1. 1. 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

3. 2. Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees for real-time combined Exploration andPath Planning

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Kalle Löfgren; [2023]
   Keywords : Robotics; RRT; ERRT; Exploration; Autonomous exploration; path planning; goal generation;

   Abstract : The use of micro aerial vehicles (MAV) for civilian use such as exploration and inspection of varying structures, equipment and areas have garnered some interest as of late. MAVs have the mobility and agility to traverse three dimensional space quickly and access hard to reach areas where other alternatives would struggle, but a flying platform such as a MAV comes with it’s own set of distinct problems.

4. 3. Autonomous Aerial Void Exploration

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Datavetenskap

   Author : Emil Vidmark; [2020]
   Keywords : Robotics; Quadrotor; Autonomous Vehicles; Autonomous Exploration;

   Abstract : Deploying robots in unknown and complex areas for inspection tasks is becoming a real need for various application scenarios. Recently, there has been an increasing interest to develop and use autonomous aerial robots in environments such as urban voids and subterranean mine tunnels, aiming to decrease the human presence in dangerous or inaccessible areas.

5. 4. Monocular vision-based obstacle avoidance for Micro Aerial Vehicles

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Samuel Karlsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Obstacle avoidance; Micro Aerial Vehicles; Monovular vision; Moving obstacle; Time prediction; Pixel coordinates;

   Abstract : The Micro Aerial Vehicless (MAVs) are gaining attention in numerous applications asthese platforms are cheap and can do complex maneuvers. Moreover, most of the commer-cially available MAVs are equipped with a mono-camera. READ MORE

6. 5. Towards Robust Localization : Deep Feature Extraction with Convolutional Neural Networks

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Signaler och system

   Author : Erik Carlbaum Ekholm; [2020]
   Keywords : Autonomous Vehicles; MAVs; Visual Odometry; Localization; Convolutional Neural Networks; Optical Flow;

   Abstract : The ability for autonomous robotics to localize themselves in the environment is crucial and tracking the change of features in the environment is key for visual based odometry and localization. When shifting into rough environments of dust, smoke and poor illumination as well as erratic movements common in MAVs however, that task becomes substantially more difficult. READ MORE
