  1. 1. Deep Monocular Visual Odometry for fixed-winged Aircraft : Exploring Deep-VO designed for ground use in a high altitude aerial environment

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

    Author : Oliver Öhrstam Lindström; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep-VO; Aviation; Fixed-Wing; Aircraft; Deep Learning; Deep-VO; Hög Höjd; Flygplan; Deep Learning;

    Abstract : In aviation, safety is a big concern. Knowing the position of an aircraft at all times is of high importance. Today most aircraft utilize Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for localization and precision navigation because of the small position error which do not increase over time. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development of a Deep-space-capable Navigation System for the Hugin Space Exploration Technology Demonstration Satellite Mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Axel Widenfelt; [2021]
    Keywords : Autonomous optical navigation; Autonom optisk navigering;

    Abstract : Development of autonomous in-fight navigation capability for a CubeSat mission is a challenging task, often ignored in favour of relying on a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). However, the potential value in solving this problem becomes great for deep-space missions where such networks have limited coverage. READ MORE

  4. 3. Cooperative Navigation in Space in-proximity of Small Bodies

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Vignesh Kottayam Viswanathan; [2021]
    Keywords : Formation Flying; Asteroid exploration; stereovision;

    Abstract : Autonomous proximity operations are the future of Deep space robotic exploration for searchof life, mining for resources and to establish outposts. Part of that future depends on howwell the spacecraft is capable to navigate around the complex environment of the smallcelestial body. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.

  6. 5. Home Assistant Navigation - Smart Optical and Laser Orientation : H.A.N.S.O.L.O

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : PHILIP ANDERSSON; EDVIN KUGELBERG; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the market for autonomous home assistants steadily growing, reasons for the development of new ways of communicating with the robot assistants have emerged. This thesis aims to develop a system wherein a human can draw instructions for the robot to interpret and follow or perform. An autonomous robot based on an Arduino board was built. READ MORE
