1. 1. Early-Stage Validation of Autonomous Vehicles in Ambiguous Environments : A Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) of an Autonomous Military Defense Industry Vehicle

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

   Author : Maria Axelsson; [2024]
   Keywords : STPA; System Safety; AFRY; Milrem Robotics; Safety Analysis; Autonomous Vehicles; Control Structure; Control Model; NGV; THeMIS; themis; THEMIS;

   Abstract : This report delves into the early developmental phase of an autonomous vehicle designed for defense applications. Navigating diverse terrains, this unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) poses unique challenges, particularly in the absence of clearly defined directives found in typical traffic scenarios. READ MORE

3. 2. Towards the Implementation of Autonomous Vehicles - Stakeholders' Perspectives and Concerns

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Paolo Concetti; [2023-07-19]
   Keywords : Autonomous Driving; Autonomous Vehicles; Critical Adoption Points; City Planning; Stakeholders Analysis;

   Abstract : A large part of the efforts of companies in the automotive sector today is directed towards the development of autonomous driving. According to many studies conducted in recent years, autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to introduce a real revolution in mobility. READ MORE

4. 3. Trust in Motion: Navigating the Liability of Distrust in Autonomous Vehicle Digital Brand Communication

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för strategisk kommunikation

   Author : Saga Blomström; Josef Waldfogel; [2023]
   Keywords : Automated vehicles; Autonomous; AV; Artificial intelligence; AI; SAE level 5; Digital Brand Communication; Liability of distrust; Startups; Source credibility model; Framing theory; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : While previous research has primarily focused on the sources and causes shaping attitudes towards artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, this research attempts to shed light on the communication efforts employed by autonomous vehicle companies. Using qualitative content analysis of the website material from three distinct SAE level 5 autonomous vehicle organizations, the study aims to achieve two primary objectives: to investigate how digital brand communication in the autonomous vehicle industry addresses the liability of distrust, and to propose improvements for redesigning communication to reduce consumer distrust.

5. 4. Robust light source detection for AUV docking

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

   Author : Joar Edlund; [2023]
   Keywords : Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; Docking; Detection; Poseestimation; Visual Navigation; Autonoma Undervattensfordon; Dockning; Detektering; Positionsestimering; Visuell Navigation;

   Abstract : For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to be able to conduct longterm surveys, the ability to return to a docking station for maintenance and recharging is crucial. A dynamic docking system where a slowly moving submarine acts as the docking station provides increased hydrodynamic control and reduces the impact of environmental disturbances. READ MORE

6. 5. DRONAR: Obstacle echolocation using ego-noise

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

   Author : Henrik Nilsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Drone; Autonomous systems; Obstacle avoidance; Sound; Noise; Planning; SONAR; Ego-noise; Multi-rotor aerial vehicle; Unmanned areal vehicle; Drönare; Autonoma system; Hinderundvikning; Ljud; Oljud; Planering; SONAR; Egenljud; Multirotorfordon; Obemannat luftfordon;

   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
