  1. 1. Drones for Sea Rescue: Lab and Field Experiments on Camera Gimbal Control

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

    Author : Alexander Sandström; [2023]
    Keywords : Drones; Search and Rescue; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; UAV; gimbal; camera control; ArduPilot; Quality of Experience; QoE; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis has been to improve the camera controls of a fixed-wing drone to be used in maritime search-and-rescue operations by the Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS). A gimbal control interface (GCI) has been implemented that displays the video feed of the drone camera while taking control inputs from a joystick that moves its view in real-time. READ MORE

  3. 2. Achieving Autonomous Landing of Fixed Wing UAVs

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

    Author : Arian Kourangi Esfahani; Li Sizhuo; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This bachelor thesis aims to ascertain a method of achieving autonomous landings of autonomouslycontrolled fixed wing UAVs. An autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft capable ofcomplete autonomous flight with the help of a flight computer, sensors, and autopilot software. READ MORE

  4. 3. System Identification of a Fixed-Wing UAV Using a Prediction Error Method

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Trulsa Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : System identification; Fixed-wing UAV; Modelling; Parameter estimation;

    Abstract : Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a rapidly expanding area of research due to their versatile usage, such as inspection of places inaccessible to humans and surveillance missions. This creates a demand for a reliable model that can accurately describe the dynamics of the system in order to improve the performance of the vehicle.

  5. 4. Coverage Motion Planning for Search and Rescue Missions : A Costmap Based Approach for fixed wing UAVs using Simulated Annealing &Cubic Splines

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Fredrik Rönnkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Motion planning; Path planning; Cubic splines; Coverage path planning.;

    Abstract : The present study proposes a novel approach to Coverage Path Planning for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspired by the Orienteering Problem. The main goal is to develop an algorithm suitable for Search and Rescue Missions, which can produce a search pattern with dynamical constrains, that is not limited to the traditional back-and-forth motion or spiral patterns.
