1. 1. Design and Implementation of a Rocket Launcher Hybrid Navigation

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

   Author : Omar Ugolini; [2023]
   Keywords : launch vehicle navigation; delayed Kalman filter; strapdown; navigering av bärraketer; fördröjt Kalman-filter; strapdown;

   Abstract : Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) a German New Space Startup is developing a three-stage rocket launcher aiming at LEO/SSO orbits. A fundamental responsibility of the GNC team is the development of the rocket navigation algorithm to estimate the attitude, position, and velocity allowing the guidance and control loops to autonomously steer the rocket.

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. Towards Navigational Aids using Augmented Reality for People with Alzheimer’s Disease in Outdoor Environments : A user study using HoloLens 2 around a University campus

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

   Author : Léa Prémont; [2023]
   Keywords : Augmented reality; Alzheimer’s disease; Navigation; Assistive technology; HoloLens 2; Optical See-Through; Localization; Kalman filter; Hologram; TLX; SUS; Réalité augmentée; Alzheimer; Navigation; Technologie d’assistance; HoloLens 2; Optical See-Through; Localisation; Filtre de Kalman; Hologramme; TLX; SUS; Förstärkt verklighet; Alzheimers sjukdom; Navigering; Tekniska hjälpmedel; HoloLens 2; Optisk genomskinlighet; Lokalisering; Kalman-filter; Hologram; TLX; SUS;

   Abstract : This paper investigates the potential of augmented reality (AR) as a navigational aid for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), offering innovative solutions to the evolving challenges of AD care. As the disease progresses, patients often require more assistance and may transition to care centers, resulting in reduced independence. READ MORE

5. 4. Skyline Delineation for Localization in Occluded Environments : Improved Skyline Delineation using Environmental Context from Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation

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

   Author : Kyle William Coble; [2023]
   Keywords : Skyline delineation; Skyline detection; Semantic segmentation; Terrain based navigation; Digital elevation models; Uncrewed surface vessel; Planetary exploration robots; Horisont avgränsning; Horisont upptäckt; Semantisk segmentering; Terrängbaserad navigering; Digitala höjdmodeller; Obemannat ytfartyg; Planetariska utforskningsrobotar;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of improving the delineation of skylines, also referred to as skyline detection, in occluded and challenging environments where existing skyline delineation methods may struggle or fail. Delineated skylines can be used in monocular camera localization methods by comparing delineated skylines to digital elevation model data to estimate a position based on known terrain. READ MORE

6. 5. Real-Time Continuous Euclidean Distance Fields for Large Indoor Environments

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

   Author : Erik Warberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Room segmentation; Gaussian processes; Euclidean distance fields; mapping; line segment detection; mobile robots; spectral clustering; Rumssegmentering; Gaussiska processer; Euklidiska avståndsfält; kartläggning; detektering av linjesegment; mobila robotar; spektral klustring;

   Abstract : Real-time spatial awareness is essential in areas such as robotics and autonomous navigation. However, as environments expand and become increasingly complex, maintaining both a low computational load and high mapping accuracy remains a significant challenge. READ MORE
