  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Intelligent Drone Swarms : Motion planning and safe collision avoidance control of autonomous drone swarms

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Hilding Gunnarsson; Adam Åsbrink; [2022]
    Keywords : Artificial Potential Field APF ; Control Barrier Function CBF ; Leader Follower control; Micro Aerial Vehicle MAV ; Optimal motion planning;

    Abstract : The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), so-called drones, has been growingrapidly in the last decade. Today, they are used for, among other things, monitoring missions and inspections of places that are difficult for people to access. Toefficiently and robustly execute these types of missions, a swarm of drones maybe used, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 3. Attenuation of fan noise with passive methods : An experimental study in the implementation of a ducted fan inside the body of a blended wing body UAV

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mustafa Kulbay; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report is about a novel approach to attenuation of fan noise in aerial vehicles, by way of implementing a ducted fan in the chassis of a four meter blended wing body plane. Three different one meter PVC pipes were used and their performances as silencers were tested by measuring the sound power level and calculating the insulation loss compared to a fan by itself.

  5. 4. 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.
