to detect skidding in autonomous lawn mowers. Using the motor currents and inertia sensors from the mower, a neural network is applied to predict if there was a skidding or not. READ MORE
